The PS3 dead in Japan. Japan is moving away from consoles and towards handhelds. FFXIII will do what ever major PS3 release does in Japan. Sell really well the first week and proceed to free fall down the top 30 sales charts. The companies that produce the games that could help the PS3 the most Namco-Bandai, Capcom, and now even Square Enix seem more than happy to provide those titles for the 360. That alone will keep the PS3's sales down and continue to allow the Wii, which capitalizes on the lack of free time the Japanese public has, to run away from its HD competition.
Actually Final Fantasy titles have always had little legs in Japan. Unfortunately for SE, the PS3's sure base won't allow them to sell 3 million plus during its first week of release. FFXIII will be the first PS3 title to sell a million units in the Japan but it will be just like Ocarina of Time was for N64. It will sell a lot of software but be too late to have any real effect on the hardware market.
