Maybe, now this is just a theory, maybe Japanese gamers want some new games?

Funny - Japanese buyers weren't waiting for post-E3 PS3 purchases in April of 2009.... when n4g was full of posts about the PS3 dominating Japanese hardware sales...

Keeps those portable JRPGs rolling in though, I guess. Suits me just fine.

[Claudinho69]

people are waiting to buy Sony consoles after e3 announcements i bet

[Smacktard]

...Why specifically Sony consoles? That's a bit fanboyish.

[Claudinho69]

um because there is strong rumors everyday for the past months of new ps3 SKUs, ex:new psp, ps3 price drop, ps3 slim, etc...

still too fanboyish for you?

[RememberThe357]

You didn't think about that before you said it, did you?

[SL1M DADDY]

It's Japan. What, did you expect somebody to defend the low Xbox 360 sales in the same manner? Even if they were announcing something new and cool for MS, Japan will have little to do with the 360. Now, the Wii numbers are not so surprising since they have been on the down swing for the past couple months. It would seem that the Wii fad is coming to a slow period in Japan. Perhaps they need a price cut?

[xaviertooth]

microsoft themselves keep buying their consoles in japan!

[Ps_alm3k]

Yess!

[Danja]

lol I find it funny , the 360 is competing with the PS2 still...

[fredy]

ps2>ps3 in the strongest market.

[chidori666]

but, but, 1.0 m in japan say m$.....

[mshope10]

slim daddy you do know that wii has crushed the ps3 in sales for the last 3 years! beside those 2 months,now 3 weeks later wii has outsold the ps3 so if wii is on a downward turn ps3 has crashed and burned!
