We'll have to wait and see what the results are over the next few weeks before we can say whether this game was successful or not. It could be pushing a few systems, who knows, or it could be selling quickly to current PS3 owners with nothing to play and thus have very short legs. Time will tell how well it does, all we can tell right now is it isn't the PS3 savior Sony fanboys believed it would be. As an example, if GM made $100 million one year and $200 million the next then by your % analysis GM had a "major increase". However, for a company with $150-200 billion in annual sales only the GM PR spinmeisters would make such a claim. For a company that sold 300-400k systems on average a month for the last 12 years in Japan to go from 35k to 55k is not exactly impressive. It is good and moving in the right direction but it isn't anything to popping champagne corks over. |
150k games sold in japan for the first day on the ps3 is unbelieveble considering software sales have been on the low end for the ps3 in japan. All I want to see is how much the hardware sales went up for the ps3 this week in japan.
