PS3 On The Rise

:lol:

does the fact ps3 is outselling xbox in JAPAN surprise you?

While I'm glad that Sony is dominating, I'm quite disappointed in the Japanese in general as to why they still have the whole dynasty warriors fetish.

If you've ever viewed "other types" of Japanese media you'll find they have quite a few other strange fetishes.

There been a few been releases for the PS3 with Yakuza 3 and then RE5 if it can continue the pace what this week that would be impressive

lol 2009 will be funny. my guess is that sales will climb slowly until the end of the year, then gamespot will go, "guess what! we decided to not accept this month's payment from microsoft, so we're free to say this, sell your 360s and buy ps3s, because they OWNED you this year. we've just made a new thing, best system of the year, which microsoft already bought, and REAL best system of the year, which we're giving to sony's ps3, since like everybody, we found an elaborate loophole in microsoft's contract that allows us to screw them, and everybody hates them so we just can't resist. merry christmas!"

So at what point does Japan reflect the US? Foolish cows and their predictions...

Were have you been it was a big deal that 360 was beating out the PS3 in its home country awhile back.djsifer01

:lol:

does the fact ps3 is outselling xbox in JAPAN surprise you?

Mr_Apple_Soup

Too many of these topics. But anyway, beating the 360 in Japan is nothing to get confident about, if it wasn't beating it, that would be sad. As far as the success carrying into the US, what success? 2 weeks of good sales and all of a sudden the PS3 is a beast or something? Please, give it a month and everything will be back to normal.

Nope, its been 2 weeks. The low wii numbers are due to the release of like, no relevant games. The higher 360, PSPand PS3 sales are due to there biggest announced games relevant to Japan being released in the first 3 months of the year. DS has hit a serious saturation point considering its the best selling system in Japan ever, its selling rate is ridiculous taking this into consideration. PSP still has about less the user base and thus more time to grow.

The Wii's numbers won't pick up until late march - Aprilish when Monster Hunter G launches, and a few games like Muramasa come out. From then on it will have stronger sales until whenever Monster Hunter tri launches in the summerand then from there its anyones guess as to how it will hold up. Quote me on the fact that the high PS3 sales won't last more than a month from this date. There is no shift, its just big games coming out during a nintendo dry spell.

The wii has literally been selling on no games since Animal Crossing came out basically. It has nothing of relevancy in Japan coming out until end of march April when Monster Hunter G comes out. When it does come out the sales will rise, filler like Muramasa, Kizuna and Arc Rise Fantasia will basically sustain sales atleast until Tri launches. I don't think I've missed any games but I'm not sure actually.

Speak of the Wii numbers, my Wii is little more than an orniment lol, I've played it like 3 or 4 times and that was when I was in the process of completing SMGjonesy1911

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="Episode_Eve"] I thought it was for like a month :?. Either way, the PS3 could sell more than the Wii (which it is). But what explains the Wii's lower numbers? Are Japanese gamers shifting they're focus to PSP and/or PS3? If it continues, this can get interesting.Episode_Eve

I didn't bother with PSP in my analysis because I doubt the sales will drop off much. The system has a presence in Japan and I don't see it going away. The numbers are inflated from normals but they won't drop much.

As far as Japan market goes, there is usually never a huge sales increase unless a relevant game comes out. Most games in Japan are front loaded and will sell 75% of there total sales in the first week. I don't see PS3 at 35000+ a week with no games after RE5 honestly. Japan going HD will probably happen but it won't really matter since most of the gamers will own both consoles. It'll come down to games and price and as surprising as that sounds, Nintendo would probablywin that department just by there first party which always sell well in Japan. I don't see the Ps3 dying off or anything ridiculous like that, I just don't really know at this point how it'll go after tri launches. FF13 will be the next huge game and it may be out this year whichwill be huge for the PS3 so we'lll see.

Sure is better than what people were predicating for the PS3.

[QUOTE="nervmeister"][QUOTE="djsifer01"]PS3 sales are starting to soar in Japan a trend that i predict will carry over to the US and other countries over the next few years. To all Lemmings your precious 360 may find its way to last place were it belongs.

yup. it's all about the games bro. the only reason the 360 outsold the PS3 for that week or two in japan was because of star ocean 4. it's way more popular there then here (which is a shame).

I am happy that PS3 is getting better & better in terms of games library.. Never been much interested in units sold... i know sales are important since it helps getting devs attention in a system, but as i said i am happy seeing how Ps3's exclusive games library getting better which is what gamers should really be concerned about..

probably the sales momentum will be kept if Sony announce a price-cut later on this year... Price-cut + games = sales boost :)
