if nintendo doesn't take japan, sony may

At this point, Japan matters more as a center for development imo.  The industry itself is still big, but it's shrinking due to Japan's birthrate crisis.  And for consoles it's pretty much purely secondary, handhelds have taken over in every sense. That said, there's pretty much no way PS3 will ever exceed Wii's lifetime sales in the region.

I do think PS3 (and 360) will weather 3DS better than Wii does though.  Better luck with Wii 2 Nintendo...

the way it is going PS3 could outsell Wii


You mean for the year I would assume? Yeah, I'd say it has a shot at it. Japan is the region where Move is the biggest wildcard to potentially steal Wii's sales and I'd say it also depends on how many blue GT5 bundles Sony makes. They'll probably make a statement about that in the near future since they said how many GT5:P and Lightning bundles were produced (200k each).

1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Consider your pro HD bias exposed!

Out of curiosity why do you think that?

lol!

Because why make Wii games when you can make 3DS games?

That comment makes no sense. Why make PS3 games in Japan when you can make PSP games instead. It has a larger fanbase.

Because the gap in graphics power between PSP and PS3 is way larger than the gap between Wii and 3DS

At least thats what I think Jarrod meant.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I'm confused? Are you saying that you think he meant that since the Wii and 3Ds are close graphically that a developer should chose to develop for the 3DS instead of the Wii?



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

More or less.  The resources to make a 3DS game versus a Wii game are about even, while generally a PSP game is dramatically cheaper to make than a PS3 game.

the way it is going PS3 could outsell Wii

The way it's going?  They're basically even ytd, and Wii has a 5m lead.  Let us know when you get back to reality...
