Wow 360 numbers are amazing compared to the PS3. Looks like Sony's last strong hold is not so strong any more.

I'm confused. Are there only 2 console makers out there? Japan hasn't been Sony's stronghold since like...2005 or so.

I am talking about HD consoles and the battle for second place. SONY vs MS. In the beginning with the PS2. SONY had dominance in every region. Then when the PS3 released they lost NA. Now they are losing Europe, lost Others and not even dominating Japan

Yeah, it's not dominating at all,  it only has more than 3 times the install base


Japan...

PS2 40:1 XBOX

PS3 3:1 360

yeah PS3 has really picked up that baton and run with it......

So, wait. Because Sony is dominating Microsoft in Japan less than last generation, that means they're not dominating them still?

You guys are in a losing argument.

Kowenicki always looks for some form of way to make the ps3 look bad next to the 360.

 

I dont know why, but thats what 90% of his posts consist of..

I ,more or less, agree with the above statement.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Wii sales are going to be so insane when that Black, bundle Wii comes out in Japan...



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Wii sales are really bad. The only positive is that Nintendo hasn't done anything to improve them yet... no price cuts, bundles, colors and not much software lately.

The PS3 despite all of Sony's measures isn't selling well either. Another price cut is in order, plus GT5 and FF13.

The 360 is not doing bad compared to its past numbers... of course that's much easier for the 360 to do than the other two consoles.

you can't deny that the Xbox360 did a great jump compared to last gen and even the years before.

Wonder if we will see a little boost when we see some JRPGs. A Blue Dragon 2, Magna Carta 2, Lost Odyssey 2, tokio vikings-stuff or a Ninety Nine Nights 2 would help...

The 1 million-mark is a great success anyway.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

bad sales for all, but the worse case is the Wii, it will be hard to reach 100m without Japan, but the best is still coming for Japanese...



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
