Sorry for delay, was playing Fifa.
Anyway...
So winning in a region aint good, glad we have established that.

Also seece, the PS3 is having its best year in Japan so far, 2007 was terrible for a comparison.

@Ghaude
The logic is dumb.
2k + 3k in consoles would be terrible.
20k plus, on the otherhand... in the worst market, is good, considering the numbers last year.
Being up YoY, is good.

 

"Good considering" is not, "Good" and especially not, "Great."

His logic is perfect. Yours is faulty.

Your logic is based now on previous performance as an overall expectation. His logic still counters yours because you made that sarcastic comment about winning a market being bad. But if they sold 3k and 2k respectively (assuming Microsoft still sold less than them), then would PS3 not still be winning the market?

 

edit: I am going to sleep now. Hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Exactly, the PS3 is only doing 'well' because its beating its weak past and importantly the Wii is doing so bad

Still, in this day and age, we dont expect anything to sell as well as the Wii, and if both the PS3 and 360 continue at this pace, HD gaming will find its market in Japan which is excellent news. The Japanese developers are lost in their world with the DS, PSP and even the Wii all being odd markets.
