1. Banjo Kazooie is not a massive system seller.
2. Falout 3/Fable 2? the Japanese are not big fans of WRPG's, and therefore, those won't give big bumps/sell lots of systems.
3. GTA 4/the GTA series have a rather centered and small following in Japan. Besides, it's a multiplat that will do far better on the PS3.
4. So, when the shortages are fixed, and 360's resupplied, you expect it to sell 200k/8 weeks. Sure...

Those arguments are laughable.

 

 

I agree with you for the most part, and honestly the 360 and zero chance on hitting 1 million this year. Next year it will hit that figure easily, but not this year. However, I was surprised at Oblivion's Japanese sales - both the 360 and the PS3 versions did surprisingly well for a WRPG. With the general lack of JRPGs on consoles this gen, I wonder if WRPGs can make some advances into the Japanese market.
