| BengaBenga said: Extremely low sales for PS3 and Wii. Under 25k during Golden Week is pathetic, nothing else. Which one of the two "wins" a week versus the other has become a completely useless feat as both are underperforming. Nintendo and Sony must do something or console gaming in Japan might sonn become a thing of the past, which will have severe concequences for those that like Japanese games on consoles. |
Sony could probably do it with a price cut or slim to get above 30k regularly. Many people were saying that PS3 development would be dropped in favor of the Wii in Japan. Honestly, that doesn't seem to be happening as much as some were wishing as PS3 is getting quite a few jRPG announcements that could have easily been for the Wii. The PS3 base in Japan seems to be easier to sell jRPGs to even if they are fairly niche.
I think both need to do a price drop of 10,000 yen soon to get back to where they were - for Nintendo to be back to it's former glory and for Sony to do 200% better rather than 100% better than before.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
