@brute,

@crazzyman but ps1 and ps2 only japan and not 2 regions
Well, it`s the way how systems were launched. this time Sony decided not leave USA market(where x360 good strong support) and launched PS3 also in USA, though it could easy launch PS3 in USA by march 2007. Just like they did with PS2.

@Oyvoyvoyv, here is the point:
http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS2&reg2=Japan&cons3=PS3&reg3=Japan&weeks=400
ps2 did 22 mln. in Japan.
psOne did 18.5 mln. in Japan.
I believe PS3 will ALSO do close to 20 mln. in Japan.
As for now, there is NOTHING against that graphic, which we have now in Japan. Only after more sales data we will see, how close/far ps3 will be.

Once again, you miss the entire point. Who cares what the games LOOK like, we are talking about developer resources and what gets ported where.
@CrashMan, so what games will be ported from x360 to ps3 in 2008?
Opinion stated as fact = universal signal to ignore the person
Yeah, it`s an opinion. You will be able to deny it only in 2009, so sit now and relax. =)))

@crumas2,
1) ok, it`s only a January has ended.

2) burnout 5, but it`s only a January. PS3 still have 3rd party exclusives, i don`t even know, is there anyt 3rd party exclusive on x360. Wii has some, but most 3rd party Wii games don`t sell.

3) time will show, not it`s too early to say how thing will go on.

4) ps3 will have MOST mln. sellers BRAND games in 2008.

Howerver, x360 for NOW still have BIGGER game library. BUT not for LONG.
PS2 sales were only increasing on it`s 2nd-3rd year.

@Stever89,
IF 250$ was friendly enough to sell 20 mln. Wii, why just 50$ more wont be friendly for a mediacenter? =))
The part in bold is opinion.
I corrected myself. =]
Also, the GameCube had a better start to the 2003 year compared to 2002 in Japan, yet ultimately sold less than the first year. Links are below.
Playstation BRAND for last 10 years is STRONGER then n64, GC, Wii(every time new console name).



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
