In 11th of November 2006, Play Station(PS) 3 was launched in Japanese market. Before the launch, no one expected the PS3 would get such a cold treatment from the world game market since it was considered to be a sole legitimate successor of Play Station(PS) 2, which was the ‘Winner’ in the world market. Wii from Nintendo which was introduced in the market at around the same period gained a remarkable success in the market with overwhelming sales number and popularity, especially in Japanese market.

The market response to PS3 is quite different from previous models, even though it is not easy to compare PS3 to PS and PS2, only with their sales number; in case of PS, it was a new and late participant in the market so that it should implement a quick-returns policy. And PS2 had achieved a rocket start based on the success of the previous model, the PS. PS3 is not a cheap and easy-software-developable as PS, and not the best performing platform without any competition as PS2. The past name of PS2 as the market dominant player is fading out and the current market dominance is almost handed over to Nintendo DS.
However, there are people still expecting PS3 to have exploding period in the near future. Hamamura, a game guru who has kept his eye on the Japanese game market from the beginning of it, anticipates that the time of PS3 will arrive soon.

The Sony PS was launched just two weeks after its rival system Sega Saturn. In order to succeed in the presence of both Sega and the superiorly managed Nintendo(which was selling Nintendo Famicom at the time and later the Nintendo 64), Sony had no choice but to launch its system before either rivals launched new models.
