1.4 - Remember, America does not equal the world
Sony closes the gap by a massive 6,000 units every week in Japan! Man, I love N4G!

360 is taking the lead in the UK but the UK isn't all of Europe.

Yep. Our recession is worse than the US's because of the exchange rate, and our apartments are too small for big tvs. Two reasons why people prefer handhelds over consoles.

As much as awsome that TV size is, the majority of the Japanese population will never be able to cram that into their living room.

Sales for consoles are too low. Even the wii isn't selling well and I'm surprised to see just a 5000 difference between PS3 and Xbox 360. With the release of FF XIII, DQ X, and MH3 sales for the PS3 and Wii should be better later this year.

5 - Wii Continues to Destroy PS3
The latest numbers out of Japan show that the PS3 continues to be dominated by the Wii. Analysts think that this trend will continue. A price cut has to be in the cards or the PS3 as it struggles to continue to be relevant in its home land.

Wii has outsold the PS3 in the last 3 to 4 months and its momentum continues. Sony needs some solid titles to stop its failing trend. Few analysts believe that the PS3 will see a recovery in this generation.

The PS3 is essentially a dead console.

For a system that is "dead," it sure is selling; despite it not beating the competition. I am surprised your common sense did not pick that up before you hit the 'post' button.

Well SprSynJn the PS2 is still selling also. I mean really do you know what these number use to look like in japan? This is low across the board. I mean really what is your point it can hang with the dead and loosing consoles? We all know the PS3 will not be dead till some CEO kills it. SONY will parade it around like a dead corpse till it starts making money if that ever happens. It reminds me more of the neo geo that was going up against the turbo graphx in away also the super graphics and the PC engine. There was no hope it could win just because of price but we loved it. Was it dead hell yeah I don't even think the thing ran off electric. J/K I think it ran off cold hard cash and yes it was that expensive.

Let me guess, I WON'T be seeing an article along the lines of

"PS3 outsells 360 2:1 in Japan - is the 360 dying? should Microsoft exit the gaming business now"

No you wont see that.Wanna know why?
Because the UK at one point was written off as a last place spot for the 360. Its newsworthy IMO that for half a year its even outsold the Wii let alone its more direct rival.
Now the PS3 has always outperformed the 360 in Japan. Was anyone surprised??
But with console numbers there being so weak across the board in Japan, its a hollow victory.

What is scary is the xbox 360 is 5,000 consoles behind the PS3 on it's turf. Also inst the price of the PS3 lower over there right now? Imagine if yakzura had came out on the xbox ouch!

In NA and UK the 360 is beating the ps3 pretty easily. The rest of the world looks to be neck to neck. This is Sony's land and the ps3 should be beating the 360 by a large margin but it's not. Worldwide sales go to the 360 and have been for awhile.

If the American numbers release and they look like this...

Xbox 300,000
PS3 150,000

Would that not be a large margin? It is the exact same margin! 2:1

the 360 is doing well now in japan and the ps3 slight resurgence is over with it back to 10 thousand wkly.i do not think japan is that important now with regards the console wars as the u.uk. is a bigger market and one in which ms lead by a few million cancelling out sonys lead in its home country.

UK is not the entire Europe, PS3 and 360 are having a very close fight when it comes to EU, in NA its a different story for the 360 is undoubtedly doing better than the 360 there.

HW sales down ,it's not that bad for a recession though.

DQ IX out soon, expect to see some higher than normal DS HW sales.

Nothing coming for PS3 & 360 for now, so the HW sales will remain in +/- 5000 units.

Nothing new for PSP, HW sales will remain really same until Go is released.

Wii, the joker in the bunch. WSR is going to have tremendous legs. Wounder how Black wii MH3 bundle pushes HW.

I find it funny that Nintendo everything is the only place to get media create sales now. While back in the 6 week period where ps3 was number 1. the cursed numbers could be found everywhere and they were the most important numbers of all time to some people. They trumpeted the time when ps3 would dominate all over the world. Now... all media create sales give you is the rush of beating 360 even by a downright pathetic 5,000 units.

Man.. i'll say it again... Japan Numbers don't matter to anyone but japan. How about those DSi sales tho.. Bet america does those numbers in 8 hours.
