Well we all know how the Ps3 is doing in Japan right

So I've been doing loads of research and Hardware comparison graphs recently......then I came accross pocketstation, apparently a SONY Handheld( ??).

When I saw it sold 5 million I thought.....right lets see how the HArdware from launch comparison lines up.....shocking to say the least.

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PockSt&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=Japan&weeks=156

Now as we can see PS3 is trending BELOW Pocketstation by around exactly 2 Million at this point......WW 2 million aint big but in Japan its HUGE!

Now this is a weekly comparison from launch:

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PockSt&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=Japan&weeks=156&weekly=1

So PS3 was outsold HEAVILY for its first year....& now it will be  many more weeks in which PS3 will still be outsold by it..thenPOcketstation drops off.

I feel it will leave PS3 around 2.5 million behind......will PS3 be able to catch up keeping in mind YOY trends are DOWN in Japan?

 


 The second place console in Japan usually sells around 5 million units or so. So more than likely the PS3 will pass the Pocketstation. It will take a while though.
