Can we stop it with Japan is dead please..

PS2 sold what? 25 millions? after 10 years!

PS3 Wii = 17 millions  (18 millions if we included the the 360) after 4 years!

Wii will get a price cut eventually, the ps3 will get at least 2. I expect to give 360 a considerable boost but it needs time and a price cut is very possible.

geez...

Well, you forgot Gamecube, :P. That makes 27m for last generation.

This generation, very optimistically, Wii will be at 15m, PS3 at 10m and 360 at 2m; 27m.

For an industry as young as videogaming, stunned growth is fatal. Handhelds seem to be doing well on the other hand.

GT5 sold out in Japan??? I know the first shippment was 550k and it sold it already... but I guess the second shippment was done some weeks ago.

I wonder if Wii will top GBA sales in Japan ( 15M). it will be at 11.4M in Jan.

For an industry as young as videogaming, stunned growth is fatal. Handhelds seem to be doing well on the other hand.

Japan has just recently emerged from a recession that is considered the worst in the country since WWII and it's expected to sink again in 2011. Developers can't afford putting out constant valuable games on consoles that sell only to one region (Japanese games appeal to Japan only, mosty) . Localization is worth it anymore thanks to the strong yen. Handhelds software support is expected in this case and Handhelds ARE part of the gaming industry so it's not really dying. It's easier for western companies to support home consoles because their games appeal to 2 much bigger markets at least.

Despite all that, Wii HD are on their way to outsell the ps2. As I said, ps3 is no where near its lowest price (nor the wii or the 360 for that matter) , there IS room for more growth.
