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. =)

Although I know it's plain useless to debate with you I'll try one more time:

a) PS3 has seen the release of games that were in the top of PS2 selling list (Winning Eleven, Dynasty Warriors and Minna no Golf are good for 8 of the top 20 PS2 games) and it has done close to nothing for PS3. I didn't even talk about GT5P, because if we count that as a GT game, it will mean that 1/2 of the series in the top 20 PS2 have seen a release in Japan. The #1 on that list will come to DS.

 I seem to remember in the wake of those games the PS3 started outselling the Wii did it not? Thats the problem with the PS3, these releases arent regular enough. The PS2 got wave after wave of what we'd consider rubbish games that the japanese eat up. One of the problems is that the japanese have not taken to the PSN store as sony has come out and said, and the PSN store is obviously the best outlet for these cheap games because disc versions are more expensive.

Sony needs to find some small developers, fund their asses, and get them to release some serious party and casual games that they can throw out every 2 weeks or so.
