Yeah I can see it. The 360 and Wii really have the US market locked down, so the PS3 really doesn't get the highest sales there much, if at all. The same could be said of the 360 in Japan though. (360 here as a completely similar situation, 3rd place with PS3 in 1st) One area doesn't really matter. The 360 was still 3rd in Japan despite the Slim/Reach combo. In some markets, a console just simply doesn't do as well as the competition. The 360 in Japan is a much more extreme situation though. That's the beauty of having WW numbers to look at. It might be 3rd place by 4k in Americas, but it's 1st place worldwide over the Wii/360 by about 55k units. |
Very true! America isn't everything but it certainly is big...you have to remember though that right now Others and Japan can make up the gap in America but what happens when that gap gets a lot bigger? Wii and 360 will only go up in America and the gap will get a lot bigger. Also Others and Japan may be PS3 land right now but again Kinect and huge Wii things(Red Wii, D.K.C.R) have yet to be released and that gap in Japan and Others should shrink...All I am saying is that Sony already played almost everything with only G.T.5 left while Microsoft and Nintendo still have a good amount left. I could be wrong but in my opinion the PS3 will be #3 this Holiday for sure but with that said I see PS3 outselling the 360 Worldwide in lifetime sales with 2011 being the starting point of PS3>360
