QFT though I wish the Xbox 360 would start outselling the PS3, would be hilarious for sony to be beaten on their home turf.

I don't think they ever had a "bubble;" it sure seems like Japan is one giant Nintendo fanboy, for what ever reason. Here is what I say: Grow up, Japan. Until you realize that games based on every kids'/preteens' show isn't actually "cool," you can't be used as a basis for gaming tallies.

Wait, Sony has 3 of its gaming products in the top half of the chart yet its they're a still failure?

I really think that isnt appropriate. You have to hand it to nintendo, they managed to beat the other companys with other means. Which is hard. PS3 is a good console none the less, but i would imagine its very high price tag and unimaginative controller (straight copy nintendo in terms of motion sensors) and lacking of rumble will put it in a quite a bad position. wii is ouselling ps3 in other countries too. the time for nintendo has come.

P.S japanese people have the same games we have... i dont like it when people sterotype people it can come off offensive.
