Can PS3 take the Japanese holiday season?

You do realize the PS3 actually sold more then the Wii in Japan for the first 4 and a half months of this yr right?   Without a price cut that is. There is no delusions here, only opinions that are plausable.

It's not a matter of how well the PS3 performed/offered, its a lack of what the Wii library was. The Wii had little to entice the Japanese market until June, so the sales slumped. The PS3 had some titles to offer, but it didn't make their sales amazing or anything. With the exception of FF13, there's little fire for the Japanese market in terms of sales recovery.

@OP - I can't see PS3 outselling Wii this holiday season in Japan or elsewhere for that matter. They have too much of a negative typecast to shake off, and its glued on pretty good.
