"PS3 moved closer to that of Nintendo Co.'s Wii in Japan" That's the best news of the week for me.

1.1 - was there any doubt

It would at least get closer? TGS is upon us, and the swirling rumor of FFVII sure does help. Still Wii is winning.

4.2 - I agree, things for PS3 can only get better.

It cant get much worse.

But I think PS3 is going to be in last place again this Holiday.

5 - PS3 will not win this holiday season

I am a fan of the PS3 hell I have one but theres no way Sony is going to be close to Microsoft or Nintendo. Just look at the games coming out with Microsoft you have Mass Effect and Halo 3, and Nintendo has Super Mario Galaxy which is going to sell a lot and in December you got Super Smash Bros Brawl which will sell millions and a lot of people are over looking Dragon Ball Z 3 for the wii, that game has exclusive online play for the wii, and the DBZ2 sold well over 2 million copies on the wii and PS2 last year so thats a sleeper hit. Sony has a couple games, Uncharted and Rachet & Clank looks good but can they drive people to buy a PS3 for $500-600 I dont know about that. think the PS2 will do really well though good games like Dragon Ball Z 3, Stuntman, and NBA live 08 will help people who dont quite have the money for a PS3 not to mention PS2 has the most number of AAA titles its definitly worth getting one, I still play my PS2.

There is no way PS3 will win this season. The Halo 3 effect, no GTA 4 and strong showings from its competition will stop it this holiday season. That is not to say that there is not good games coming out this year on the PS3, I just feel the momentum is not swinging in Sony's direction fast enough this season.

However, by next holiday season will be entirely different. With Final Fantasy XIII, MGS 4, GTA 4, Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone confirmed for next year. It will be different IMO.

This holiday season is for 360 and wi for sure and also one thing i dont understand is why Microsoft waste so much time and effort in japan when they can pour all that money into Korea,china, india and russia and make tons more money tahn 2000 consoles a week.

the audience 360 is aimed at seem to not exist in japan and unless they don't get some serious exclusives like Final Fantasy and MGS there will be no way to revive it.
