Slimline PS3 needs to come out this year.

Simply awful. The 360's sales are hilariously low, almost to the point that I bet it is costing more money for retail space than they are actually bringing in, but I dont know how these things work.

Wow, I didn't realize that until just now.

You can't compare sales in others and america with Japan, it's a smaller market.

On top of that, the Wii is beating the DS this week, and the PSP is admittedly so high because it just had a monster hunter game come out, and has recently released a slim model and new colors all of which have contributed to its recent boom.

Are you saying that for this time of year, 50k sales are bad HW numbers for a console?

Also, are you saying that the Wii's software sales suck in Japan.

Cause if you want to simply say "all home consoles suck" you have to look at software sales also. 

wow, i just say that and laughed, poor ps3 sales

I'm locking this -- not because there haven't been some constructive posts in here (thanks Akuma for keeping it clean), but because we should never start threads with titles like "PS3 sales in Japan this week: ewwwww."

I'm proud that so few people took the bait.
