well ps3 will continue to dominate(29 october bayonetta ,tekken 6 ,the last rebellion)until december with a lot of games to support it |
What exactly is PS3 dominating? It sure as hell isn´t Wii since they are both tied in hardware right now and Wii is having bigger softwaresales (so if anything Wii is dominating but I would certainly not call it that).
If one is to be nice to Sony one can say that it´s a tie right now regarding the consolerace in Japan but the one who is dominating Japan is as usual NDS with both huge sales in hardware and software. In Japan we should not look at things in terms of consoles and portables being in separate markets. Since they very clearly are competing in the same arena for custumers. NDS is this generations PS2 in Japan saleswise, that is the only proper way to look at it.

it is nonsence comparing DS to PS3
SINCE THEY DIFFER SO MUCH
|
The only time people say that is when it favors there argument.
If Ps3 was selling identically to DS, noone would hesitate to brag about it. But since it isn't, "they can't be compared".
Also, when Wii was outselling PS3 by 10-1 in Japan. People said "they can't be compared, they are too different" Now that they are neck and neck after the SLim, how things have changed, they can be compared now!.

Japanese like small things or they are adapted to live in small places. I think it is difficult to them to have a 52'' lcd tv + a 7.1
HT + a PS3 Phat (now slim solved part of the problem). They have no more room for it. Think about it.

Good observation but it isn't telling the entire story.
It's not just because their homes are smaller, but because the Japanese men spend most of their daily lifes at work away from their homes(which mainly is used for sleeping).
This is why it's a waste for them to invest in big TVs, homeconsoles and PCs. Instead they invest in mobile TVs, phones(for internet browsing) and portable consoles(especially now where they do the essense of JRPGs just as well) which can be used i breaks and on the train.
