Then I have to ask what is bolstering the sales of the other two consoles. Less specifically the 360 which seems to always be low, but remarkably stable. However what is moving PS3 sales in Japan. Have there been some killer releases that I am not aware of? |
Well Nintendo's last big game in Japan was Dragon Quest Swords (about 12 weeks ago) whereas the PS3's last big game was Everybody's Golf 5 ... In the time since then the only Wii game of note has been Mario Strikers (a very minor series in Japan) where the PS3 has seen a steady release of minor games like Oblivion and Bladestorm; on top of that the PS3 gains some steady sales as a Blu-Ray player being that it is still (one of) the least expensive Blu-Ray players in Japan and the format war seems decided there.
