By the time the GC got to where the PS3 is now, the PS2 had over 10 million in Japan. The competition was too far ahead and too strong. Thus the GC sold poorly. The situation is a lot less dire in Japan, with only 5.37 million Wiis vs. 1.95 PS3s. The PS3 has to do 2 things this year: it has to move consoles, and it has to show it can move software as well. |
That's a pretty poor argument. For Japan sales I could just as easily make the argument that the PS3 is in a worse position than the GC because the Wii is selling faster than the PS2. Which argument seems to be born out by the facts? Probably neither, yet.
