It seems that many are turning away the PS3 in favor of the DS and the Wii. God, they really should review their marketing strategies if Sony wants their games console to sell better.

Previously, we ran photos of unsold PS3s in Tokyo. To shed more light on the situation, here's a collection of photos taken at retailers in Osaka's Den-Den Town. The area is Osaka's gaming and electronics district, and these pictures were taken at retailers like Sofmap, Big Tiger, Super Potato, a-Too and even 7-11. (Yes, 7-11 in Japan sells video game consoles.) The above pic is from Sofmap, and the sign says the Wii and the DS Lite are sold out; they have PS3 units in stock. A $#@!tail of high price, bad press and lackluster titles might be driving customers away. Expect sales to pick up as new games start to flesh out the line-up. More photos after the jump, make of them what you will

I don't know how Sony could possibly think the mass market is going to shell out $600 for a console. Even if people want it, most can't afford it.
right time to make a trip to japan to get me one of them consoles
i see sales picking up in the next couple of months its just everyones out of pocket atm due to christmas
of course the PS3 is gonna do well in japan, they don't buy X-Box's and not everyone would settle for just a Wii so they don't really have a choice if they want a true next gen console (spec wise).
well im jst glad i have mine. lol
had to help pay for my christmas present how bout that
