wow 360 has no chance this generation.

 

so you think sony selling like 50k (which its less than) a month more than the 360 in Japan is better for sony than the 360 selling over almost 100k than the ps3 in NA?

[QUOTE="Metroid_Time"]PS3 is being outsold by the PS2. Whatever happened to cows getting all riled up by the 360 being outsold by old hardware?Bread_or_Decide

Prob the same reason why Sheep don't care that the DS is outselling the Wii.

A company does not compete with itself. Sony has slots 3,4 and 5 all to itself. That is not a bad thing at all.

 

And 3+4+5 still does not equal the 2nd place sales, much less first.

1) XBOX360 VS PS3

2) PS2 VS wii Gears360

[QUOTE="RBlair21088"]be prepared for massive, omg 360 is teh super low sales lolersk8z, damge control. bobbo

Damage controle or bragging is not the purpose of this post. Just trying to start a debate about the current trend in Japan, and what that means for the industry if it continues....



Is Japan even relevant anymore? The US seems to have become what Japan was in the 90s for gaming, and Europe is becoming the new new US in terms of importing US games. Look at the frustrated UK gamer posts about the US getting games first - reminds me of earlier times when we were waiting for final fantasies to cross the pacific.

Japan has changed so much in their attitude towards gaming, or perhaps things have just collapsed as for as the non-Nintendo gaming market, but in any case, it hurts Sony a great deal, as their US support is quite a bit smaller than Microsoft's and Nintendo's.

[QUOTE="sps9"]

guys, quit falling back on the ps2 as a defense for Sony

last week in japan

PS3 = 11,948 x $300 LOSS per console = -$3,600,000

PS2 = 12,872 x $130 = $1,690,000

even if the ps2's retail price is 100% profit (which it is NOT), Sony still loses 2 million dollars overall on console sales in Japan last week

no more "sales of the ps2 are going to help Sony drop the ps3 price" comments any more ok

 

alfy13

wow good post btw. but you forgot to mention. these consoles are bound to loose money period. these consoles are made for long term, not short term. all 3 companies know they will loose money in the first few years, it's only common sense. 

theres also money they are getting from blu-ray movie sales, game royalties, and im betting they even sold a few hdtv's because of the ps3. building the ps3 as multimedia device was a profitable decision by sony.

Of course they are important.  It's simply another market to sell consoles.

You people probbaly forget that PS3 was supposed to sell 100x in Japan, since PS2 had 100x the install base than xbox, right ? Selling just a few thousand more is a pure disaster for PS3

Hopefully the sales stay like this and Sony initiates a price-cut!
