@6

Don't worry, look at the August NPD numbers.  The PS3 slim had only 1-2 weeks of being out there and the increase in sales was very noticeable.  September will be very good for the PS3.  Not a single 360 nor Wii game can hold a candle to the upcoming PS3 exclusives, led by Uncharted 2 and GoW 3.  I am also very excited for Demon's Soul and whenever White Knight Chronicles comes out in the US.  I just love RPGs.

@14: The Slim wasn't out in August (although some stores sold it early).  The August NPD numbers were increased because of the price cut in the final week or two of the PS3 Fat models (80GB and 160GB).  The September numbers should blow away the August numbers as it includes a full month of the new Slim.

@9 No they said it right, the psp sales have risen by over 2500 from the previous week.

and I'm loving this, just like it's been said, sony will rise back to the top.

 The Wii lost steam in Japan months ago. Even Nintendo commented on it. Fads die quicker over there.

This late in the console wars, these numbers aren't exactly wow... but the ratios are more expected. If the other consoles had higher sales earlier it means they have a large install base. These new larger sales for the PS3 are most likely people purchasing their third console, not their first. I mean it IS great, but not remarkable.

Sony once said they weren't going to be successful overnite with the PS3 and that they had a ten year plan, from their perspective it isn't all that late in the console war. Look at the PS2, it still successful and it came out when, late 2001, 2002? When the time comes for MS and Nintendo (if they choose to) to release a more powerful system, Sony won't have to.

next month when uncharted 2 get release the sales should jump again. Who are these people that are still buying the ps2

I wonder if these sales for Japan are counting sales on military bases too?  Ever since the price drop of the PS3, M$ has been slashing Elite prices by 50 bucks, and the pro model as well.  Of course its just temporary, but the 360 stack has not budged in nearly 3 weeks.

Good to see the ps3 taking off, and good on sony for sticking to their guns with a 10 year plan.  The Wii seems to be stalling already after what 3 years?

 This site contiues to make me laugh.  No great articles, decent reviews, and every other post is how Sony is ousting the competition.  As Seinfeld would say, "We get it, ok?  Your doing very well."  Stop posting about the numbers...and start writing and producing better articles.

no wonder Microsoft and Nintendo drop the price. they know if if they don't, everybody will go back to Sony and the AAA first party titles. :P

who cares about japan, what about here in the US? Thats what counts. Japan is about the size of a state (in fact some states are bigger).

@14 You're correct, my bad.  It was just the reduced "fat" PS3s.

@35 Wow, US ignorance showing up again.  Japan is the world's 2nd largest economy and Tokyo is the world's largest metropolitan area so yes, Japan matters and a lot.

Damnn, beaten to the top by the crappy DSi >:(

Obviously japan is a very vital spot for sony, as they can get a vague Idea of what is selling over there, and hopefully reflect it over here in europe (and americas)
