According to Japanese games magazine publisher Enterbrain - by way of the Reuters news agency - Sony had sold 1.01m PS3s in Japan between from the console's 11 November 2006 debut there to 15 July 2007.
The Xbox 360, which arrived in Japan in December 2005, almost a year before the PS3, has only racked up local sales of 420,705, between that date and 8 July, Enterbrain's numbers show.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
finally someone compare wii numbers with 360 numbers for a change and leave sony alone. Media jst can't get enough of rippin on sony.
Yea but it is hypocritical to compare sony numbers with wii in japan and sony with msoft in US and not do the same everywhere else. Sure sony used to be king, infact they still are the ps2 is still alive and kicking and isnt going anywhere. This leaves them at a disadvantage because less gamers will be willing to make that jump from ps2 to ps3 if they are still enjoying ps3 games. Same can't be said for the gamecube or regular xbox. Sony came out with a more expensive console, less impressive games and stiff competition from 360 and wii and still manage to pull xbox 360 sales over the same time period. No one recognizes this all they see is xbox out sells ps3 2-1, Sony loses yet another exclusive blah bla blah. The negative press behind ps3 is far too much. If ps3 had the 3 red lights problem we wouldnt hear the end of it and people would have been screamin recall msoft jst extends warranty 3 yrs and its all gud. Sony just caught some serious bad luck this yr. No one likes to see the king untop for too long so now they try to pull him down.
Blackman the reason why the PS3 is nailed so hard in Japan is because just last year they were the undisputed king of the nation, its just a bigger defeat for Sony because they loss their crown and now their so low.
But MS has always SUCKED in Japan no doubt about it the xbox never sold out of the first shipment, and the 360 is doing pretty much as crappy, so its not news when the guy in last place is still in last place.

Thammer, im part of the problem on this site because i prefer ps3 and you prefer 360? Or im part of the problem because 5 people agree with me? I state my case and don't hold back. I prefer ps3 and don't pretend to be unbiased. Besides, you tell me if you ever see me lying about anything in my comments. Lighten up dude
Lets not turn this into a flame war guys, lets just say that Japan is a market where both Sony and MS are suffering so its important to make up some ground in that region to increase over all sales..
i want a salary like peter moores
