This was certainly an impressive showing for Sony beating out the likes of Konami and Namco Bandai to reach the top five. Now if they could just start releasing some triple A titles for the PS3.

Any which way you look at these numbers, Sony is in trouble. Not only is Nintendo winning the console wars in the hearts and minds of retailers and gamers, but Japanese gamers rated the PS3 dead last behind the unpopular Xbox 360. Metal Gear Solid 4 couldn't get here fast enough for Sony.
