It's a little bit more complicated than that, Branko. When we first started hearing that PS3 weekly sales had passed Wii weekly sales in Japan, the raging Sony fanboys immediately launched into delusions of grandeur: "PS3 Domination!" Which prompted Nintendo fanboys to start spinning the damage control machine: "Wii is winning worldwide sales!" And then we're off on the endless bickering cycle of the console wars again. *rollseyes* The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between. Wii fans can't admit that the PS3 really has shown strong Japanese sales since the price cut/new model introductions. Sony fans are rushing way too fast to proclaim victory, when it hasn't yet been shown that these sales can be sustained over the long haul. To find out if Sony can turn the Japanese market into a true battleground again, we'll really have to wait until after the holiday shopping period is over, and see where normal weekly sales stabilize for each system. But since most Internet posters would rather hurl pithy insults back and forth... go ahead, have your fun. |
I agree with what you say I personally wouldn't mind if both of the consoles got huge boosts in that region. I think Japan needs to stand up and really be counted. It's time it showed us some really serious sales that we all know it's capable of doing.
