Japanese don't like glasses, or expensive TV's

 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/japanese-turned-off-by-3d-glasses

 Of those, almost 70 per cent cited the hassle of wearing special glasses, 57 per cent said prices were too high

If I am not mistaken, the Japanese market is where Sony beats out Nintendo and Microsoft. If this is a true reflection of the market, then Sony may be in a bit of a bind. Sony with the Move will be introducing 3D games in an effort to push the sales of their $3,000 plus 3D televisions and as this article points out, the Japanese consumer on a mass scale will not bite.


10.4 mil Wii to 5.3 mil PS3.

30.7 mil DS to 14.8 PSP.

Huh?


i think he meant when SONY has a good price for PS3 to compete with Nintendo

most of the Wii overhaul sales over PS3 were before PS3 hit $299 last year

and PSP got murdered by piracy but still outsells DS many times

Well.... with half the sales, psp should eventually start outselling the DS....

PSP and DS nowdays outsell each other week on week

its just that because of the PSP piracy the software sales that boost PSP first week go down after few weeks.also Nitendo has been dominant in handheld and has pokemon,mario to save it

Considering Monster Hunter single handedly kept PSP from Dreamcasting in Japan, it's a bit humorous you'd attribute Mario & Pokemon exclusively as "saving" DS.  What about Brain Training, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Inazuma Eleven, Dragon Quest, Tomodachi Collection, Final Fantasy, Kirby, Rhythm Heaven or various other Japanese million sellers the platform's had?  How many Japanese million sellers has PSP seen outside Monster Hunter? ;)

DS and PSP piracy are almost equal btw.  The top 20 best selling games on each in Japan had around 20m pirated downloads according to that Famitsu study.  And "nowadays" DS is doubling PSP sales, after it's first Japanese pricedrop ever.
