Leaked numbers..
Hokuto doing Yakuza 4 like numbers.. so it should do around 550 - 600k, which is wot is expected of Yakuza 4 also.
NSMB Wii still doing strong numbers

Are this numbers from Famitsu or MC??? Because for Famitsu Yakuza sold more than Dead or Alive Paradise.

Don't forget that PS3 has had, what two price drops in Japan to get to this level? The Wii baseline is partially based on the 20,000 Yen price point.

Don't forget a major redesign/rebranding, multiple colors and hardware bundles for like every semi-big game.  Wii and 360 have done the latter two as well, but not near to the same degree.  Sony really does EVERYTHING they can to get the collectors to keep dipping...

Don't forget the fact the Wii is $100 cheaper than the PS3 in japan

True, but Japan's also the least historically price sensitive territory.  PS2 sold dramatically better at comparable and higher pricepoints than PS3 has, and that gets even more aggravated when you adjust for inflation.  DS has far outpaced GBA at higher pricepoints too, same for Wii and GameCube.

Price hasn't been PS3's issue in Japan for the most part, it's was more a debilitating factor in the west.


yes this is so true.  For those of us that pay close attention to Japan we know it is not nearly as price sensitive as the west.  It is all about games, how else would the saturn outsell the n64 and go head to head with ps1 for so long?  It was 40000 yen, that's a lot more than the ps3 now and if you adjust for inflation it is pretty insanely expensive really.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

PS3 still it's more expensive abit alot.

it's not the number of price cuts, but base price that command sales.
