Will the PS3 be able to outsell the Wii in Japan any week this year?

Shame; Wii got the shaft.
I have the feeling though that some time soon such neglect will return to bite people in the ass.

No matter though; smaller teams will make way for next gen. It is only a matter of time. You wonder though why Japan bitches sometimes about gaming dying, yet they won't support the console that most people in their country want.

The only reason this 'core/un-comatose' audience they praise is on the PS3 or 360 is because they have thrown literally hundreds of those titles their way, and gave the Wii about 3 dozen. If the Wii got at least 25% more from the get-go they wouldn't be in such dire straits for a global audience.

on the other hand if PS3 got all those JRPG's/Ace Combat 6 from the get go it would have been much stronger too. PS3 missed out on boosts from fanbase for the new Tales of a gen, new Star Ocean of a gen, new Ace Combat of a gen. Not to mention the Sakaguchi games.

But Companies put them on 360 as they thought they could penetrate the Western Market by being on 360 only (Ps3 was doing less than GBA monthly in NA then).....but now FF13 doubled 360 versions sales in NA showing which console had the affinity for JRPG sales. Its been a whole round of bad decisions but things have improved greatly now with Xenoblade & The Last Story announcements!

The PS3 would have gotten a few brief sales spikes from those titles, but still the PS3 price would ruin things. I agree though, making those 360 exclusive was extremely stupid. Moneyhatting has destroyed A LOT of things as a result.

As for Xenoblade & The Last Story, TLS will be better lol
