Forums - Sales - Slow sales of PS3 in Japan!

Soul_tech10 on 16 March 2009

I don't mean now, but tell me if this is normal, this time last year the PS3 hit 2 million in Japan (Week ending 15th march '08) and most probably on this week incoming (15th march '09) the PS3 will ht 3 million

Now 1 year to sell 1 million, well it's better than the 360 that took 3.5 years to sell 1 measly million, I bet you anything that Microsoft will come out of the shadows and start bragging on about it and saying that it's the best selling console in the history of Japan.

Thoughts?

He is telling you to edit that bolded bit because it is a stupid sentence and clearly flamebait.

I would take out the bit I highlighted in blue if I were you, the rest is ok.

not sure how your argument is related to your title



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

The difference between Japan and the US is that the US is not loyal to local brands, i mean, since the crash, only Japan has had the lead in consoles, and even when Microsoft launched the Xbox, the PS2 outsold it by a lot and the Gamecube was not far behind, and now the Wii is the best-selling console this generation, and had the PS3 launched at a good price and a strong line-up (specially a good price), we'd be talking about a different situation in the US right now...360 is the leading HD console in the US because MS played the cards right, not American loyalty...
