If you're interested in anedoctal evidence: * Picture*


nice posting up the setting up of those kiosks. Notice the guy putting the R&C sign up.


The two guys by the TV look like they are setting something up, but the guy by the R&C sign isn't even facing the right direction. Look at his feet and his hand holding what looks to be a phone. Anyways you can see his hand is either contorted behind is back in a freakish way or he isn't facing towards the camera.

PS - Whats up with the chick with a sign?


She advertising herself, prostitutes are plentiful in Japan (I shit you not)

 

Jks.


 Not plentifull, just a high demand for Japanese prostitues.  The porno industry in Japan have more problems to find Japanese girls to be prostitues/porno actrices then finding a wii on its first day of release (when you didn't preorder one).

That is why:

Japanese porno actrises = Get a hell load of money (2000$ for a movie)
Western Porno actrises = Way to less money. ( 300$ for a movie)

So, if I meet a girl who wants to do porn, send her to Japan? Got it.

And Nj5, that is extremely anecdotal. I'm not even sure if that's an anecdote, or worth 20 words.

Though best (Most insane) comment in thread would be the one with ratchet and clank may be a competitor in Japan, with lifetime sales of last game at 220k. So, on a larger install base(Ps2), it's lifetime sales is less than Galaxy's first week sales, and they are supposed to be competitive with a much smaller install base now?



See Ya George.

I have to say I've seen some Japanese specials and I wouldn't do something like this for 5000$. I like Japanese contribution into some porn "genres" though - bukkake especially. Actually the best bukkake stuff comes from Germany - GGG but Japanese started lol

Japan: Verhaltene Nachfrage nach 40GB-PS3 und Dual Shock 3

12.11.07 - Die PS3 mit 40GB Festplatte und das Dual Shock 3-Joypad sind seit dem 11.11.07 in Japan erhältlich. Nach ersten Berichten der Nihon Keizai Shimbun ist die Nachfrage bei beiden Artikeln bislang recht zurückhaltend.

So bildeten sich keine Warteschlangen vor den Geschäften, während sowohl PS3 als auch Dual Shock 3 überall in ausreichender Menge zu haben sind. Gerade das Dual Shock 3-Pad ist problemlos zu bekommen und kann von Kunden auch in größeren Mengen gekauft werden.

Other words saying: according to Nihon Keizai Shimbun the 40GB ain't sell that well, no long lines, just good, nothing spectacular and more than enough available.

I seriously doubt PS3 will be able to pass the Wii, the 40GB is too gimped to appeal to most



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

It has already passed it this week, Im expecting to pass it next week in japan(were the ban bet takes place).

Hopeflly sales increase in the U.S and OTHERS, I doubt my bet will succeed. PS3 needs to sell some 300k units in 1 week world wide to pass wii.
