So, if PS3 sells below 10.000/week, could 360 easilly outperform it by far when Eternal Sonata is out this autaumn, and then even more when Lost Odyssey is out in end 2007 ? Add Circle of Doom too, and Blue Dragon that is already out too

Wouldn't all those games sell far more 360 there ?

Also Cry On, Infinite Undiscovery will become more popular and will be shown fully by that time, making the 360 future in Japan seem even better to future 360 buyers over there

So, is there a chance that after those games in 2007 are out, and the ones for early 2008 are advertised fully, 360 to just overcome PS3 in japan ?

Not a chance but I do think 360 sales will start increasing. It'll probabaly surprise a lot of Japanese developers as well. There are more JRPGs coming out for the 360 right now than the PS3... that speaks volumes for Japanese gamers!!

The 360 is certainly the more logical choice, but it isn't going to happen. This is Japan we're talking about. You can hope all you want, but the so called "market penetration" will never happen.

No, it comes out in September but I played the Japanese demo last night and it's gonna get REALLY high scores. The game is amazing and uses a new battle system that is ACTUALLY FUN!!

                 Catch and surpass - MS is puting on the most push this holiday season and the games and price will end the chances of PS3 unless $ony is willing to go balls out to improve thier console image with super hot games not yet seen along with a healthy price cut ;)

Well, whatever, 10.000/week is NOT that impressive though , if it can consider it sells at all that is
