PS3 ahead of Wii in Japan for 10 weeks already. Go Go PS3! =)

Considering the price, Wii is doing horrible.
PS3 is doing ok. =)

@leo-j, Star Ocean 4 release, RE5 bundle and New Arcade model in Japan helped to achieve that, BUT not sure, what will help to continue this trend.
Though, PS2 already 9 years on Japan market. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

The PS3's had good games...and it got good boosts. But now it's back to Wii levels (which has gotten absolutely nothing big). And now the difference between them is...1k? Wow.

I see this is going nowhere, so I'm just gonna drop this argument.

Well so long as we're satisfied walking in circles, let's go back to my post just a couple posts before where I showed that even with a PS3 launch and no big Wii games, the Wii could still outsell the PS3 5:1. And you're treating the PS3 outselling the Wii as if somehow it's a normal occurrence that we should come to expect just because a couple big games launched. Is this the same Wii that we say in 2007, or even 2008? No, it's selling terribly.

And the real reason you dropped the argument is because you weren't winning it. I hate to be a jerk about this, but you wouldn't admit to it and I have to drive the point down hard.

A thread with some Crazzy(ness) is a good thread!

But it isn't a normal occurrence. I'm just saying you guys are making a big deal (even going out of your way to make "Wii is doomed" threads) over little difference in k. Yeah, the PS3 is doing better, but if it's only doing barely better than the Wii it's hardly a threat in any way.

Ha, I don't back down from arguments if I'm losing. If I'm wrong, I admit I'm wrong (and I've done this before!) But I don't believe I'm wrong. Continue being a jerk...I guess.

I'm dropping it because these circle arguments are retarded and bring nothing in the end.

Bolded: I was actually fine with the response except for this part. Is everything black and white with you? Not everyone who thinks the Wii's sales in Japan are bad belong to some Wii-hating group. And I'm not arguing that the PS3 is a threat to the Wii or will challenge it (the Wii is far ahead in total userbase size), but it's doing horribly year over year and it's doing horribly relative to its competitors (it's supposed to be the market leader).

Rest of the post: Sorry about being a jerk. I try to avoid that, and now I feel bad about doing that.

Peace?

Does anyone actually think that?

I know the PS3 could never pass the Wii in lifetime but they sure have made a interesting third year push!

True, although I really don't expect this PS3>Wii thing to last forever.

The Wii has sat idle long enough.

I'm going on a 360 binge.

No one does. I expect each console to win at least one more week in their lifetimes.

Seriously though, props need to be given for winning 3 months in a row. It's impressive considering the status of the market.

I'm pretty sure this summer's upcoming Wii gams will cure that.

Summer Wii games?

 

The Conduit is all I want. Nothing else is a sure bet, which is a shame.
