Japan looks really pathetic in this picture when it comes to PS3 sales Basically in Europe the PS3 is selling better than the PS2 did... good... Now I wish the same for Japan as well.

By the way, you can all call out to Crazzy man like he's the only dedicated fanboy around here, but the ones responding and calling Crazzyman "crazy" to believe the PS3 will succeed, is the same believing the WII will keep on smashing the competition and will sell 2 times more than the PS2

With other words saying, you're never crazy to believe in something to happen... all before you know it... it might happen.

^Wow no surprises here the PS2 is beating the PS3. Take into consideration the PS2 had no competition back in 2001 and the video game industry was not as big as it is today.

Thats three bad weeks in a row.



@Neos, oh yeah, like the difference now after 14 weeks around 1-2 mln. =)
No? :P

@*~Onna76~*, PS3 needs more Japan oriented games. And looks like for now nothing good is coming till MGS4, except Valkyrie the battlefield wich probably won`t have very big sales. I wonder where is Eternal Sonata..
Basically soon PS3 will get GTA4, MGS4 - TWO big games, which PS2 didn`t have during that time, well maybe except Onimusha, which probably moved some PS2 in Japan and USA. =)
Also GT5P had GREAT debute in Europe, and probably will have some good sales in USA.

@Rock_on_2008, well yeah, PS2 had Onimusha during that time + no competiros + lower price. But PS3 soon will have some BIG guns, which should bring some high sales. =)

Well wasn't the DC at least some (albeit minor) competition? ;-p


starcraft: "I and every PS3 fanboy alive are waiting for Versus more than FFXIII.
Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

wow the ps2 was really pulling steady sales in USA, almost 120k+ every week. I believe that was the time when the shortage in america was over (so the comparison is actually just fair now).

Yeah, that's what I keep on saying as well. Japan need games! I don't expect major sales of Valkyrie Chronicles either but I do hope it will surprise, so more devs will come up with RPG games in Japan, because that drought ... is insane. I also wonder where the heck Eternal Sonata has gone to... This game is high on my list and I'm waiting full of anticipation for this game, but still no darn release date I've got the feeling sometimes the devs in Japan are killing the PS3 sales... deliberate.
