| stevechan said: I dun think 360 can sell more than 15k during the release week of IU. Most of the hardcore JRPG fans already get their 360 during the launch of ToV, and just have a check on the total sales of Tales of series on Wii, i dun think the LTD sales of Tov in Japan can pass 180k,maybe not even 160k. As for IU,since this is a new IP,predict 360 sales will boost up to almost 6~9k during the release week. LTD sales of IU in Japan should be around 100k. |
He's not saying that it will be because of IU(though that might be a small boost), but because on 9/11 is the price cut of the 360 in Japan (Arcade to 19800 yen from 27800 yen and the Elite down to 39800 yen from 47800 yen, roughly in line with the US price cut) as well as the introduction of the 60gb 360 at 29800 yen. 9/11 is also when the new shipments of 360's should be arriving from MS as they are pretty much sold out in most places in Japan at the moment, which should add to the spike.
To the guy who said that the Wii is supply constrained, well it's not at all here in Japan. It's very easy to find a Wii here. Now during the holidays that might change, but it's been easy to find for quite awhile now.
