Seriously... people have got to start doubting the long term 'greatness' of the PS3 in Japan. I don't know if it's possible to take a drastic shift any more... i don't know how often people compare the sales curves of consoles in Japan, but I do it all the time, and the PS3 is almost about to be one of the worst curves that has ever happened... that is BAD. Do you think that this can turn around? Will the release of big games just be little 'blips' in sales?
The PS3 needs something to drastically change the buying curve, it needs to be lifted out of a rut, titles that lift sales for 3 weeks slightly then drop back down aren't good enough. The console needs to sell over 30k a week to even start to build any kind of respectable base... i mean it hasn't even hit 1 million base yet. There are WAY more than 1 million otaku in Japan so why aren't even the Otaku buying it?
I have a few friends in Japan, on the radio these days the comedians even bag the console out because it's got fantastic graphics but the games just suck.
