The LBP numbers were very low they indicated some 30k with GTA getting 77k.
I do not think the low LBP sales will be indicative but it is a little suprising as I thought this was right up the Japanese street so to speak.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids

The other intriguing thing is that this dramatic decline only appears to be Japan.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids

That may account for a small drop in sales but this is sustained over many weeks. How many wannabe PS3 owners who actually know about this and are waiting, I would imagine only a small number which then says what else is it?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids
1@welshbloke, Is it not possible that Japanese fans are waiting for the 80GB that is being released at the same price as the 40GB?[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 475 ]bids
1welshbloke posted on Industry News at 7:40AM PST on October 31, 2008. RE: Japan Sales: 10/20 - 10/26The 360 sees another week of sales over the PS3 (and the PS2). I really do not know what to make of it and the Sony bosses must be doing some serious head scratching. Thankfully the PSP has picked up the baton.
Yes the 360 is doing better but in all honesty the only reason it continues to outsell the PS3 is because the PS3 is selling way below expectations. If this decline continues then the 360 could be passing the combined PS2/3 numbers which only 7 weeks ago would of been a whacky prediction now it seems to have real substance.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids

I believe that LBP might not have good sales from Japan market. I believe this BEFORE seeing any first day #, and based it on anecdotal evidence about interest. I could be wrong, which is why I didn't have any position on LBP (used to have some 600K DKP short on it, but I changed my mind after hearing about US's interest, and got out of the short.)
