In news that may instil fear into the heart of Nintendo fanboys, computer and video game website, MVC, is reporting that the PS3 is narrowing the gap in sales that currently exists between the PS3 and Wii in Japan. During October in Japan, the Wii sold over 110,000 units whilst the PS3 managed just over 47,000. This approximately 2-1 ratio in sales is in contrast to previous months where the Wii outsold the PS3 on a ratio of 6-1. More inside A recent drop in the price of the PS3 coupled with increased software are being cited as reasons for the narrowing margin. Will the PS3 catch the Wii in the future? Only time will tell. For now though, the Wii continues to be a worldwide success, including its homeland of Japan.
First gaming experiences were with my older brother playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive. I was about 12 years old when the PS1 and the N64 were just about to be released, and I wanted to get a PS1 based on my experience playing some demo PS1 games at a Video Games Heaven store. On the day we came to lay buy the PS1, they had demo N64 consoles set up in the middle of the shopping centre and we naturally took some time to sample the goods. Dad, who barely played games, decided that the N64 would be a better console and I have never looked back since then. Don't get the time to play games as much as I did when I was younger, though I still enjoy nothing more than sitting back on the couch and being absorbed into a totally different world.
