Looks like the only way PS3 will win in Japan is if the definition of 'win' is changed.

It depends on what your definition of "is" is.

Couldn't find the exact figures, but:
PS3: ~11lbs X 11,000 = 121,000 lbs
Wii: ~ 4 lbs X 77,000 = 308,000 lbs
That ship sailed a long time ago :lol :lol
PS3: ~11lbs X 11,000 = 121,000 lbs
Wii: ~ 4 lbs X 77,000 = 308,000 lbs

LO is bigger though, plus it has a famous Manga Artist Takehiko Inoue doing character design. Lets just say a manga of his alone made basketball popular in Japan and sold hundreds of millions of copies.
The game has jumped to 12th place in the Famitsu top 20 and has been the most anticipated new IP for the magazine for a long, long time.
If it really isnt marketed well and ends up failing in Japan like most Microsoft related games, I think it will be strong enough to sell better than Blue Dragon will in NA and Europe.

I can't believe it's come to this. Even the idea of losing FFXIII seems totally plausible at this point. This is miles beyond Nintendo's failure with the N64.

Wii comparisons: At 21 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 83.3 weeks (April 14, 2003), DS was at 21.0 weeks (April 23, 2005), where PS2 was at 18.9 weeks (July 8, 2000), and where PSP was at 51.3 weeks (November 29, 2005).
PS3 comparisons: At 24 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 2.9 weeks (March 18, 2000), where PSP was at 10.1 weeks (February 13, 2005), where GCN was at 15.4 weeks (December 25, 2001), and where Wii was at 4.3 weeks (December 25, 2006).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares were 12.4 / 87.7, Wii besting last week's percentage of 86.4 but still slightly below launch week's 91.8. LTD shares are now 28.1 / 71.9. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this rate, it would catch up in 119.9 weeks (August 8, 2009). If "the flip" occurred, the systems would meet up in 19.7 weeks (September 6, 2007).
(Now Wii has done 600% more than PS3.)
PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, PS2 and DS totals meet in 25.5 weeks (October 17, 2007) at 20.7 million units apiece.

Some of that stuff is just mindblowing. It's crazy how much the industry in Japan has changed in such a short time.

At least until we all get Fibre Optic internet at 800MB/s and digital distribution takes over entirely. You're Australian, so you know about how the Labour party plan to spend up big and lay a Fibre Optic network accross Australia if they win the election late this year. If AUSTRALIA looks like getting it, then it can't be that far off for developed countries worldwide.
I really think Sony is being rather shortsighted with the whole Blu-ray trojan thing. It's a pretty pointless format, because digital distribution is going to take over entirely in the next 5-10 years. This has been discussed to death, but when DVD came out everyone got excited because in addition to better picture and sound quality (over VHS) you could also skip scenes, view special features, have subtitles + different language tracks, and they didn't degrade over time.
These new disc formats just offer the same but better which is not going to make it the new standard. Instead it's going to become a niche item favoured by HD nuts.
