With all the supposed good news for Sony lately, people sure have been ignoring the fact the PS3 is dead in Japan. Sales are down down down to a pitiful 18,000 or less per week again.

 

Without it's home territory embracing it, how can PS3 be as strong as people claim (even though it's sales are not so good anywhere)? It's like PS3's skeleton in the closet, people dont speak aboput PS3's horrible, horrible sales in Japan. 

PS3 sales are not so good anywhere? What are you looking at nexgenwars.com?
