@OP: The console Monster Hunters have never been that popular. The PSP ones are so successful because of the local wi-fi play between friends.

Tbh, I think that a slim ps3 + FFXIII will have a similar effect on the ps3's sales in Japan as MH had on the PSP. It won't have quite as large an impact, but it will have a substantial one.

i dont think people really understand the importance of the slim version of things.  when did the ps2 make its biggest jump?  with the slim version (yes, thats worldwide).  the ds? the psp?  the ds and psp were not accompanied by price cuts (not sure about ps2).

i think a remodel is the most under rated factor in a system's selling rate.
