PS3 beats the snot out of 360 sales... in Japan

Now, I don't remember where I saw it, but there was a Famitsu "most-wanted" list for Japan — the top 10 or 20 games people were looking forward to. My eyes practically fell out of my head when I saw two 360 games on the list. "Why, whatever could they be?" I wondered half-heartedly as I read the titles. Go figure. They were the two RPG titles, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey — correct us if we got the names wrong, please! Microsoft, you crafty swine/vixen! You're starting to understand — games with big guns and drab gray atmospheres aren't universally accepted as awesome. That was a big aside, but it sort of relates.

Even with the 360 grabbing two of the most-wanted slots in Famitsu, the consoles aren't selling like hot cakes just yet — or should we say rice balls? Unless hot cakes are like warm balls o' rice. Shut up, I'm just trying to be ethnic. Recently, just a month after its release, the PS3 has topped the 360 in yearly sales. The 360 sold about 180,000 units its first year, while the PS3 has already tossed out 190,000 — which is surprising, because just think if Sony actually delivered the numbers initially promised. Don't get us wrong, this isn't a comparison to the 360 (but someone is bound to make it that! My bets on a 360fanboy!). It's more of a "what if Sony actually did what it said at first?" hypothesis. Would it still hover around 190,000, or would it have jumped up another 100,000 or so?
