Last I checked, the Japanese aren't buying that many PS3s either. If you're going to sit here and tell me it's because the Japanese only like Japanese consoles, then the PS3 having sold just over 3 million units in Japan is 100% pathetic in my opinion. Face it: PS3 sales in Japan are still really wimpy. It's picked up a little steam in recent months, but chances are it will lose that steam like it usually does.
Now, I'm really not a PS3 hater. Really, I'm not. If the price on them comes down a lot more, I'll probably even get one. But sheesh, guys. Don't ignore the facts. The Xbox 360 (and original Xbox) are not boasting stellar sales in Japan, but relatively speaking, neither is the PS3. And even furthermore, they're even buying less Wiis this days.
My point? Japan does not matter nearly as much in the "console war" numbers game as it did last gen or the gen before that. They're different kinds of gamers than a lot of other countries. And that is why neither the 360 OR the PS3 are not selling well in Japan.
