A comparison of the post-price cut Japanese sales figures for the major consoles reveals that PS3 sales have rocketed 707% compared to the same period a year earlier, whilst Xbox 360 sales have actually decreased 70%, in spite of price cuts. The figures (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/goto/http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1228790_1124.html), based on Enterbrain data:
PS3: 707%
PSP: 126%
Wii: 29%
360: -70%
All these consoles have had their prices slashed recently, with effects ranging from extreme in the case of the PS3, to completely ineffectual (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/10/09/xbox-360-sales-collapse-completely/) in the case of the Xbox 360, which now appears to be in an irrecoverable position (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/09/17/xbox-360-finished-in-japan/) in Japan.
Of course, nobody expects this boost for the PS3 to be permanent, although the release of Final Fantasy XIII (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/09/28/final-fantasy-xiii-nipple-exposure/) is just around the corner…
