Yes and the ps3 is not going to sell even 1 unit and just stay there as the 360 catches up... What I see is that there are a couple of game for the 360 on that list that may boost sales, but for some wierd japanese reason they dont like the 360, I dont understand it. The thing is cheaper than the ps3, has more games for japanese gamers to enjoy, and etc.. Just like with brain training how da hell is that game a million seller in japan?

I enjoy your post Leo-J. Particularly the highlighted part. It's essentially your argument for why the PS3 will catch the 360 in the US and Europe. Funny stuff. Why don't the Japanese by the 360? MS botched the X-box 1 in Japan with a severe lack of Japanese centric titles. The 360 launched in Japan with a lack of Japanese titles initially, which continued the trend. Its why the 360 started off slower than the original X-box in Japan but has since past it's selling rate. The 360 is essentially dealing with the problem the Gamecube had in the US. It got labelled early on in its life and has to fight to shake that reputation. In the Gamecube's case it was the "kiddie" image and in the 360s case its the "FPS Console" label.
