PS3 is doing way better this year than it has for the past two years in japan. I wonder How long it will take for it to reach 4million in japan

 

Really?

Jan to March 21st Japan.

2009  330,231

2008  335,263

2007  347,968

Its actually its worst showing over this period for any year so far..... interesting isnt it...

It only feels better because the Wii has dropped so much.

360 for comparison

Jan to March 21st Japan

2009  136,779 

2008  50,624

2007  78,227

So 2009 > 2008 + 2007

Looking at the PS3 and 360 numbers... its amazing how the mind plays tricks isnt it.. 

 

I think those numbers are a testament to how well both are doing. Sony seems to be posting very steady numbers while Microsoft has improved a lot. I think they should both be proud of these figures. Sony moreso because of the economic situation the world is in and the PS3 price point.

 

I'd rephrase that to "sony moreso because the whatever rise the 360 has gotten hasn't cannibalized the ps3's existence unlike other regions"

Well that's because Japan is all about the games. SW moves hardware in Japan unlike some other regions. Microsofts sales didn't increase until they released a barrage of software that catered to the Japanese. Now that it has subsided they are on the downfall. Also Nintendo hasn't had any big releases that cater to the Japanese either so they are on a slide as well. I think it is possible for the Wii, PS3 and 360 to all post under 20K or even 15K a week simultaneously.

@BOLD: QFT!!!

...You stated earlier in a post about Japan only selling a combined total of 49k home consoles, that is the REAL problem here that unlike other regions home console gaming has shrunk instead of expand.

 



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

only a drop of just under 4000 this week for PS3, less then I thought it would be

28,280 -> 24,846
