Ok.. what we have now for HD consoles:
http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS3&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=Japan&start=39446&end=39663&weekly=1
it`s like from 1,69 mln. at the begining of the year went to 2,25 mln. after 6 months. That is 0.56 mln. in 1st part of 2008.

During that time Japan got DMC4, Disgaea 3 then Yakuza 3, Valkyrie Chronicles and MGS4.
Now, what is left for the 2nd part of 2008:
Afrika
Eternal Sonata
Cross Edge
LittleBigPlanet
Naruto: Ultimate Storm
Tekken 6

And with Christmas Boost it should easy cross 3 mln. and reach 3,2 mln. by the end of 2008. That is 0.75-0,95 mln. in the 2nd part of 2008 and Total 1,3-1,5 mln. in 2008.

Will that be enough for Sony? Will LBP ant Tekken 6 have any BIG effect on sales, that will help PS3 to get into 3.5-4 mln. sales?
Should we expect any pricecut in Japan or 80GB model will be more, then enough? =) Is there any chance for Resistance 2 and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift to have any effect on sales? Or maybe some western multiplatform games will help for PS3 sales? =)

What sales do you expect? =]

First of all,

"PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2008 with average weekly sales 40k.
PS3 will reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2008 with average weekly sales 60k."

LOL

none of those games will give the PS3 a bump in sales, MGS was suppose to be its saviour but one month after its release and sales are back down to -15k

I don't see anything big happening for the PS3 for its sales to stay above 10k up until christmas.
