A comparison of the post-price cut Japanese sales figures for the major consoles reveals that PS3 sales have rocketed 707% compared to the same period a year earlier, whilst Xbox 360 sales have actually decreased 70%, in spite of price cuts.
The figures, based on Enterbrain data:
PS3: 707%
PSP: 126%
Wii: 29%
360: -70%
All these consoles have had their prices slashed recently, with effects ranging from extreme in the case of the PS3, to completely ineffectual in the case of the Xbox 360, which now appears to be in an irrecoverable position in Japan.
Of course, nobody expects this boost for the PS3 to be permanent, although the release of Final Fantasy XIII is just around the corner…

'Colour' or 'color', it's still the same sing, you dumb shit.
SUCK IT!!!! PS3 Wins!...Fatality! All you fuckin' Elitest XBOX lovers- PS3 eats your lunch!...Shove that RED RING up your ass SUCK BOX!
Oh yeah, I hear XBOX is gonna add Blu-Ray to it's New 360's...Why not try having NO Red Ring of Death type issues. Blow Me Xbox! My PS2 still works like new!
^lol, its only the japanese market. Who cares about a small market like that?! Europe and America... thats whats important.
btw: the rrod issues have stopped since the elite came out. It's gettin old and the first gen of PS2's had discdrive issues. I know for myself and from 3 friends who had a broken discdrive after a year or a year and a half. So, nobodys perfect. That's what the warranty is for. lol

Assuming we're speaking English, it's colour.
The Japanese market is also where the best game developers in the world comes from, so it does matter.
It's color you damn Britfag.
thank god for coloUr
and the proper use of the English language
and it's protections from the perverted uses by those dame colonials
Haha
A person that spells "damn" as "dame" repeatedly should not be commenting on languages or their uses.
hate to tell you, but we have not been a colony for a good while. i forget, what happened? that's right, we kicked England's ass :D
AMERICA FUCK YEAH!
And yet America still tries to call what they speak in as 'English'...weird eh?
>that's right, we kicked England's ass
If by "we" you mean the ancestors of some americans (I mean the colonists) than you are probably right, as far as history goes.
But I don't think you ever kicked the ass of some country,...
In all seriousness it's spelled 'color'.
You need to remember America fought without honor while the English did.
"Alright gentlemen, we'll be courteous and give you the first round of firing. After taking casualties, we will counterattack with reduced numbers, and take turns from there."
Is that the "Honor" the British soldiers battled with? Sounds like stupidity.
Historical blinders on a few of these pathetic comments eh? Regardless of everything already written here, America made it FINANCIALLY infeasible for England to continue and we where freed for it.
By the by, we still -till those libatards fuck us all over- are the only SUPER POWER in the whole FUCKING world thanks to that "cowboy" back in the '80s.
"Color" or "Colour". Spell it the way you wish too, since that word started about the time when the English where fucking the french women and blood got mixed around. Words followed and got fucked up by the English since they got tired of spelling shit out cooked up by the french, who themselves Fucked up Latin to make their own fucking language.
Got the Fucking point?
You realise that honor means nothing on the battlfeild it's kill or be killed. Furthermore weren't the british burning civilian buildings in the revolution? Honor is a joke in war and if your ass comes walking out in a line on a open battlfeild with no cover wearing a fucking big red coat using napoleonic tactics taking turns with parlays JRPG style your ass deserves to be shot.
Both sides used traditional fighting styles and both sides used tree line snipers (unconventional warfare), technically speaking the British did have a certain code. When they had who was supposedly Washington in their sights they didn't fire due to his rank, which American's didn't care they intentionally shot officers.
Also both color and colour are in an American dictionary.
honour not honor
Wow you guyz are totally off topic, if you want to blabber on use the fucking forums. This is about is the PS3 sales after its price-cut may I remind you people.
Canadians and English kicked your ass durring War of 1812, suck on that.
thank god for ignoring punctuation and capitalisation
and the incorrect use of an apostrophe in it's
and protection that doesn't require an s
dame should be damned (not damn)
This is still more interesting than PS3 sales figures.
Hey, grammar morons, both color and colour, an honor and honour, are viable uses of the words, so quit your pointless arguing. The whole Britain VS US thing only makes it worse. It's like cracker vs biscuit. You sound like a bunch of kids. This is the internet you morons, nobody gives a FUCK about grammar. Also, historical correction, for those interested, the American colonies didn't kick Englands ass on their own. They got ALOT of help from the French. They never would have won otherwise, since 40% of the American population(not counting Indians) were neutral to the Declaration of Independance, and 20% were against it, ergo loyal to the British Crown, meaning only 40% were for it. This is kinda important. Oh, and don't ask me to take sides, since I'm Scandinavian, and wouldn't give a shit in either outcome. Just trying to be historically correct here.
How moronic would have to be to try and tell the English they're getting the English language wrong.
This is exactly what people mean when they call Americans stupid and arrogant.
+1
+10
Who isn't stupid and arrogant at some point in their lives?
the French
+9001 @ the french
True that anon, the french are Always utter morons 24/7.
Thanks for pointing that out!
The English getting something wrong?
The original spelling is "couleur". *smirk*
I really like how a single word threw this COMPLETELY off topic haha.
Exitium: "Who isn't stupid and arrogant at some point in their lives?"
Anon: "the French"
Dingus: "True that anon, the french are Always utter morons 24/7. Thanks for pointing that out!"
lol fail
Who cares, really. This is like comparing a person named Chris and Kris. Still human, sounds the same.
Kris is wrong way
Only parents with a grudge against their kid spell it Kris rather then Chris.
Don't even get me started on "Krys".
"How would you like your chicken ?"
"Chris pee, please"
