I wonder if anyone else is familiar with the concept of canceling out. The added functionality in the PS3 cancels out the early launch for the 360. Sony decided to start late so they could use their console as a market penetration tool for both format and CPU technologies. Microsoft launched sooner to gain market dominance. This mindset that Sony is getting mugged is fabricated bullshit.

For anyone talking this point they should also make the following statements. Had the 360 launched later it would have had a better reliability, and had the PS3 launched sooner it would have had half the functionality. All things are equal to obtain one thing you must sacrifice another. Whether the sacrifice was worth it is another matter entirely.

Speaking to why where something sells matter. Yes where something sells matters a great deal, because different markets are worth more. Japan is a market that is becoming increasingly marginalized, and long term prospects for console success are to be found in North America and Europe. Success in Japan is becoming less a plum, and more a prune. Success in North America or Europe are worth far more then success in Japan. They will pay out more in the long run.

Many Japanese developers have been very bullish on this point. They view being too successful in Japan as compared to being less successful in North America as a loss.

I hope everyone read this....an intelligent post!

I agree with the "it sold more because of japan and japan doesn't count" is just plain laughable.

"Such and Such game only sold better on PS3 because of Japan, so im my opinion it doesnt countszor!"

I keep hearing this Rediculous Argument...Is it True?  In a sense yes it helps...But the fact that the Games always sell more in the USA on the PS3 in the first place...pretty much make this point Null.

 

*Smack Forehead*

Why does that point matter at all? really? i mean c'mon!  The same thing can be Said about 360 software sales in the USA...on a much larger Scale.

For having 8 MILLION+ more consoles worldwide and a year head start...It amazes me the PS3 is Keeping Pace and Surpassing 360 sales lately.

Therefore, the Japan Argument and my Grammar...Are hereby MMOF... Massively Multiplayer Online Fail.

That's happened no more than five times (if that) in two and a half years...

Random thread is random.

This is not the G4tv forum mate. No offense but most other sites only look at the NPD numbers and perhaps wordwide shipping data. VGC looks at a variety of sales data, including GFK, Media create, Famitsu and of course their own analysis.
