Yes, in japan.

In the US though, it's not doing the insane sales that the Wii is, but it's pretty successful considering the price and that the PS2 is still alive and kicking.

Re: PS3 finally sells a million consoles in japan

PS3 really just needs some more big name games and it will start doing alot better in japan and the US. those are coming soon. Need more RPG's as well, I mean i havent really heard much about RPG's on the PS3 except for that new one from Sega, Level 5's White Knight Story, and Enchanted Arms. Are there more coming that we just dont know more about yet?

Yes. Square is dead to me, as well.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until FFTA2 comes out.

Wow, that rhymed.

I still think that you have to look into the context of the two systems. The Wii costs have as much so people who aren't brand loyal to one system are going to pick up a Wii. Plus there is the novelty factor of the wiimote.

I will give you that in terms of marketing the two systems and executing a launch Nintendo has basically done everything right while Sony has done everything wrong.

Sorry, Square lost me.

Yes. Square is dead to me, as well.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until FFTA2 comes out.

Wow, that rhymed.

What the heck is wrong with you people? Did you not just witness Square shifting the RPG paradigm with FF12? And to hinge it on FFTA2? For shame. For shame.

Re: PS3 finally sells a million consoles in japan

I never grew up with FF games (except FFI on the NES), so what they do with their straightforward RPGs doesn't interest me that much. I'm more into strat-rpgs, so FFTA2 is the only game they are coming out with that really interests me.

Re: PS3 finally sells a million consoles in japan

FF12 was pretty good.

I'm just not a SE fanboy anymore. They've been putting too much money on FFVII and Nomura.

Edit: Hell come to think of it, I'm not really a fanboy of anything right now. Except maybe Zelda, Metroid, and Mario.

I believe Disgaea 3 is coming for the PS3. that'll be a big help in japan.

If we could get more Tales of _________ games, I'd be content with just that. I prefer RPGs where I fight action style. FF lost me after I played 10. I can't stand that game.
