According to Neogaf it means that the store will stop selling PS2, PS3 and PSP. I don't know if it is true, or if the store has anything to do with gaiming.


Yes, but the question is why? Out of stock or  there is no interest. PS4 claims it's because of poor sale. OriGin said it's due stock.


ahh you meant like that. Their is no info on that post about why. I personally think that bad sales combined with bad profit margin for the store compared to space. I do think that the store isn't a full blown gaiming store.

So there is no info about reason of this termination? (out of stock etc..)


It is said that this group concluded that PS3 causes the increses of red figure. And it is said that red figure of shops sell PS3 is bigger than them don't sell PS3...

From this, it is a only rumor.

Finally, they decide to stop selling PS3. But there is something prevents to stop selling only PS3, so
 they decide to stop selling also PS2 and PSP.



If you need something about Japanese market from the perspective of Japanese, please contact me.

So if I understood correctly, a shop decided to ditch the PS3 even if it meant that they couldn't sell the PS2 and PSP anymore? :O

Once again thanks y-koron! It is almost like clockwork that you post this the same time every week. How do you get this information? Doesn't Famitsu release on Thursday? It's only 11pm on Wednesday in Japan at the moment is it not?

 EnterBrain (publisher of Famitsu) released the charts data about 10~11pm(JST) on wednesday on their site. And almost same time, they send the numbers to some customers buying their data. So, some people leaked them on Internet (Probably, Enterbrain doesn't forbid to use data for not commercial use).

My post is based on it.
