It cracks me up how some people take video gaming so seriously. It's as if they are fans of a sports team but instead they are fans of a video game company. Grow up. Different people like different types of games. You aren't going to persuade them otherwise lol

Maybe you should laugh and cry.  Laugh about the 30k and then cry after you realize that it's been outsold 49m to 21m. 

The PS3 outsold the Wii by 30k after some really big releases... when the Wii hasn't had any really big releases in months. It's not exactly surprising or news.... and it's not likely to be sustainable either.

 

      Well, let's take a look at how big those releases were.   Yakuza is a B grade series on the Playstation in terms of popularity.  So, I would definitely buy Yakuza 3, Kenshan!, and especially Shenmue 3 (another game that could be coming exclusively to the PS3 if Suzuki works with the Yakuza team on it), but it's not by any stretch of the imagination even one of the biggest frachises in Playstation or video game history like Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo. 

     RE5, yeah RE, is a huge series.  But this game was multiconsole (still the PS3 version sold multiple times what the 360 version did in Japan).  However, if you look at sales for post-PS1 Resident Evil games, you'll see that none of them have sold that well in Japan (Code Veronica on Dreamcast sold 0.47 million copies in Japan, the Wii, PS2, and GC combined have only sold 0.81 copies of RE4, and Resident Evil 5 on the PS3 has already sold half that number there RE5 PS3 = 0.43).

And White Knight Chronicles was just an average rpg from a company whose games have yet to sell as many copies as Square Enix games and it only received average reviews in Famitsu (while FFXIII will probably get a perfect score), yet it has managed to sell almost twice as many copies of almost all jrpgs released on the 360 over there.  It even sold 140,000 copies more than Square's Star Ocean which is in an established franchise.

     So, I would say that these games are in no way the same type size of releases that Gran Turismo and two Final Fantasy titles are (the demo of Gran Turismo 5 sold .67 million copies in Japan last year, so you can expect twice as many sales for the full game).  Series which have never failed to sell well in excess of a million copies in Japan no matter what system they were on.

Hm, afraid I'm gonna have to agree with Khuutra. Laters.

This post pretty much sums up the entire thread.

 

I don't like the colour of those bricks!

 

Perhaps banging your head against it after reading this thread will help change the colour??

If people answer you things like that it's because they were so many people who said desperate things like : Lair, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Grand Theft Auto IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, HOME, Killzone 2 will save the PS3 and now you are continuing with GT5 and FFXIII.

You just have to accept the fact that PS3 won't do a comeback this gen.

 

      If it is beating the most popular console in the world 5 weeks in a row in their home country with games like RE5, Yakuza 3, and White Knight Chronicles when it costs $150.00 more.  There's every reason to believe that a $300.00 PS3 (which would cost only $50.00 more) with games like Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy that always sell millions of copies in Japan, would do even better.

 

 

 The reason why the PS3 is outselling the Wii in Japan right now is quite simple. PS3 launched their blockbusters while the Wii doesnt released anything since a couple of months. Now the most funny thing here is that Sony just oustold the Wii by a mere couple of thousands units. When MH3 will be release, the Wii will outsell the PS3 by at least 5 times its sales.

 People here really like to say all the things they said in 2007.

 

Did you missed Q4 2007, Q1 2008 Q2 2008, Q3 2008? Tha period shows that any console can do a come back like 360 did in Q4 2008

I don't think so because Wii is still #1, X360 is still #2 and PS3 is still #3.

Yeah, but the PSP might be going to pull a 360 Final Fantasy XIII in the West strike on that as another Monster Hunter game that could be Monster Hunter 3 is slated to be coming to PSP.

What are you talking about? That doesnt make sense at all. What is the link between FFXIII (X360) and the PSP??? Also MH3 was announced as Wii exclusive.
