NOT enough Japan oriented games.
Almost NO JRPG. Are you people insane? A console without good jrpg won`t sell in Japan.
But everything will be FINE by the end of this year.
After MGS4, RE5, WKS, ES, LR, FFXIII, GT5, SO4, KH3 and other Japan oriented games PS3 will gain, just like PSP now gaining after MH2G release.

You are worrying, like 1 year ago, when some people were thinking that PS3 is doomed, LOL. =)

It will take some time, BUT it will gain.
You don`t believe me? Then look at psOne sales in Japan. =)

PS3 is the ONLY HD console in Japan, after PS3 games will show their glory, PS3 sales will skyrocket. =]

In my opinion, the PS3 will never beat the Wii in Japan.

 

What say you, sir? 


It`s hard to say. Wii outsell PS3 in Japan after 16 month now only by 3.7 mln., and Wii has casual stuff like Wii sport/Wii play/Wii fit + SMG, SSBB, Zelda and Wii Kart next week. Wii practically had all Big games, while PS3 only HSG5 and GT5P, which is not even full GT game, maybe DMC4. That`s all.

Let`s back to that question after MGS4, GT5, RE5, FFXIII releases, ok? :) Somehow i`m more optimistic on PS3 sales in Japan after these games will be released. Moreover, 40-50k for Wii in Japan i wouldn`t call impressive either. =]

PSP has ONE Monster Hunter. PS3 will have much MORE BIG games - mln. sellers in Japan. =)
