Japan: PS3, Wii poll comparisons

Sony and Nintendo can try to differentiate their target markets, but the reality is that their upcoming consoles will still compete against one another. That's obvious, but if recent Japanese anticipation polls say anything, it's that Japanese gamers prefer to wait for the strong PlayStation brand until a "significant PS3 price-drop." In the interim, they could be swooping up Wiis if the console's motion controls and virtual console deliver.

They werent even looking in Nintendos direction, but they are worried now.

Everyone in Japan wants a Wii, how suprising, they want the DS too!

DS is crack over there, seriously I've seen ppl fighting over their nintendo dogs

[Dick Jones]

EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

As I've said before

Japan Wii on top, 360 and PS to follow
Rest of the world: 360 on top, Wii 2nd because there are much Wii60 fans and after that the overexpensive betablurayplayer PS64

this poll is old. posting the same poll all the time does not make it correcter. i bet there is a error +- 70%.

[omansteveo]

correcter?..its more correct.

looks like pac-man is eating the ps3

I think this poll only reflects the sentiments of the Japanese people and their reaction to the steep price of the PS3. I think that after a couple of major RPGs hit the PS3, you will see a change of heart amongst the Japanese consumers. Have they ever been able to resist the call of FF or DQ? I don't think so.

At first there will be a limited stock of the PS3 and the Wii so they will both sellout. Besides polls are only based on a small number of the populous in an area and is not deemed as fact by any means. For all we know these polls were only asked to people who were partial to the Nintendo brand instead of Sony fans. But I will wait for after launch to see what happens and ignore all of these polls.

The ONLY problem the japanese have with the ps3 is its price. The anticipation for it is definately there, unlike xbox 360

Those results shouldnt be too surprising. They have always loved nintendo products.

It by no means looks bad for sony, the japanese want the ps3, they just dont want the pricetag

Nintendo is headed for some very good times in japan

Microsoft might aswell give up now in japan, cos if they havent sold enough there now, they're never gonna outsell the ps3 and wii at launch

[Mikey_Gee]

That statistics say 99% of all statistics are bullsh!t

** ONLY TIME ... and nothing else ... will really tell.

Price will be major but the japanese are waiting to see if FF and DQ and a couple others will make it for sure to the ps3, I think if not then it will really be a land slide and the XBOX 360 will have p/u momentom by then with a few well placed titles there.
