A few things to consider ... the Wii was only available for one month in 2007, the PS3 was availble for 1.5 months and both systems were in short supply. Beyond that the second half of the year will usually allow for some shiting in market share. My point was the assumption that "Sony owns Japan" is insane considering that Nintendo controls over 66% of the hardware market, software sales on Nintendo systems account for more than 60% of the market, and Nintendo software alone counts for roughly 40% of the market; in Contrast Sony platforms account for (approximately) 25% of the market in terms of hardware, roughly 35% in terms of software sold on platforms, and Sony publishes less than 5% of all software. At this point in time Nintendo is beyond dominant in Japan |
I hope you know my post was all a big fat joke. hence the:. I was merely doing a mock of how people twist and bend numbers to suit there point. Your numbers as I've noticed already pointed to just how much of the Japanese market is owned by Nintendo. It amazes me that not only they have the two best selling systems but they published almost half of the games bought. A figure that I think will rise by year end, when they launch big game after big game. What's also funny is Sony didn't make the top 5 list. People go on about how they have more people developing games then MS and Nintendo and yet they can't even break the top five. At what point do you stop boasting this business blunder. "Yeah we pay 5 times the amount of people and sell 1/5 the games!
