No, this thread is about Japans weekly sales, and a comment about being won by sony, which is true. But I pointed out that next week MK will be the top seller, therfore breaking this trend of Playstation brand games on the top.

Cause the article makes the PS brand appear to be dominating but doesnt make any reference to Nintendo who just doesnt appear there, but then the 20 games that follow are all on Nintendos consoles, so pretty bad and deceiving article that only fanboys will defend.

Thread title: JAPAN: PS3 PASSES 2 MILLION, PSP SELLING LIKE HOTCAKES

Where does it mention the Wii or Mario Kart Wii?

Original Post:

According to the latest Japanese video game data from Media Create for the week ended April 6, the PlayStation 3 sold another 11,303 units, which finally brings the installed base across the Pacific to more than two million. In terms of weekly sales, Sony's PSP has really taken off, selling close to 121,000 units – more than double Nintendo's DS Lite for the period.

Sales for the PSP were primarily driven by Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, which sold over 488K copies during the week and recently passed 1.5 million units shipped in the region. The Monster Hunter franchise has 6.8 million units so far.

Here's how the data for the week shakes out:

Hardware

PSP - 120,964
DS - 55,190
Wii - 44,618
PlayStation 3 - 11,303
PlayStation 2 - 10,423
Xbox 360 – 1,452

Software

1. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G - PSP - Capcom - 488, 208
2. Warriors Orochi: The Evil King Returns - PS2 - Koei - 227,535
3. Star Ocean 2: Second Evolution - PSP - Square Enix - 90,861
4. Pro Baseball Spirits 5 - PS2 - Konami - 80,222
5. Pro Baseball Spirits 5 - PS3 - Konami - 60,215

Where does this mention the Wii or Mario Kart Wii?

Why are numbers for the week inside then? also selling like hotcakes in the last weeks, so if I comment on something inside the original post, theres nothing wrong about it.

In fantasy land, that is.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

Or maybe you just don't want to admit that you're wrong?

And thanks for contratulating PSP and PS3, they deserve it!

trestres stop trolling this thread.

"Sony's momentum appears to be on the rise in Japan as the top five selling games of the last week were all on PlayStation platforms and the PSP led the pack."

This sounds like "SONY DOMINATION HAS BEGUN"

That is a blatant lie, anyone calling me a troll for not believing that shit is 100% wrong. It doesnt matter if its on sony forum, I can comment on anything I want. Let them ban me if not, I'm awaiting a ban.

And Wii is mentioned in the OT, in the weekly sales.

Well I gave the chance to Sony fans to jump on me because I disagreed with the content of this thread.

If you think that Either of the two quotes you mentioned sound alike, you may need to get your hearing checked out.  

And also, Sony Fans didn't jump on you, people who know the definition of trolling did.
