Not to sound like a rampant fanboy but........... HEHEHE. Sony is bending over and getting some Nintendo and MS lovin' right about now. 35000 copies - Isn't that what DOAX2 sold its first day? On a system that had less than half the user basis? Although I am sure that Sony will end up doing decent, 10m units of PS3s sold over the next 3-4 years might be difficult. The fact is, unlike the Wii and even 360 in Japan, good titles are doing atrocious. The attach ratio is horrid (somewhere in the area of 1.5, versus 2.1 for the Wii and 2.9ish for the 360). I think LOZ and BD are perfect comparisons. LoZ is a mediocre franchise in Japan (far better in US and Europe), but still sold well. BD is a game that has created a small (but growing) market for the 360 in Japan. The big question: Will the PS3 do over 40k this week in sales? Something tells me it might get around 35k units sold this week. Quick Summary of why this happened: Japaneese kiddos are too poor to buy the POS3 and games. 20k units of PS3s are good per week for the price, but its forcing software titles to do poorly. Atleast the 360 was remotely affordable.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
