That's pretty crazy.

Japan America
39,798 37,807
the falling market it's america after all! =P.
well PSP stayed high on japan since monster hunter debut and the psp have yet to have games released in america that will provide it a big boost.
though patapon 2 it's a month away and many games from square going to release.
Still. Per captia Japan must have absolutely crushed America.
If you divide the sales by the number of Japanese and American citizens avaible.
DS was the same way for a while - took off much faster in Japan than in the USA. Adjusted for population, you would expect the DS to hit 16m-20m in the USA based on its peak year in Japan of 8m, but it just isn't going to happen. Historically, American sales should be 2-3x bigger than Japan sales. That is why Nintendo is a bit spooked on Wii - 15k/week in Japan normally translates to 30k-45k in the USA/Americas. Same goes for Sony - they probably think the PSP should be selling 400,000/month in the United States based on what its doing in Japan. The caveat to that is trends tend to happen in Japan six to eighteen months before they do in the west, and there seems to be less correlation between portables which have much higher penetration in Japan (~39m DS & PSP/130m Japanese folks) than in the USA (~43m DS & PSP/305m Americans).
In the USA consoles have a much higher penetration though this generation than in Japan (12m/130m for Wii/360/PS3 in Japan vs. 42m/305m for the same machines in the USA).

do you mean the ps3 will outsell the wii for 2 months straight in 6 -18months?
I do think the PS3 will make a charge, and it could possibly outsell the wii on a week to week basis. But the wii's lead is so big that even if the ps3 cuts into it, it proabably will never catch it. And I say this as a Nintendo fanboy primarily and a Sony fanboy secondarily.
It will dust the 360 though imo.
thats not praising its japanese sales but obvioulsy demoting its american sales.
PSP in Japan could outsell US+UK+EU combined soon.
PSP dead in UK
