PS3 Sales slump in Japan.
The unthinkable has happened and PS3 sales dipped over the last week.
Even the old PS2 is outselling it, and the Wii is simply whooping it's arse with a giant eel.

Coming in at 8,839 units for the week, the PS3 was beaten by the PS2's 10,414 units and the PSP's 34,433 units. Despite continued supply problems, Nintendo's platforms slaughtered all three PlayStation platforms, with the DS pushing 163,785 units and the Wii 52,544 units.

The PS3 did beat the Xbox 360's 2,105 units for the week. Although the gap is certainly getting closer than anyone would have expected prior to last November's PS3 launch.

Re: PS3 Sales slump in Japan.
it's their own fault.. they should've made a better console, and ditched the expesnive blue ray. i mean, why is it there? if i had the kit to be able to watch blue ray dvds (i mean the screen and sound system) then i'd want a dedicated player to play the discs - not a console that happens to be able to play them too!!

Re: PS3 Sales slump in Japan.
I'm not surprised at all. I don't know anyone that has bought one. The price is ridiculous and hard to justify.

Re: PS3 Sales slump in Japan.
I think a big problem is the still lacklustre games line up, the only game I've seen which has got me interested is LittleBigPlanet.
