Well really what games could they buy? The only reason to buy a PS3 in Japan at the moment is for the potential.

Or Blu-ray  Blu-ray has over 90% of the Next Gen DVD market in Japan, so it wouldn't be uncommon for them to pick up a PS3 instead of a standalone Blu-ray player. They can also play PS2 games on it.

Yeah Blu-ray could be the reason considering most of the consumers are probably technophiles.

"Yeah. Say what you want about the potential, but the truth is they get it for BR. Same thing happened with PS2 back in the day. I remember reading that they had sold around 700,000 PS2's in Japan, but only 70k games. Same thing is happening now. Cheap BR. That is what will drive sales to the top, assuming it DOES become the standard."

Blu-ray most likely will be the standard but the problem is that it'll happen too late to help the PS3.
