In terms of overall quality of games etc, then it'll be interesting.

Japan sewn up? HA I don't know what you've taken but you could not be so wrong...

Japan is the market where the PS3 is most likely to lose it's lead anywhere else in the world. FF is not a launch title nor is DQ and MGS is not as big and doesn't sell as well as it does outside of Japan not to mention it isn't even a launch title.

What Japense consumer titles is going to entice buyers? Heavenly Sword? A blatant rip-off of God of War?

Over the past 2 years...the biggest franchises in Japan have been Animal Crossing, FF, DQ and Brain-Training.

Guess what? Nintendo have all of those... two of them might be off-shoots but atleast Nintendo has RPG's at launch for the Wii in DQ and FF.

Sony will most likely still hold their position in US and Europe...

Sony have managed to give Japan to Nintendo though on a nice plate...through a) a lack of good titles that the Japanese market is wanting and b) Sony is having an open price is Japan for the PS3 and the Japenese consumer will be raped...even worse then the European consumer.

I'm just don't tend to reply to your posts dude, sorry. I mean, I read them. I find them, um, interesting, but I just can't reply.

We'll all come back in two years and have a nice long look at the sales figures, and go from there.

You can't reply?

I believe you too...I wouldn't be able to explain how Sony are going to get Japan back after the Wii launches over there.

you actually read them? :o

anyone who thinks the ps3 won't outsell the 360 or the wii (or maybe even both combined) are absolutely deluded btw.

Can someone confirm that the PS3 is wireless.... that is the only reason why I would upgrade from the PS2

Er...and what happens when the PS3 emerges with the real Square-Enix titles? It's all well and good for nintendo to come with a strong launch lineup unlike their previous endeavors, but Sony is going to still continue to hold its own in regards to players who'll want traditional RPG's played in the traditional manner. I just don't see any massive shift having occurred in the market-shares overall once all the dust settles.

Btw, I wonder if Nintendo is going to require multiple DS' in order to make full use of the multi-player for Crystal Chronicles? That would be so awesome if they pulled that again.

I'm sure the bosses of Atari, SEGA and Nintendo thought the idea anybody could beat them was deluded aswell.

In saying that though I still feel the PS3 will be the winner. But i wouldn't say it's a given.

[retired_lilliepf]

who cares who the winner, i will buy which has the games that i like.

i could care less who sells more units
