So you're saying all the consoles are doomed, despite MH3, FF13, GT5, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros Wii, bundles, new colors and price cuts?

Are you also saying the PSP Go is more important than all those things?

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.

And I agree with the above statement

If PSP Go is all that matters then japan is gone for good.

psp go is a downloadable only hardware and japan is not into online stuff so I really doubt it is going to have a big impact. GT PSP on the other hand may give the PSP a good push. Still Wii and DS have the biggest potential from now because of the new colors, MH3, NSMB, WSR, DQIX, Pokemon and SMW3.

Wow @ the X360. HD gaming is indeed becoming popular in Japan.

@ Kowenicki

But your facts are kinda twisted.
I hate ratios and percentages!
For example, if the original Xbox sold 100 consoles in Japan, and the 360 sold 2M......then your ratios would not make any sense what so ever.
The ratio difference is dependant on many more factors other than the PS3 not selling as well as the PS2
