If you look at the recent polls in Japan, PS3, and Revo are neck and neck regarding the interest of Japanese consumers. Half a year ago, the PS3 had a monumental lead in Japanese polls, but momentum is beginning to shift in the land of the rising sun as Japan has once again embraced Nintendo, the DS, and their vision of innovation.

I'm getting sick of this word being thrown around. I love Nintendo don't get me wrong, but this word is getting thrown around too much. Any ways I don't care who takes over in Japan. As long as it's not M$, which will probably never happen.

Not really true, in every poll I've seen the PS3 has more interest then the Rev. Is some in it's close, and in some the difference in interest is still considerable. No matter what, I've never seen a reliable and respected poll where the Rev was even with PS3 in interest, therefore no, I still think the PS3 will take the lead again.

Polls were similar back in 2000. While the GC sold as well if not more than the PS2 certain times of the year, the lack of games killed the GC in Japan.Â
I'd start buying Nintendo stock. I have no confidence in PS3 at all next gen. Rev+Ds will own Japan, but of course PS3 isn't completely screwed as it will outsell X360 in Japan :lol:
In the US the PS3 will win followed by the Rev, in Japna the Rev will win followed by the PS3, and overall the Rev will rule.wooooode
I agree. However, I do think there is a SLIGHT chance that the Rev may overtake the competition in sales, considering it's incredibly low price for it's amazing features.
I will give it to Nintendo over Sony in Japan as well. Here is why: PS2 was an affordable dvd player out of the box. The Japanese love innovation right? Well it seems that the Rev is certainly innovation driven.Â
Also, I have always said that the Rev would be fighting for first and half a comfortable second world wide, I mean it was second world wide this time with the Cube. The breakdown goes like this, since most gamers own at least two consoles:
REV and PS3 PS3 and Rev REV and 360 360 and REV
I didn't give a PS3 and 360 or vice versa because after nine months of looking at these boards it seems that owners of the PS2 don't have the xbox and vice versa. It would be like saying you are a huge fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders equally.  It just will not happen.

If the PS3 has games but not innovation it'll still take the top spot. An innovative game, can be a bad game. Ummmm, can't all games be a bad game? Considering Nintendo said they are only going to let high quality games hit the shelves...:|? I guess we'll have to just wait and see...

- Microsoft and Sony include the rest of asia in their figures.
Both Nintendo and Sony are Japanese companies, and both will be delivering something very new to everybody, but i believe that the Revolution might outsell.

I think it's a lot more possible than most people will admit. If the DS is any indication of how Nintendo's new found business philosophy can work.......then yes it's very possible.
In all honesty, absolutely no bias, I really think IT COULD, because the machine itself has japanese people very interested, almost as much as the PS3. But it won't... because of the key titles anounced for PS3 like MGS4. Once those come out, they will sell like crazy. Nintendo COULD counter-attack by having a line up of Mario, Zelda and Metroid near launch, but for some reason, they just won't do it (we all know it deep inside!) They have the weapons, but they just won't fire. Don't ask me why... So umm... it will be real close... but I doubt Nintendo will beat them... it might change once they announce the 'other secret', but until then, that's what I really believe.
we really don't know how the next gen consoles are going to sell, the only thing I would put money on is the PS3 outselling the Xbox 360 ( I really don't know about my beloved nintendos revolution but lets all pray Reggie can get the **** together and kick some microsoft and sony ass)
