    Ofcurse the ps3 doesnt have any games for the japanese public at the moment, just wait for that sector 5 game and the salles will be up again.

    Now, I'm a PC gamer so I don't pay close attention, but every time people talk about ps3, they say things like "Well it doesn't have any good games out yet, just wait until so an so..."

    Well, uh, the ps3 has been out for like 2 years, right?

    I think it's an interesting turn of events, but I doubt it's going to continue like this long-term.

    Oh fuck who gives a shit. The machine is still making more money than you could ever imagine and we're all still enjoying awesome games so who gives two shits?

    The moment I give a shit about sales is the moment the console I own doesn't offer me the games I want to play.

    Fuck off for goodness sake.

    I don't give a crap about how many consoles either company has sold, and unless you're the C.E.O of Sales of either companies then I don't see why anyone else should or would care.

    What's your point? Every console has ups and downs... Why is it whenever PS3 falls behind 360, you see people rushing to these forums to "HA, YOU GOT TEH PWNED" yet whenever PS3 beats 360 you don't see random threads every two spaces down...

    I've come to wonder about people like Keano and all his goons. Do they not realize the hypocrisy? You can't say the Wii isn't in the lead because sales don't matter and then turn around and say that the 360 is better than the PS3 because of sales. WHAT THE FUCK!?! I've never encountered such stupidity!

    And yet, Nintendo is looking in the distance laughing all the way to the bank.

    Geez, what's the big deal?  They're fighting for 2nd place... and a way distant 2nd in Japan for that matter.

    No one fucking cares..these topics are so stupid, they immediately go off topic in 2 seconds without fail. Cut your system price down and get a few JRPGs and of course it will sell well for a while, but this short period of time isn't going to hold up at all in the long run...and hat point was well made, no one rushes to forums when PS3 outsells the 360 anywhere, yet immediately retarded tools like this have to rush to post something as soon as its the other way around...get over it, both systems have gone back and fourth in sales in pretty much everywhere, and of course Japan is gonna be no different for a while at least right after a price cut and some JRPGs....this still means nothing anyway, they'll never catch nintendo in Japan or probably here for that matter.

    new Japan numbers for this last week:

    - PSP: 159,816 135,915 (568.66%)
    - DS Lite: 29,839 2,075 (6.50%)
    - Wii: 26,024 3,147 (13.76%)
    - Xbox 360: 7,856 93 (1.20%)
    - PS2: 7,261 279 (4.00%)
    - PS3: 4,725 1,009 (17.60%)

    So PS3 is still at the bottom, being beat by everything except Virtual Boy, because of the VirtualBoy shortage I guess ...

    If those figures are accurate, i will be very surprised, even with the price difference 360 has never sold well in Japan. I wonder why its doing so well all of a sudden?
