@TaurusVGC - nice background graphic in that chart - Wii and DS from the heavens!

Anyways, [copy/paste] Clearly the PS3 had one of its biggest releases and wasn't outsold by as big a margin as usual. But to report the the PS3 is closing the gap is misleading and pretty dumb. It would mean that the PS3 would have a sustained boost, which it hasn't. It's already dropped like a rock after the OMGS4 spike. Rueter's sucks for this one...

The thing I find amazing is that after the two biggest games of the year (worldwide) for the PS3 have been released, Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4, and the PS3 has failed to outperform the Wii there are still people who are predicting the PS3 will have a magical turn-around.

This phrase "catching up" ...

I do not think it means what you think it means ...

Hahahaha. Oh, that made me laugh. Thanks Dolla Dolla. How appropriate.

Are analysts retarded or something? The 1.7:1 margin was due to the huge but momentary MGS4 boost. Now it's only the third week after MGS4 and the Wii is already outselling the PS3 by over 3:1 again in Japan.

he doesnt car he just wanted to take teh check sony was offering for good press
