What I find funny is that when the Wii was completely destroying the PS3 in Japan, Sony fanboys started to mention how the Japanese market was becoming irrelevant and small compared to the other 2, but now that the PS3 manage to sell relatively well for 3 big weeks, it doesn't seem to be so irrelevant now.........Just a remark ;)

Otherwise, let's see, we will know in 2 or 3 weeks, for now, the PS3 is surfing on another price cut and the new white model, plus 2 bigs games that were just released, with the sales of the last 49 weeks, we will probably see the Wii sales skyrocket during the Holidays. It will be interesting to see if PS3 sales will manage to stay that high, that would be a great accomplishment compared to the whole year.

I thought it was the Wiifans who said that because of the Mario Galaxy sales :D

 

 No they said the market was nothing but handhelds, instead of irrelevant.  It was definetly the Sony fans stating the entire market was irrelevant.

My statement for it, which I got a few agreements from, is that the market was in a short term diminishing returns caused by heightened DS sales on the market for almost 2 years, and then heightened Wii sales for about a year.  Something that was very plausible in Japan, which itself was sustaining sales of DS on levels of that of other regions, yet half the market size of it.  And take note if the top brandname, which is the DS, goes into diminishing returns then so does the entire market.  That was my reasoning for the dropoffs being as random as they were, as really it makes sense.  Saying the market was in anyway irrelevant or simply nothing but handheld(although it seems to be more dominated by handhelds now) is simply not true.
