Let's just hope the whole Japanese economy recover fast from the tragedy, it won't bring the dead back, but the living need it.

PS3 will be the best selling game console in 2011, 3DS won't be even touching PS3 with the anticipated PS3 pricecut later this year


*laughs maniacally*

I love to see hope.

3DS is already freaking ahead of the PS3 in one freaking day versus two freaking months. The PS3 will be millions behind the 3DS.

Yeah, it's almost laughable.  Lets pull a tres and compare some "big" future titles (but let's be reasonable and say 500k or more sellers :P)...

 

PlayStation 3

 

  • Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix)
  • Final Fantasy Versus XIII (Square Enix)
  • Metal Gear Solid Rising (Konami)
  • Ninokuni: The Queen of White Sacred Ash (Level 5) *maybe
  • Tales of Xillia (Namco) *maybe
  • Yakuza: Of the End (Sega)

 

Nintendo 3DS

 

  • Animal Crossing (Nintendo)
  • Dragon Quest (Square Enix) *maybe, depending on what it is
  • Fantasy Life (Level 5) *maybe
  • Final Fantasy (Square Enix) *maybe, depending on what it is
  • Inazuma Eleven Go (Level 5)
  • Kid Icarus: Uprising (Nintendo) *maybe
  • Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (Square Enix)
  • Mario Kart (Nintendo)
  • Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (Konami)
  • Paper Mario (Nintendo)
  • Pilotwings Resort (Nintendo) *maybe
  • Pokemon (Pokemon Co.) *maybe, depending on what it is
  • Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright (Level 5)
  • Resident Evil: Revelations (Capcom) *maybe
  • Super Mario (Nintendo)
  • Super Robot Taisen 3D (Bandai) *maybe, depending on what it is
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Nintendo) *maybe
  • Time Travelers (Level 5) *maybe

 


From the sound of best seeling console of 2011 being PS3 you can be wrong in 2 points in shunning him...

3DS isn't a console for some but a handheld and he can be talking about WW... so in both cases he could be right


1) This thread is about Japan, not worldwide.

2) Handhelds have effectively replaced home consoles in Japan.  The successor to PS2 was DS, and next cycle it's going to be 3DS (or NGP).
