What's the big deal of PS3 not selling in Japan "AT THIS MOMENT"? As long as it's selling in NA and PAL, PS3 is doing OK.

The majority of Japanese/Asian gamers don't like "RACING" "SHOOTING" and "SPORT" games and that's all we have for PS3 right now. Why would they want to put away their PS2 and buy a PS3? Sooner or later, we will see Japanese developers pump out more games for PS3. Just give them more time.

Sit back and watch the weekly data, don't make comments that may come back and bite you later. Remember PSP?

yes, that is the problem... people do remember the PSP. PS3 is starting to look like the PSP WW, good HW, poor HW sales. Everyweek the Wii outsells the PS3 WW even when there has not been a major release in several weeks, and the PS3 has had a couple. 1 game has saved the PSP in japan from becoming a pure MM device. MHP.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

 That just prooves how strong a game can be . If MHP managed to save the PSP , think about what will FFXIII do for the PS3 ...

Talk about a gaming device only play certain games.......

Halo, SSBB, MGS4, Nintendogs

All the consoles/handhelds are the same.
