Since it's launch, the PS3 has sold less than half a million units in Japan. Wii, has sold double that, and the 360 has sold half of Sony since it's launch. Sucks for everyone but Nintendo, huh? Found it kinda ironic that Sony hasn't done too hot even on it's home turf.

is it buggy or expensive..?

Well... Anything Microsoft or Sony is "buggy and expensive" XD

It's kind of hard for the PS3 to match Wii sales when the Wii has nearly twice the quantities as PS3. At the same time, popularity does seem to be easier to see when looking at auction bids. Whereas the Wii is still going for nearly 150% to 220% of its retail price, the PS3 and 360 are going for nearly 110% to 135% of its retail price (at last check).

Nintendo's even had to alter its DS and GBA plans because of "higher than expected" sales XD It's kind of bad when they say they can keep up with demand to production speed and the public disagrees.

I thought xbox 360's have sold the most so far here in the U.S.?

That's cause it's been out for a year longer.
