0k ? wow now that is one pathetic thing to celebrate, I mean 40k??? in Japan? that's like drop in the ocean.

Very well atleast it have you keep going.

So I guess it doesn't matter that PS3 have had what? 4-5 major released while Nintendo have had none.....

Monster Hunter.

Plus, look at the sales this time last year in Japan, and take a look now... what a difference a year can make.

A old port game that have already been out for years?? what a difference a few games can do.

Last year? Ohh let's see Wii Fit(late2007) Mario Kart Wii, Super smash Bros Brawl

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

It's not Sony's fault that Nintendo didn't release anything worthwhile in the last half year or so.

That is no reason to undermine Sony's accomplishment. What caused them to win the last 3 months is exactly what you should want as a gamer, major releases.

This has much more to do with the Wii not selling, than the PS3 selling better this year.

Wii down 62% this year.
PS3 up 22%.

It is shocking how much lower Wii sales are this year. Although, they did have SSBB and Mario Kart Wii last spring to push hardware sales.

Congrats PS3. Although I must say it is like sprinting past a runner who has suffered a sprained ankle haha. Not like they've done much to obtain it, but more like the other who has seen everything lost.

Anyways though, Sony has a chance to really push the point in Japan however they don't seem to want to take advantage of the opportunity. 40,000 more units sold this month over Wii is a start, but compared to the lead Wii pushed on it over the last 2 years makes it seem like child's play. Sony needs to continue this progress in the market while Wii is down and hope that they can keep it down and push themselves up. Unfortunately, I see nothing in the Sony camp as of now really trying to further this.

But still congrats on second month straight.

Just because the lead runner got a sprained ankle doesn't mean he is guaranteed to come back with a 100% recovery.
