Ouch, PS2 is out selling PS3.

According to this list people in Japan like cheaper ways to play with the hottest newest titles available. And portables > consoles in Japan, so it's no surprise to see the PS3 at the bottom.
I do wish Valkyria Chronicles were on the 360 as well. A future port perhaps?

Woo 6 weeks. At the current rate, it's going to take 7.5 years to actually catch the PS3's lead in Japan.
Go weep at that statistic morons..

not a HUGE accomplishment but definitely a step in the right direction. i'm glad to see microsoft is putting up a fight like they said they would. it'd be awesome to see this continue however, i'm skeptical ;p

Wow. It's a freaking miracle. No one could have seen this happening!
Two consecutive price drops and more JRPG's than the competition couldn't possibly have any influence on sales!

Dude...if positive 360 news rubs you wrong, QUIT READING IT.

So you mean to tell me that you saw the drop of over 1000 in console sales coming down the road for the PS3? A 360 price drop should cause the 360 sales to go up a bit. But what's to explain the 17.6% *decline* in the PS3?

it's not like the 360's doing amazing numbers, my question is why is the PS3 selling so poorly?

I think Sony is about to introduce a new 80GB model in Japan at a lower price, or reduce the price of the current 80GB model.

I think Monster Hunter could have turned things around significantly... but now that the next proper one is hitting the Wii, I'd be surprised if it happens.

i almost feel sorry for sony at this point because the they are not making money anywhere including the consume electronics. it just hard to believe the 360 is outselling the PS3 in Japan. I never saw this coming. once microsoft gets a taste of blood they go in for the kill.

I am going to come out and ask... How do you know that Sony is not making any money? You notice PSP sales? They also have PS2 doing quite well (for its age)... They also make TVs and other items... So I would say they are doing just fine.
The problem with M$ going in for the kill is that they start pulling out their large check book, and ruining industries!
Also, all of the items on your list suck. I prefer:
Linux
Firefox
Open Office (free version of Word/Excel/etc.)
iTunes
iPod

Yuck, that's too many RPGs. I just bought Fable 2 and that's about as RPG-ish as I can get. Once this wave of RPGs on the 360 subsides, I foresee things returning to "normal" in that country.

I don't really get Japanese RPG's, since it's like reading a poorly written novel or comic.

Yes, yes, let's go back to the original Xbox with its frat boy audience and shooter after shooter after shooter, with maybe some HURR HURR MADDEN thrown in. Because that worked so well for sales and image last time. Fucking moron.

Well, there is a lack of RPG's on the PS3 and I believe the PS2 just got some RPG love'n as well as the xbox. So this could explain a lot. At least microsoft has pickuped the formula and is running with it.
However, holy PSP sales... :|
