Yoshi has strong, strong legs from the looks of things.

just thinking of sub 10k,
can't wait to see that threadenishi said:
Am I missing somethng here? Every time sales figures are announced, the comments from developers, media and analysts is " it will improve when X month arrives " and they say it like: " do not worry! everything is absolutely fine! Sony is just preparing engines to take off and leave competition behind! "
there HAS to be some negative consequences for sony if they sell 10k~ until June every damn weak in Japan. Why in the world isn't anyone in the gaming media or else freaking out? FFS, it's doing worse than gamecube numbers.

but the numbers aren't debatable!
if you sell 14,345 units of your console in japan, 5 months after launch, you ARE in trouble, no matter your brand power or if great games will eventually come. That's what I don't get, it should be pretty simple:
bad numbers: react ( more games, prices cuts, etc )
good numbers: keep the good work.
but for sony is
bad numbers: oh, it's o.k, we only care about holidays 2007 and FFXIII anyway.

For Media-create. For Famitsu, I don't think Layton has been out of the top 10, but I think Wii Sports has been at least once.

No need for freaking out from the gaming media. Hopefully, they can leave freak outs to the boards. But IGN had an article about how it wasn't doing so well in JPN a few weeks back. Trust me, every one that wants to know, knows. It's just that it still is a high price and you at least need to give it a good 6-12 months before all the doom and gloom articles start. Actually, wait til something happens to MGS and FF. Once those get ported or totally dropped, there will be nothing left to hang on. Sony still has them as exclusives but when the become non-exclusive, it'll be real hard for Sony to justify their price tag.
I said it before: Sony is in bad shape. All over the world. The only thing keeping them alive is the promise/hope for some exclusive games. If they lose a majority of those, then you can't ignore the 360 anymore.

So people still refuse to buy anything else than Wii Sports and Wii Play for Wii? I wonder how long the console can survive on those two titles alone.

Tha's because noone cares.
You're not hearing anything because people aren't paying attention to the PS3 outside of enthusiast magazines like Famitsu. Why bother saying "Where are the PS3 games?" when you have the DS and Wii destroying everything you knew about sales charts and the PSP pulling in solid if not spectacular numbers?
All that "brand" speak that GAF touts is bullshit anyway. Your brand will not carry a product that the public does not demand. The PSX was proof of this, and now the PS3 with its absolute dearth of games is proving it again. The end.

Considering Wii Sports has outsold all Japanese PS3 titles combined I'd say they can survive on those for quite a while.
I expect Big Brain Academy to try and emulate the sales pattern for a while though, while Super Paper Mario will sell heaps at first and then linger around the 20s-30s on the charts, a la Twilight Princess.

Also, Pokémon D/P passed 5 million
April 29th - May 5th.

Doesn't matter. It is still around $400. Still too high.XiaNaphryz said:

Brand should help in keeping you successful but if Sony really did think they could rely on brand name, that's retarded. You still have to have games and value to the consumer. You still have to do the heavy work. If anything, they should have seen Xbox's success in NA and understood that they early launch of PS2 and their success in Japan was what pushed them to heaven.

I suppose, but the PS2 launch price was only like $50-60 more wasn't it? I could be remembering wrong.skinnyrattler said:

Oh, you can in Japan, let me assure you. You can in Japan.skinnyrattler said:
If MGS4 gets ported to 360, it will have no effect on the PS3's sales. If FFXIII gets ported to 360, same situation. If either of the two games (moreso FFXIII) are shifted to the Wii (since for control and technical reasons, a port would never do), the PS3 is dead in Japan. DEAD.

Sure, there'd be a few hundred thousand less of the hardcore who feel the need to buy a PS3 since they already bought an X360 for Blue Dragon or whatever.vicious_killer_squirrel said:
EDIT: On second thought those who bought an X360 seem likely to be among those who already bought a PS3.
