Forums - Sales - Sony is doing great at Japan, but Europe and America sales are sad.

You have it in the reverse order.

Sony sold ~25 million PS2s last gen, and 3 million this gen in Japan. That's a 88% drop.

Compared to a:
83% drop in America
80% drop in Others/Europe.

So yeah, Japan is their worst region. Just because they are #2 doesn't make them have a good position, at all.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

The PS3 is selling on average about 2000 more consodes per week in Japan than it did last year...

BUT it sold less in 2008 than it did in 2007 in the first 4 months of the year in Japan... So it isnt doing so well really. It is doing OK, but console sales as a whole arent great in Japan.

PS3 in Japan

2007 to end of April 418,538
2008 to end of April 385,431
2009 to end of April 469,385 up about 10% on 2007

360 in Japan

2007 to end of April 94,869
2008 to end of April 59,623 !!!
2009 to end of April 171,012 up by almost 100% on 2007 and 189% on 2008

Wii in Japan

2007 to end of April 1,308,189
2008 to end of April 1,255,487
2009 to end of April 478,047 huge drop.

 

 PS3 sales are on the rise in Japan. Wii is declining in Japan. Following the trend of previous generations Nintendo consoles start off well in Japan but fade away in later years.

If ur talking about previous generations. How is the PS3 doing against the PS2? Stop trolling
