Do you realise this threadis about Japan and how bad is the PS3 loosing the market against the Wii???


I view the Wii and PS3 as two very distinct platforms, I don't see them directly competing for the long run.

If 3rd parties would suddenly put the bulk of their efforts behind the Wii it could become a problem. But currently however it's mainly just Nintendo and they never supported the Playstation brand well.

I know about your point of view, but is clear how the market is choosing one console, and how some devs are starting to choose it for more games than shovelware, if the Wii wasn't a thread for the PS3 in Japan why the jump of Monster Hunter???Even DQ could end up on the Wii after the DS version... those are big games...

And do I need to remind you how many of those "games" FF, MGS, DMC or RE5 started their dev time before the launch and success of the Wii??

If the devs doesn't port those games are due to several factors, but mostly for the money invested in those dev kids and developers, thats the bigger obstacle for the Wii... if those games were announced and developed after the clear succes of the WIi I would share your point of view, but thats not the case...

 

Edit

@ Loud_Hot_White_Box:

So do you believe that the succes of the Wii has nothing to do with the low sales of the PS3???


 PS3 sales can jump from the factors I listed independently of Wii sales, just like PSP sales jumped from MH/slim even though DS is/was kicking butt.  Maybe Wii sales might be harmed by PS3 successes; likely not by much.
