Ok lets get this outta of the way right now. I beleive the PS2 has sold not to much more over 20million in Japan. Well everyone seems to keep saying you need Japan to win well this is BS. Because it's VERY CLEAR the PS2 won is because it sold over 100million world wide. Which tells you very clearly that USA and other countries NOT JAPAN was the reason.

Well ladies and Gentlemen the PS3 has STRUGGLED to sell in the major countries USA and now it's very clear that accross the ocean it is STRUGGLEING just as bad. And there is reports all over how much fewer sales then expected occured last week. And the outlook is not looking good.

So for anyone who really still thinks PS3 will win is just not looking at the logical picture and what's happening now and with sales numbers.

Now the only way it seems that the PS3 can win again is if Sony really does run this PS3 for 10 YEARS. Lets be honest that's not winning that called grasping for sales. We all know THIS WAR for the real KING is for 5-7 years anything after that is GARBAGE POINTS.

I said i beleive becuase of the sales numbers of Japan on PS2. I beleive it is around 20 million or a little more. I don't have the exact count. If someone can post that would be great.

But the FACTS are as i stated. Just use simple LOGIC.

It's common knowledge (or so I thought) that Japan makes up roughly 20% of the global gaming market. The 360 can easily dominate even without Japan. Why do you think games like DMC4 and Ace Combact - all from Japanese developers - are coming to the 360 even though they know sales will be low in Japan? Developers aren't stupid you know.

 Don't forget, Japan only has a population of 125,000,000.

What you forget to acknowledge is that although the PS2 only sold 20 million in Japan the Xbox and Gamecubes worldwide sales were not much higher then the PS2s Japan sales. As for the PS3 "struggling" to sell, its sales are just fine and in NA which is the 360s major home base. When you compare the 360 and PS3 at the 5 month life span the PS3 is selling just as fast, it just needs more games to boost its sales just like the 360, PS2, GC, and every other gaming console in history needed. What you fail to see is the 360 only sells well in NA, in Japan it is nonexistant and in Europe its sales are ok at best. The PS3 sells well in NA, Japan, and looking at the PS3s preorders it sells well in Europe. Selling well in THREE regions is more beneificial then selling well in one region, then poor in another region and Ok in the thrid.

Why do you think games like DMC4 and Ace Combact - all from Japanese developers - are coming to the 360 even though they know sales will be low in Japan? Developers aren't stupid you know.

The problem is the 360 needs to dominate the two other regions to make up for its horrible sales in Japan and it is not even close to doing that. It is far from dominating in Europe or NA.

You by no means can compare the first 5 months of 360 and PS3 sales. Why you ask. 360 had HUGE supply issues in the first 6 months the PS3 has not. So the PS3 is only selling as good and the 360 could only sell what they had and that was VERY FEW.

The PS3 and the 360 had supply issues, you cant devalue one over the other. And even if you look at january before crackdown boosted the 360s sales with the Halo Beta the sales were pretty neck and neck with 360 at like 290,000 and PS3 at 240,000. It has to do alot better then that to be first.

If that long post helps you feel better about not being able to get a PS3, more power to you. You should start another thread tomorrow to see if that helps even more.

I didn't even bother reading whatever you posted there. The reason being the PS3 has only been out for a few months and just starting to get bigger titles. Also summer is coming and we all know there is usually a drought around that time. That fact alone renders this thread completely useless and nothing more than fanboy ranting.

the ps3 does not sell well in the usa (did you see last month's npd numbers? LOL) the ps3 does not sell well in japan either although it does sell way better than the 360 their though. in europe ps3 is not gonna sell well just because the launch went well does not mean its gonna sell i mean all launches sell out and last time i check the ps3 did not sell out in europe although it sold 500,000 theirs still 500,000 sitting in store shelves in europe. ( lets see the monthly number in europe for the ps3 a couple months from now it will be as low as the US numbers)

I disagree. the ps2 sold faster in japan than the other markets. of course they can't keep up after a few years because of the population being smaller. if you look at the beginning of a consoles life, Japan is very important for developer support and thus really does impact what eventually wins over all. Japan sold 1million ps2's in it's first month. the US took 3.

last war the world could be split up into three sections, with each different console domminating. Nintendo had Japan, Microsoft had NA and Sony had Europe, (this is what me and my friends have come up with). However this looks like it will change. Over the weekend in game shops i heard to different shops say they still had PS3 this shows that People where i live (outskirts of London) are fed up with Sony's disregard for them, a later realease big expense. I believe Nintendo have taken over Europe with its move to get non-gamers intrested, I'm not sure what is happening in NA but 9i think Nintendo may win this gen.

So for anyone who really still thinks PS3 will win is just not looking at the logical picture and what's happening now and with sales numbers.

Now the only way it seems that the PS3 can win again is if Sony really does run this PS3 for 10 YEARS. Lets be honest that's not winning that called grasping for sales. We all know THIS WAR for the real KING is for 5-7 years anything after that is GARBAGE POINTS.

If that long post helps you feel better about not being able to get a PS3, more power to you. You should start another thread tomorrow to see if that helps even more.

You're associating Japan as just a market for console sales, but in fact, Japan's influence extends much more than that.

Ok lets get this outta of the way right now. I beleive the PS2 has sold not to much more over 20million in Japan. Well everyone seems to keep saying you need Japan to win well this is BS. Because it's VERY CLEAR the PS2 won is because it sold over 100million world wide. Which tells you very clearly that USA and other countries NOT JAPAN was the reason.

Well ladies and Gentlemen the PS3 has STRUGGLED to sell in the major countries USA and now it's very clear that accross the ocean it is STRUGGLEING just as bad. And there is reports all over how much fewer sales then expected occured last week. And the outlook is not looking good.

What you forget to acknowledge is that although the PS2 only sold 20 million in Japan the Xbox and Gamecubes worldwide sales were not much higher then the PS2s Japan sales. As for the PS3 "struggling" to sell, its sales are just fine and in NA which is the 360s major home base. When you compare the 360 and PS3 at the 5 month life span the PS3 is selling just as fast, it just needs more games to boost its sales just like the 360, PS2, GC, and every other gaming console in history needed. What you fail to see is the 360 only sells well in NA, in Japan it is nonexistant and in Europe its sales are ok at best. The PS3 sells well in NA, Japan, and looking at the PS3s preorders it sells well in Europe. Selling well in THREE regions is more beneificial then selling well in one region, then poor in another region and Ok in the thrid.

You by no means can compare the first 5 months of 360 and PS3 sales. Why you ask. 360 had HUGE supply issues in the first 6 months the PS3 has not. So the PS3 is only selling as good and the 360 could only sell what they had and that was VERY FEW.

 

The 360 also had NO competition.  The PS3 has the 360 and the Wii, and is still selling as well as the 360 did, apparently, in its first few months.

I dont get why everyone gets so up-in-arms about the "console wars".  Why isnt it possible to just enjoy your system, and let someone else enjoy theirs? 

I bought a PS3 for a few reasons, one of which was the Blue-ray dvd player, another was upgradability.  Does that mean that I hate the 360?  Uh, no.  I had a PS2 and an Xbox, and I enjoyed them both.  I will probably buy a 360 at some point if there are any games that appeal to me that I cant get on the PS3 (and if I can do it without my wife killing me in my sleep).  But for now the PS3 seems to offer me more of what I want.

This doesnt mean that I think people who feel that the 360 is better are stupid.  People are entitle to their opinions....why try to force yours on them?
