So the PS3 was dead too back then?

Good to know.

PS3 was never a hit in Japan, far from that.  Most japanese third-parties migrated to Nintendo platforms or Handheld(PSP + NDS)

If Wii U can't pull better numbers than current ones. It will only prove that Japan has become a market for portable gaming.

Also pretty sure people called the PS3 dead back then. It was doomed and had already failed. Some fought against that because it had some big sellers on the way (FF, Monster Hunter (at the time it was still a PS3 exclusive, Metal Gear, etc.)
