I don't think any of the PS3 fanboys realize how Japan skews the PS3 numbers.

Look at the NA and Europe numbers, the 360 outsold the PS3 by 22,348, or 26%

MS is probably worried that it sold so low, but they just need to look at the PS3 numbers and feel better about their situation.

The economy is hurting, not as many people are willing to spend $$ on a console.

 

Don't you mean how much US skews the 360 numbers....

Double standard my friend.  The US doesn't somehow count more than Japan.  Both the PS3 and the 360 have skewed sales across the regions.

 

 

 

What he means is that the US and Europe count as one market and Japan counts as a separate market which is true as the games dont sell to each other very well. Western games dont sell well in Japan and Japanese games dont sell well in the west outside of a few select franchises like Final Fantasy and Resident Evil. It really is 2 entirely different markets. Japan doesnt care at all about Halo or GTA but they go ape crazy over Dragon Quest and Idol Master. Dragon Quest 8 only sold 500k in the west even on the PS2!!!
