Do I live in Japan? Do I care what they buy? Umm, NO and NO!!! All I know is that my console (XBOX 360) has the best versions of Madden and NCAA 2008. It has what is so far theGOTY(Bioshock) and it will soon have the greatest console FPS of all time(Halo 3) and based on the success of BioWare's last XBOX title, Mass Effect will also outsell any PS3 this holiday season!!!

It doesn't matter, the Wii has absolutely crushed the PS3 in sales (360 too, considering the year head start).

To the underlined, we know. We all know the 360 sells like crap in Japan.

For the gap to be closing wouldn't the PS3 have to actually outsell the Wii on a weekly basis?

You don't care about Japan but Microsoft does. Oh and I will be playing the superior version of Halo 3 on the PC about a couple months later anyways.

For the "gap" to actually "close" the PS3 would have to outsell the Wii. This isn't outselling, it's like 20,000 units behind. And I don't live in Japan, so it doesn't really matter.

It took 2 and a half years for Halo 2 to come out on the PC. I'm not sure how long it will take Halo 3 to come out, but a couple of months is around 3 or 4, and I doubt that.

Wait a second. How long did it take for Halo 2 to come out on PC? 2 years? If you dont think that Bungie is going to take a much deserved break through the holidays and recharge their batteries as well as analyze whatever NEw projects they may have in mind then you are nuts! Halo 3 wont be on PC anytime before 2009..count on it!!

Nintendo is diverting shipments of Wii to NA. With the release of MP3, they wanted to make sure there were enough consoles out there for people to buy this game.

Sales in the #3 market mean much, much less than sales in markets 1 and 2. If you own markets 1 and 2, 3 doesn't really mean much.farrell2k

Except the only console that seems to be headed that way is the Wii. So if the other two don't get 1 or 2, then 3 becomes that much more important. Plus, everyone forgets that market #3 has a lot of devs with some of the best games created. Having control of that market means more games from them.

Wii outselling PS3 2 to 1 is still very very good. Now we don't know anything else but their might be some kind of supply contrants because like all of a sudden in the US wii is selling like 40,000 more a week. Those 40,000 had to have come from somewhere. Unless if they started to produced that much more all of a sudden.

I would just like the point at that the probable cause of Japan Wii sales faltering is because everyone and their grandmother in Japan must own one by now with how it's been selling.

If your team was in the Super Bowl and losing big, youd be the guy who goes "Hey, my team is only down 14 to 45 now, maybe we can put a comeback together!"

The fact that you would be excited that your console of choice is only getting outsold by 2-to-1 indicates the sad state of affairs that said console is in.

If this was Street Fighter 2, he'd be saying "At least you didn't beat me with a perfect."
