You mean like the 1/3 of 360 launch that sat on shelves in Japan? You can thank that for the hardware shortage and maybe ask them WTF they were thinking sending that many there when the US was then in shortage for months.
I just want to ask why everybody drags up xbox360 vs PS3 in Japan, when it is Wii that beats ps3 in Japan? You could compare PS3 with xbox360 in USA. Since launch of the PS3, the xbox360 is beating the PS3. The xbox360 launch was really really bad, but does it matter when the total lead know is over 4 million and in januari, without any supply constrains for either xbox360 and PS3, the xbox360 were above PS3? Both were beaten by Wii and PS2.
The truth so far is that everybody should realise that Xbox360 or any other american consols never have been huge in Japan. Atari failed and now microsoft is failing. So stop using the xbox360 to compare PS3. It doesn't matter if ps3 beats xbox360 4 to one in Japan when Wii beats ps3 with 3 to 1 in sales.
EDIT: I have seen one (1) Wii that is availible in Sweden, and that was an expensive bundle. BUT I do think we get pretty bad shippment
I wasn't comparing their sales in Japan. Show me where I said that. I was attacking M$ notion that they would be able to sell 1/3 of their whole launch stock in Japan rather than giving it to gamers in the US and Europe who would have actually bought the console.
I said, ask them why they did that like a bunch of morons.
