Hmm... is that right? That's incredible.

I don't expect GoW3, Uncharted 2, or Ratchet and Clank to move HW at all...Just sell decently...

nice avatar PS3beats360, ive seen other users with similar ones.

anyway, the PS3 is not building up momentum outside of Japan, look at the numbers, 360>PS3 atm, PS3 needs a pricecut to have even a faint hope of catching the 360 WW

the PS3 will allways out sell the 360 in japan.
japan dont even count any more.
on a good month here in america the 360 out sells the PS3 here and in japan
put together lol but as long as the console is 400 dollars uncharted and the other
 wont push mnay consoles

Best has yet to come, mofo is still 400 and the big uns have yet to release.

299 cut just before ww GT5 release, 360 death right there. If they only had the chops to do it.

Everyone needs a dream... just like the guy who said PC was going to retake the gaming scene

And with chops you mean money I hope?

I recall that mere weeks ago (right after the "Japan is NOT games" hype) we sort of discarded Japan as a "respectable" salesregion. Hell, the UK alone comes close to the numbers Japan pulls. I would say, let Japan be on it's own. It is fun to see the names the games have there (Super Wakka-Wakka no-tashi huoizy!! or something along the lines) but it is hardly a predictor for world-wide trends

huge sales momentum? PS3 has been constantly outsold all year, it won 1 week because of a FF demo, it was a temporary boost and you know it. PS3 sales are down YOY while wii and 360 are way up and you boast huge sales momentum?

Even if we were to limit the discussion to only Japan it isn't huge sales momentum, sales are up a meager 20% in Japan YOY and while it's good that sales are up the numbers are still quite small in the overall picture. When it's not getting boosted by big games it is selling 15-20k, that's not huge sales momentum at all it only looks good because wii sales are way down.

 everyone needs a dream

I do agree with you that it's entirely unlikely, but I there is a possibility of the Wii and PS3 at least tying in units sold.

here's my reasoning:

for convenience, lets say the PS3 and Wii launched at the same time.

If the Wii's sales were to fall by the same margin that the PS3's were to grow, then they could be matched in the future.

Basically, If the wiil sold 5 the first year, 4 the next, 3 this year 2 next year and 1 the year after and the PS3 sold 1 the first year, 2 the next, 3 this year, 4 next year and 5 the year after the sales would be tied.

i.e  Wii=5+4+3+2+1 = 1+2+3+4+5=PS3

Highly unlikely to happen though, and it flies in the face of all known sales numbers and trends in Japan but definately possible if the Wii starts selling like the PS3 did and the PS3 were to sell as well as the Wii has done.
