no Ps3 game, not even FF13, i remember back in time people making FF13 so huge that it would stop the Wii in Japan...

every time something huge is about to enter Wii territory Nintendo releases something even more huge....

great for Darkside Chronicles

even though there is no PS3 game in the top ten, the PS3 may actually beat the Wii this week in Japan. The numbers were quite close last week.

 

 

20% difference != "quite close"

Less than 10% actually and the Wii is dropping at a faster rate than the PS3

Problem there is the Wii is selling by far more games in Japan of late than PS3. FFXIII is really the only game currently keeping the PS3 "afloat" in Japan right now. Sooner or later something has to give. A console that is selling very little software cannot keep pace with a console that consistanty sells tons of software, especially when a giant like NSMB Wii is now unleashed. You could argue that the Blu ray player is a major selling point that will keep the PS3 going, but it's only a secondary feature, which cannot keep it going on its own.

We'll have to see what happens over the next few months as the software scale is starting to lean back towards PS3 in quality releases, but that doesn't necessarilly mean they will all sell well.
