Well that's Kotaku and that dirtbag Brian Crecente and his staff of alter boy worms. I am so glad Kotaku has been hitting the skids and that website is dying a slow and agonizing death. Time to get a job you little Yanni Cher impersonator.

"4. 360 dropped over 50% over the previous week. "

Japanese consumers are just realizing it's a 360

Poeo ouch is right and so is morganfell. 360 will lose again this gen you all wait and see the system has not gained enough ground with all they've done and many early adopters like myself now out of warranty will move on with the PS3 exclusively knowing that our systems will die at some point and I'm not buying another one this issue is way to widespread for my liking.

Ouch... And... Bubbles to you for speaking my mind. Kotaku is pure crap journalism no matter what you're a fan of. Their bias is only outdone by their stupidity.

hand held systems sell way more that consoles (but make less profit.)
so of course the DSI sold more.

Consoles are usually sold at a loss. Portables are not. Your theory makes no sense at all.

but console games make more profit than handhold games. I'm talking about overall profit.

"but make less profit"

How do they make less "profit" if the hardware is kinda cheap to make?
Handhelds are one of the things that kept Nintendo loaded with money.
Games sell extremely well.(and yes are pirated as well).

Do you have any proof of that? COnsole games take more money to make then portable games. Yah they do sale for a higher price but also cost more to make.. Which made more money in your opinion? Nintendogs with 20million sold or GTA4 with 8 million sold? I'm pretty sure it was Nintendogs.

Kotaku.com is such an obvious fanboy website. Everytime the 360 sells ONE more copy than the PS3, their headlines read "360 crushes PS3 in sales once again". However, when the PS3 sells a lot more than the 360 (which is often) Kotaku NEVER reports it as bashing. They just title it "Sales report" or something along those lines.....or they just don't report it at all.

I think PS3 sales took a jump after Way of the Samurai 3 came out.Either way I stopped caring for Japan because they just buy casual crap.

PS I'm not hating the Wii or DS but merely some of the casual crap on the systems.Kirby is ok though

I can agree about the math thing. In my book "outsold all others combined" would be 50+%, yet there is a pie chart showing 47.11%. Yeah, the math...

I really hope White Knight Story will do really good, like atleast 700K+ in total sales. Just enough to show the difference how JRPG do on PS3 than on 360 and makes Namco and SE looks like idiots.

I got a feeling WKC is going to destroy everything in sales in Japan....
......and thats before we find out if the game is even good! One website correctly reported that the PS3 has not many RPG's( I can only think of Eternal Sonata, the rest are SRPG's and Folklore is an action adventure) so because of that drought, people are going to rush in droves to get it there. Of course, Level 5 have never put a foot wrong so far so the icing on the cake is that this game is probably going to be brilliant anyway!

You probably said the same thing for LBP,Haze,Lair, and many other games..You would think after 2 years of hyping bad games you guys would just shut up and wait for the game to come out. Sure it is the one game I wanted for PS3 since it was announced but that doesnt mean it will be an isntant AAA hit that sales million on day 1...I seriously bet I could go through your previous posts and find you saying the same thing about LBP and it is selling right around Wii MUsic range now

You're an idiot.

I said Level 5's game is PROBABLY going to be brilliant based on the previous track record of BRILLIANT rpg's they have produced. If you had bothered to play them, you would understand

Stop wasting my time and go bother the Billy Goats Gruff under a bridge.

Welcome to my ignore list. Population: Fanboys+you

9 - a million on day 1?
Kinda hard to sell a million copies of 1 game on ps3 when sony gives you like 8 exlusive games to choose from the same month. Haze does suck but its just as bad as area 51 or single player campaign on unreal tournament 3 or clive barkers Jericho but you need to take back what you said about Lair! I like Lair. Do you know to me in my opinion its just as good as the spiderman 3 game but incredibly more beautiful. That was a launch game & if you wanna be a expert, review the game yourself or look l;ike a total tool bringing up a metacritic score & sentences used in somebody elses review.

This is a games forum after all.
LBP is a bad game? can you please post your favorite game this year or even from this gen & try not to have a multiplatform please, ah thank you. Im sure the game you wanna post is not going to make it &
you end up posting the game that shows your true character. A simple follower. cmon whats your poison? Name that Game. Arent avatars quite a shame.
