Something else I find funny for those that bang on about Japan still being relevent for HW sales, 360 has sold more HW in the US than the big 3 combined in Japan.

You mean Big2? MS is far from big in Japan, maybe thats the reason Shore, its still a big gap, but hey

That puny Japan... It's just MS' 100million+ not potential buyers sour grapes.

The PS3's worldwide sales equal the the Wii's U.S. sales?

This is impressive. I had no idea that Sony was doing this well.

I don't get what you're trying to say, there's a potential 100 million buyers in Japan?!

Not knowing the exact or approx figure (and we won't know until the gen is over), I used the total population figure instead, for the pun's sake it was even better

Me either. Great job Sony! Goooo PS3!



how do the software figures compare?



wow even without wii sports and wii play the wii has more software sold



I may be wrong but hasn't wii's Americas sales been greater than PS3's global sale for same time and the PS3 has actually, in a sense, caught up?

I mean, PS3 sold 171k (ww) and wii sold 170k (Americas) for the week ending 6 Feb. Not the greatest example actually, anyone know what previous weeks were like?

btw i'm not trying to aggravate or mitigate any argument above ... just a though

haha yeah that's why Wii has already topped 360 in America for number of third party games (units) sold, and it did that worldwide over a year before that, even with 360's crazy attach rate and coming out a year sooner. You see explosive sales on PS3 and 360 but the steady racer finishes first, plus that all leads to the danger that if you make an expensive game and it doesn't sell crazy high numbers early it probably won't and studios close down sadly.

Not trying to get all off topic, lol, just my traing of thought right now.
