Forums - Sales Discussion - Famitsu sales (2/2 - 8/2)

PSP numbers dropped slightly, which is understandable considering there's new colours coming on 3/5 and 3/21, not to mention Dynasty Warriors Multiraid, Idol Master, Basara, Persona, and Gundam vs. game.



And then there is Dragon Quest 9 for DS which is bound to increase HW sales.

PS3's got Yakuza 3 and RE5

SO4 and RE5 should improve x360 sales as well.

Not so sure about Wii, is there anything big coming in the near future?

Ps3 has FF7ACC + FF13 demo too



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yeah, I forgot that. Should be a good next few months for PS3 in Japan.



I think this year we can expect the PS3 to have 4M consoles LTD by the end of the year. Especially with FFXIII and whatever else they have in store for JPN this year

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Wow sony came on strong this week.



Pretty low week all around, nothing impressive aside from Demon's Soul.



Bet - "PES 2009 (PS3) will sell (closer to) 150k first week in Japan" - Pooperscopper
"It will sell closer to 125k" - Me I agree.
ME = OWNED :(

End of '09 Predictions:

Wii: 78 million
X360: 35 million
PS3: 27 million

X360 sold zero... that's just bad =/



 

 

 

 

 

It's very nice to see Sony in the lead =D

And HW is becoming a steady 15k+, which is nice.

Incidentally, PS3 passed Dreamcast final shipment number (2.8m) the previous week. It's next target is Mega Drive's 3.58m. X360's 0.92m closing in on Neo Geo's 1m, it shouldn't take too long to pass that. Everything else is in no mans land.
