Vid you say the same shit every time I post yet if that was how you truly felt you wouldn't even bother dumbass.

How retarded of you. On the one hand you don't care but on the other you obviously care enough to post.

Brilliant.

It's okay bitter sony fanboys. I'm sure the ps3 will get back to beating the 360 eventually in Japan. It probably won't even take to long.

The problem is that the ps2 will still be beating the shit out of your beloved ps3 and that's just shamefully pathetic.

Dude, honestly its time to simmer down. It's one thing to prefer 360 > PS3 but to act like if the PS3 and its fanboys raped you as a child is uncalled for. Dont you get tired of all the back and fourth nonsense? Everybody does it but you take it to another level. Banned level if you know what I mean, and I do think you know. All for what? Just sayin man, chillax.

This coming from me, a HUGE 360 Fanboy.

IF you don't care and don't take what I say seriously then why bother commenting? Just go your own way and say what you want to say.

Kind of like how that PS2 has beat the 360 forever in Japan as well. The statements logical trail applies to both of the PS & MS systems. How can one be pathetic but not the other one when its the same situacion. Smells like a hypocrisy.

Sorry for the spelling errors. English is not native for myself.

Sorry fenix but speaking my mind isn't taking it to some unholy level.

It's not like I'm following ninja's steps and hurling racist crap left and right.

And it's not like I go around threatening sony fanboys or the company itself. I just point out the truth and what some people are feeling.

Why on Earth is it a crime to think that the ps3 is a shitty sytem?

tmac BLANTANTLY thinks that the Wii is a shitty system. Does anyone get on his ass about that? I'm sure there are sony fanboys who think the 360 is a shitty system as well. No one gets on their case in regards to that.

So again what am I doing that's so out there? Is this just because it's sony and sony is off limits here on Joystiq?

Bottom line is that I know I have yet to do anything remotely wrong on this website. And regardless of the bias that the owners might have this is still a good spot for news and gaming in general. So I come here cuz it's better than that other place.

Anyways I'm heading off to bed.

Good Question lets consult ED.




Apart from being a versatile but unfunny herb, sage is a word originating from 2chan. Sage (pronounced sah-geh by Wapanese f*gg*ts and sayj by /b/tards) is used to reply to a post without bumping it. It's done by putting it within the e-mail field and does not push the post to the top.

Since then, its been ported to all the other chans and is used to both bump and express displeasure to the post being replied to.

The word itself comes from the Japanese word, 「下げる」 "sageru", (sah-geh-roo) meaning, 'to lower.' However, some argue that nobody really gives a sh*t. Amen /b/rother!

Well, see now, people, as I was reading through this part of thread it kept bubbling up in the back of my head, seem like it has been a bit since I saw a post by PremierAssassin / AzureKnight.

A more appropriate response than anything showing up above this one would've been "IT'S A TRAP!!!" Oh well, maybe in his next iteration people will catch on :) I do have to agree with him here however, that worthless douche Ninja/Chinpo did post something like "I hope your black ass gets banned, boy" and Joystiq just let him get away with it. Explain that one to me.

ESC, how thoroughly informative, good lawd!

I don't really mind what you write about whatever system, I'm just voting you down because it's part of my new regimen of voting ANYONE down for using the term 'Epic Fail' (or its converse, 'Full of Win') because that shit is TIRED.

Until PS3 starts acting like a Japanese console, it will continue to do poorly. Right now, on store shelves, there is little difference between a PS3 and 360, unlike the other four consoles that learned a while ago that "One must sell TO Japan to sell IN Japan."

@ Sheppy

That is the problem of Sony's arrogance. After the PS2's complete and utter Japanese dominance (GC put up less of a fight than it did in America) they assumed they had the region locked, part of the vision of this generation where Nintendo would be a non-player and Sony and Microsoft would battle it out, which meant Sony got Japan by default, and would simply have to focus on flushing Microsoft out in America, it's stronghold

Of course, that kinda did happen, except that Nintendo wound up being a non-player in that it's inaccessibly far ahead of the competition, not behind, and Sony and MS are battling for the scraps.

I don't think my previous comment went through but anyways.

Its not that the PS3 sales numbers in Japan have declined any, its just that the 360's have SKYROCKETED. Mostly because of Tales of Vesperia, MS did a great job securing that for the 360.

But as you can see, its never permanent and its sales figures are steadily dropping and will probably be behind the PS3s next week. But if MS keeps securing Japanese exclusives to the 360, they'll be golden.

Now why on Earth didn't they try to get Monster Hunter 3, especially since Capcom is a fan of the 360?

Actually Chin-Poh (and I say this as a guy with 2 60 GBs), this week is actually one of the lowest the PS3 has ever seen. There is sometimes a dip before a large release, but in this case I think it has more to do with the Japanese economy. Just my guess though.

Microsoft's new strategy in Japan seems to be working well. Sony are going to have to come back big. Home and LittleBigPlanet are a good start, but Sony need to get back to securing PS3 exclusives if they want to keep the Japanese market.

I'm most surprised by the DS. Announcing new products (DSi) tends to lead to the Osborne effect, where current product sales are hit. There has been a hit, but not as big as you'd expect with the release as soon as next month. I'd have expected them to fall below PSP sales, considering the PSP-3000 is much less of an upgrade.

Also, since the iPod touch is now considered to be a gaming device (see Joystiq comparison - DSi vs iPod touch vs PSP-3000), shouldn't we be getting figures for that as well? Apple are quite protective of their numbers, so maybe there aren't any available.

The issue isn't that apple numbers are hard to get, but rather apple numbers are most often complete fabrication. The only numbers they report accurately are tbe apple store stats. The rest of it often hugely innacurate.

The Japanese really love their JRPGs, especially the Tales series. I think after that, then dating and train simulators are popular genres as well.

Now how about MS trying to get a Dragon Quest/Warrior game for the 360? I hear the series sells extremely well in Japan, up around the Tales and Final Fantasy series!

I always wondered about those coloured editions. Do people really sit around thinking "you know, I'd like to shell out £120 on a PSP, if only it was in pink or simpsons yellow?"

As awesome as I think LittleBigPlanet is going to be, I just don't see it being a system seller. I would love to be proven wrong in this case, because the game looks amazing, but it just doesn't seem to have that massive appeal to get more people to buy PS3s.

Is Gears 2 releasing worldwide Nov 7th? That would be awesome if there was a spike in Japanese sales because of Gears. I know The Last Remnant also comes out but it would just be like icing on the cake for MS if on that week (if it does come out there as well) 360 would jump up in sales. :P

Really good to see the whole world finally getting on the 360 band wagon.

Damn, Microsoft has taken over the world with Windows, now the 360 is right about there. Maybe the Zune will skyrocket in popularity eventually as well? : )

Last FOUR weeks Xbox outsells PS3 by 31k on the strength of lowering their price below that of a Wii AND and exclusive RPG.

The PS3 outselling the 360 in Japan is considered normalcy. When the opposite happens, everyone's interest is piqued and many will comment how much Sony fails, that they let the 360 overtake them in Japan when its historically not been kind to the Xbox but the opposite for the PS3.

Its mainly because of Microsoft securing exclusives to the 360 the Japanese really want, like Tales of Vesperia.

I am wondering why MS is able to secure all these exclusives and Sony is not. Don't they both have much money to spend? It seems like MS has become very bold and aggressive whereas Sony has become more passive and complacent...
