In other news, Wii hits 8 million consoles sold in Japan.

Henshin a go go baby!

And to think some didn't believe in the power of the FF XIII demo being able to give PS3 hardware a serious boost!

Well done!

*crys we made it sony people

Wow, that was quite the huge boost, considering it was only a demo. If this is what sales look like with a demo, than one can only imagine what they will be when the actual game is released.

I think you mean Sonyians

Now, after new PS3 160GB model with FFXIII demo bundle i wonder, what sales PS3 will have in a long term.
Till now, it could getting lower after SF4, Yakuza 3, RE5 and WO before FFXIII demo(because of those, who wnated that bundle), BUT now, there is nothing(except price cut) in Japan what would stop japanese from getting PS3.

Though, Golden week is ahead, and then.. maybe some big announces on E3..
it`s really interesting for how long PS3 will continue having this momentum and continue outselling Wii for months.

Overall, good PS3 sales.
I`m pretty much sure, that THIS year in Japan PS3 will definitely reach around 5 mln. in sales.
Pretty much, PS3 will reach 4 mln. before FFXIII release, and have over 5 mln. if it will have a pricecut in summer or autumn.
5 mln. userbase is a very good number for FFXIII. =)

YAY!PS3>Xbox 360 this week i guess....man chart looks weird coz ps3 n 360 are so far away!!

O_o PS3 only 10k behind Wii worldwide (without America).

And PS3 still cost 400$/euros. =)
That PRICECUT will really change the things.
The only question, when will they announce it, on E3 or later?
If later, then for Japan it should be definitely on TGS09, if on E3 during summer.. then.. PS3 here we Go!

For a freaking DEMO?

Congrats are in order, but I still don't understand the Japanese.
