 Go check your above post and carefuly look at those PS3/360 sales numbers you listed.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

 Ya think? The 500k+ JP sales figures for Halo 3 didn't seem odd to you?

@ 500k Wasn't the sales figure for Halo , The table was too big so you might have confused it with something else.I've shortened it so all the irrelevant data is gone.

The hits for the titles were being displayed as the sales.

Ridge Racer was at 3k Halo at 500k etc.

http://www.crn.com/software/210800733 First sentence: "Microsoft Thursday raised its sales forecast of its Xbox 360 video game console in Japan after unseating Sony's PlayStation 3 stranglehold on the gaming market."

Now that's laughable... would people say the Gamecube had a strangehold on the gaming market? The PS3 is tracking right on it in Japan.

PS3 will win Japan bro - believe it.

 

We all know games sell consoles. Look at the Xbox 360 lineups and make your prediction again.

Brand loyalty only goes so far...

Xbox 360 Japan 2008
November - Agarest Senki: Reappearance, The Last Remnant (Timed)
December - Fable II

Xbox 360 Japan 2009
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Ninety-Nine Nights II, Halo 3: Recon, Forza Motorsport 3, Ninja Blade, Cry On

PlayStation 3 Japan 2008
October - SOCOM: Confrontation, LittleBigPlanet
November - Resistance 2, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Way of the Samurai 3, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
December - White Knight Chronicles

PlayStation 3 Japan 2009
Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, The Last Remnant, Yakuza 3, Demon's Souls, Killzone 2, Quantum Theory

I think PS3 wins.

I crossed out titles that won't make the year you listed them in, added a title we are expecting for Xbox 360, and crossed out titles the Japanese have no interest in.  All of a sudden the lists look more even.

Sorry, but those PS3 games you crossed out because "the Japanese have no interest in" will sell a lot more than some of those 360 games you failed to cross out. Why do you think Japan is interested in Halo, but not Resistance?

I meant to cross our Halo not underline it.

Agarest Senki? That will be lucky to sell 10k units. Japan has far more interest in the FPS you crossed out than this game. Also, why cross out Motorstorm, which sold 60k for the previous installment, but leave Forza, which only sold 30k last time?

Damn.

BKK2 pwned Starcraft.  I'll make the changes in the list to reflect what Japan gamers will care about.

Notice that the top selling PS3 games outsell the top games on the XBOX 360 by far ? . Also notice the XBOX 360 is overall superior in terms of games that apeal to the japanese audience . It apears that the PS3 will sell better in terms of hardware and software when games which apeal to the japanese audience are released.


So the PS3 doesn't even need a line up of games that compares equaly or even superior with the 360's line up  , the 360 will get demolished regardless the only factor is by how much.
