Judging by those numbers, the Japanese sure as hell don't mind the interfacing screen issue! : 0

That, or the news about it wasn't widespread until... ya know, people started using theirs.

I'd browse 2ch to see what a lot of channers think about the new PSP... but then I remembered I don't know Japanese.

And they probably thought it was a better idea than buying an old psp-fat and a 4gig memory stick off a friend for $90. But what do you think?

My CAD teacher always used to tell me that using lens flares was cheesy and looked unprofessional....

Thank you joystiq for proving him wrong! ;)

Seeing how the psp outsold everything combined this week I don't think they're shedding many tears.

What's shaking PremierAssassin? What, your TheAbbotFire account already got banned?

You must be flabergasted that Sony's in the top of the charts for a country that's not even yours, granted not the PS3, but oh no, Sony's finding some success, the horror, THE HORROR!!!!!!

Are you retarded racist?

This is NOT the 1st time the psp has been at the top. I'm sure you know that dumbass. In fact it has been going back and forth with the DS for months now...


So why should I care this week? Its becuz of the same thing that happened last time. A new model dropped and Japan went crazy.

If it were the ps3 then I'd be concerned...

God your logic is so stupid. Ignore history and make some more typical sony fanboy bullshit

Funny how you talk about ignoring history and yet you celebrate when the 360 slightly outsells the ps3. Since you don't ignore history, you should know the ps3 is still extremely far ahead and will likely never be caught by them.

Good. Now that you realize it will never catch up you're just making yourself look even more idiotic celebrating these numbers each time it happens, as there's basically no point.

I don't think so...

It's the principle of the thing. No one expects the ps3 to be losing to the 360 even at this stage. And especially in Japan.

So while the 360 may never reach the ps3 overall in Japan it's still admirable that it's doing as well as it has been doing.

And it's absolutely pathetic for the ps3 to be losing to the psTWO and in DEAD LAST.

LMAO.

The PS1 continued to outsell the PS2 for two years, and that wasn't being supported with new games as much as the PS2 is now.

Basically, you're a troll. You dance around posting fails here and roflmaos there, acting as if microsoft will reward you for your antics. Guess what? Sony and Microsoft are both earning profits. You're only wasting your time.

Dude, you should back off on the 'racist' nonsense, makes you look ingnorant (and yes, I know the background on that story).

As for you Sony hatred, listen, I have the thing and its' sole use is as a movie player, and I'm not a fan of how they've done things this gen; but jeez, does hating them make you feel important or something? That's all you ever post about and it's really tired.

Try a meaningful, articulate dialogue sometime.

At least when Bowser got his ass banned he never came back.

This, I am surprised at and the PS3's sales have actually fallen quite a bit! I had expected Tales of Vesperia to only boost the 360's sales over the PS3's for a few weeks.

Uhm, woooo? Considering the low sales of all consoles over there, victory seems Pyrrhic at best for anyone. I mean, Jeebus, not even good JRPGs have nudged sales for long.

The cheaper 80GB PS3 SKU is dropping this week, I believe, which would explain why sales dipped so much last week.

Why would people buy a PS3 when they could get a similiar one for cheaper a week later? There should be a large rise again this week when the SKU is released.

And it'll be releasing alongside LBP no less, which Sony are marketing like hell in Japan. PS3 sales should be pretty strong this week.

I think the more impressive stat is that the 360 is now outselling the PS2.

Clever culture of gamers over there; they've waited until the 360 hardware has shaken off that pesky RRoD before they started buying en masse...

PS2 selling more than PS3, that'll rub a hell lot of salt into PS3 team's wounds.

PSP team is the new star performer for Sony. No more bonus for PS3 team this year.

These numbers are really bad for the ps3.
360 has not had a big release in japan since IU and with little big planet I though the Ps3 would have easily moved into 4 spot.

This generation it is the portable consoles that are dominating the market.

Wow. wat is going on in Japan recently?

Th3 360 is still outselling PS3 despite the fact that the last good game on it (for the Japanese at least) was released just under 3 weeks ago?

Oh well, I'm frankly happy for MS. I have gone from owning all 3 consoles down to one!!!

Sold the Wii to my friend, and as of two weeks ago, my 60GB PS3's bluray drive has died and Sony wants to charge me $180 + tax and S&H to replace it, which I am not paying since it was only out of warranty for 8 days when it was sent to them and they don't care that it was in shipping for 7 of those days =( So I have quite the grudge against Sony as of late.

In any case, my game purchase budget for the 360 has suddenly grown for this holiday!
