Why are we excluding Japan? Especially FFXIII, where it will sell 1-2 million units in week 1.

Fair question. The reason why Japan-only exclusivity is excluded is because we are trying to track global trends and Japan is just too small on its own to affect the global behavior (less than 5% of the weekly sales of the 360 + PS3) .

 



Prediction made on 11/1/2008:

Q4 2008: 27M xbox LTD, 20M PS3 LTD . 2009 sales: 11M xbox,  9M PS3

Current list stands on: 360 3rd Party Exclusives:

  1. Start Ocean 4
  2. The Last Remnant
  3. Kill All Humans
  4. Left 4 Dead
  5. C&C Red Alert
  6. Splinter cell conviction.

PS3 3rd Party Exclsuive:

  1. Valkyria Chronicals
  2. FF XIII VS.

 

Response to previous posts: MGS4 was released in May, FF XIII Japan - is Japan only. We do not count the Wii because the Wii really does not need 3rd party support to be successful. Sonic unleased - removed based on accurate information provided by "whatever".

I guess so, if Gears is considered 2nd party.

Should Last Remnant count? It's coming to PS3.

Fair enough.  My point was that this does not apply to FFXIII where it will sell as much in Japan as in the other regions.

Yes, but in this thread we attempt to evaluate the HW platform success based on 3rd party support. Not the software sales of those titles.
