Prices

PS3 39,980yen

Wii only 25,000yen

Look at the price difference WOW

I think it can do it if it can it will be the 1st time the ps3 achieves this feat, it will also get my prediction of PS3>Wii 10 times in Japan in 09 one more step closer to coming true 9 down 1 more to go and we still havent had the anticipated PS3 price cut   I honestly didnt think it would last this long i really thought it would only outsell the Wii 2-3 weeks in a row things really have changed for the PS3 in japan lately.

If it does do it i'll throw a big PS3>Wii in Japan 9 times in a row party

I think it wil be 24,738 for the wii ans 26,139 for the ps3  This maybe the last time PS3 can do it for awhile

Wii should be able to take it as PS3's boost was a one and done thing because it wasn't even something that dealed with a game. Just a little special that a few took advantage of. Thus it will come down pretty hard. While Wii should get a boost as some of the Monster Hunter fanbase jumps over to Wii.

So it'll probably still be pretty close but I think Wii had an edge this week. But once again like most of those victories PS3 has had, they've been so negligible that it was probably a tie given ratio of error. It might be something similar this week for whoever "wins".

It's possible as above it will be very close. wii by a nose

try telling that to all the people that have been at my partys u will instantly be calleda party pooper

wen re5 came out it achieved 40k sales then went down to 28k so i dont think this week the ps3 will go further down than that

how hard down do u think the ps3 will go this week

I also think it will outsell Wii this and the next week. we have to wait for 2 days though

Well no offense but RE5 was a game... this was demo of a game.  You can sustain a boost longer with something more concrete as a game rather than a demo of one.  It was a large boost based on a quick special edition driven by a demo of a popular game.  Meaning it's a one and done kind of thing. 

Thus I'm expecting the PS3 to fall in the 25k-30k range.  A stark fall from it's 60k sales of last week.  I'm expecting Wii to rise into the 25k-30k range.  That's why I think they might be so close that the differences will be negligible.

Well try telling what I say to someone who doesn't have an agenda and it'll fly over well.  That's all you need to know.  I could be wrong or I could be right.  Just how it goes with sales predictions.  I just like to reenforce my predictions with a little logic and data in hopes of getting an accurate prediction.  But once again that's still all it is.  For all we know PS3 could increase in sales, although highly unlikely.  No way to accurately predict the buying habits of people.

PS3 will edge the Wii by 1000 units and make it 9 in a row.

this week are gonna be real exciting...PS3 are strong now in Japan but Wii got Monster Hunter release...lets wait and see!

Close... very close.

But id give it to Wii, by about 1000 consoles.

Even though I said in last weeks thread that the PS3 would not beat the Wii this week, I will reverse my thinking. The PS3 will top the Wii for 9 straight weeks in a row
