Japan's failure is worse, relatively, even if in absolute terms it isn't as bad, because there's only really one competitor there. If the market *should* be 48/48/4, with the smaller share going to Microsoft, a reality of 85/12/3 is much more devastating than a 33/33/33 market going 60/10/30. Keep in mind, both situations are bad, but when you take into account that PS3 *should* have most of the Japanese people who would normally buy a 360, Japan is much worse. Also, Japan has more reliable weekly numbers than the US at the moment, so you focus on the more concrete. Notice how nobody ever mentions which console is winning in Europe? |
I will bite. Wii
And guess who is currently trending worse in this market?
PS3 is your answer. It is currently trending last in all three markets.
PS3 numbers are still dropping by a large number since launch. Bottom is a ways off.
Post launch weeks PS3 "others". Look at those numbers continue to drop.
