| Shane said: PS3's getting slapped around in Japan, but the lead is just north of a million units. Far from insurmountable. |
Well when being outsold 70K to 11K a week it becomes more and more insurmontable every week. Let me put it this way. The Wii is selling like the PS2 in Japan and the PS3 is selling like the Gamecube...But wait the gamecube sold more for the same number of weeks.
Trends are important for markets and the trends in all 3 regions are not favorable for the PS3. the reason this is is because of price and price alone it is far too expensive and it is wearing at the barnd name each time a news story gets out about the Wii being hard to get and people seeing PS3s in the stores.
Most people can not tell the difference between HD and SD. Most people look at HDTVs and say flat Big and colorful. In fact the bigget difference that ATSC has bought is in fact Color depth, and Progressive scan. The rest is noticeable but not everyone looks at their TV like that. For many people you could sell them an EDTV as an HDTV and they would think it was an HDTV because it will have the two big factors of dgital TV Color depth and progressive and also flat panel.
