The current sales for the Wii in Japan is 2,535,196
The current PS3 sales for the PS3 in Japan is 901,739
Can the will sell 3 million units in Japan before the PS3 manages to sell 1 million ?
if the Wii does how can the PS3 over come a 2 million Wii lead in Japan ?
what do u think ?

I think it will be close. the PS3 is selling about 12,000 a week last time I saw and the wii was about 70,000 I think. so teh wii might just beat it
Actually the Wii is currently selling at 53kish and the PS3 hasn't broken 10k for awhile, this last week it sold about 9398 units. So if we assume PS3 sells 10k per week uninterrupted (as pathetic as that figure is its a doubtful one too.) and the Wii hovers above 50k every week. Then the Wii will sell 3 million in 9-10 weeks, but it's also very likely too see sporadic boosts to 70k or the sorts if the supply is good, so it'll probably hit the mark in 8-9 weeks. While the PS3 will hit 1mill in 10 weeks if it sells 10k a week (HINT: Currently its not.)
I was looking at the media crate thread and just realized how much of a brutal beating MS and Sony are getting. So I thought this year TGS will be pretty much the coronation of Nintendo as emperor of Japan.
I think there'll be a cascade of Japanese support for the Wii the usual (****loads) for the DS, a very decent support for the PSP abysmal support for the PSTriple and you know...the 360 is the 360 in Japan.
The E3 is in general harder to predict, so in amount and quality of the support I think it'll go like this: Wii-DS--360PSP-PS3---PS2 (The beast finally dies.)
How do you think this year's TGS and E3 will pan out?
That's actually pretty shocking. Isn't the Wiis attatch rate still a lot lower than 360s though? I assume sales are more concentrated amongst a few select games.cakeorrdeath
The 360 pretty much has a godly attach ratio but the userbase just stopped growing. They need a price drop to set it on fire.
why do people here in SW care about execs' comments, people here in SW say more stupid and dumb comments everyday than these execs/PRs. hypocrisy ftw.xxThyLordxx
Only trolls don't criticize outright stupidity, if you haven't noticed most big threads are big because stupid comments start flame wars. Stop damage controlling, and treat the comment as what it is ****, it's unbelivable they try to spin something like this.
Ok many try to argue ps3s poor sales are due to price. i would like to disagree. ps2 didnt sell many conoles in its first year and sony is on a goal to ship just as many ps3s as it did ps2s in the same time period: the first year of each persepctive consoles life cycle. ps2 sold 95% of its 115 million base after year 1. once more games are released ps3 sales will surely pick up. by next year ps3 sales will defitnitely spike once all the big hitters will be released later this summer and fall. ps3 will take this generation by storm just like psone and ps2!

Your reasoning is pathetic. Anyone who bothers to analyze the current PS3 situation objectively can't deny that is f'ed. Nothing short of a miracle will save it.
