PS3 before the WII just as I predcited. SD market in Japan is saturated.

1.18 Mio Xbox360
3.80 Mio PS3
8.69 Mio Wii

In Japan the HD market is significantly smaller then in the rest of the World. Because the Xbox360 was no choice for Japan and PS3 was too expensive until now. In the End the HD market will be bigger or atleast as big as the SD market.

Currently its: 5 Mio vs 8.7 Mio this is 36% vs 64%. And the PS3 will grow until its about 50/50.

Why should be Japan different then the Rest of the World. If the SD market was not so big in Japan and it would be 50/50 there then the HD market would be 58% and the SD market would be 42%.

I knew this would happen. And it will continue. The PS3 will catch up to the WII in the future even more until its atleast 45% HD market. But it would be weird if Japan the High-Tech Country would have a smaller HD market then the rest of the World. So I think that PS3 will gain a lot sales in Japan in the next 2 years.

Its just logical in my eyes. You can see this development. Japan is the market where the Pricedrop failed the most. I wouldnt be shocked if the Gen would end with PS3 above the WII in Japan. But I am sure it will atleast catch up until the difference is 2 Mio.
