PS3 Statistics by Famitsu
Thanks to Famitsu, the most respected video game news magazine in Japan, we can give out some statistics about Japanese Gamers’ intentions.
23.9% of Japanese gamers will buy an Xbox 360.
They like a lot Xbox 360’s controller. And, as we recently said in our controller-banana article, they could be right. This controller isn’t enough for us :) we are not monkeys, are we?
Anyway, it’s like 63.2% of japanese gamers will buy a PS3.
A lot of features, a lot of expectations, a lot of hardware, a lot of fun. So… why shouldn’t they buy a Playstation 3? Well… one of the main reasons was… The banana controller! Again! ARGH!
Ok, let’s fix it, my Japanese Sony Friends. Give it triggers, make it bigger and… no bananas!
Now, most interesting thing, 63.2 + 23.9 = 87.1% (yeah, math is my strong point). Meaning that almost all japanese gamers will buy a next generation console… what a country :)
But I would lower the total to 75-80%, as I’m sure that those percentages include people buying both the XBox and Playstation 3.
I’ll go PS3. Did you guess it?

You know I bet you any money that who so ever actually believes the xbox 360 is better than the Ps3 at anything else than being the first loser! They should pretty much go to hell. I’m confident that God agrees with me.

PS3 is going to be the greatest systen ever made, Xbox 360 is no comparison. PS3 is going to have double or triple the graphics that 360 has and is going to have many better games than 360. I bet that PS3 is going to sell more in its first week than 360 did when it first came out until know.!!!!!

Oh dear. Is everyone here 12 years old?
Anyone saying combatively “this one’s great, the other one’s shit” is an idiot.
The fact of the matter is both consoles are absolutely amazing, but unless you have an HD TV, ie LCD/Plasma/DLP, they aren’t worth it as the superb graphics are going to look poor on a standard television set.
Apparently the PS3 is going to be more powerful but is very difficult to develop games for, hence the majority of cross-platform games will be developed for the 360 then ported across to PS3 - the opposite of the relationship between PS2/XBox.
There will be some titles solely for play on one or the other, but apparently it will take 12-18 months before developers get the hang of the sophisticated new tech in PS3 as opposed to PC architecture in the 360, which they already know how to get the best out of.
I’ve got the 360 already and it looks fantastic on my 42″ Samsung HD LCD TV, with it’s 5000:1 colour ratio. I will also buy the PS3 which will also be fantastic.
That’s what happens when you grow up and get a job :P
