| TheSource said: This week isn't really that important guys. Next week we get Animal Crossing (Wii), Chrono Trigger (DS), the Gundam v Gundam PSP bundle, and Last Remnant on 360. Its going to be telling. Whether PSP can return above DSi will determine which system is best selling in Japan in 2008 because the rest of 2008 will follow next week. Both are going to be up substantially given that they'll have new games topping 150k. Animal Crossing is looking pretty big. Already looks like a bigger debut than Mario Galaxy. Wii has been slowly trending up anyway, so it should get a 20k boost or something. Chrono Trigger...No idea on that one. It had a huge debut on SNES...ages ago. But then again Kirby Superstar debuted almost identically on DS and SNES despite a decade + gap in time. Chrono Trigger did 2m on SNES though. Last Remnant should push 360 back into the 10,000+ range, and probably near or aboe PS3....the game itself will probably hit somewhere in the high five digit range.

Yes I'd expect AC: CF to give Wii some pretty good boosts. Franchise is quite big there and releasing in a lull meaning it'll be multiplied in popularity. I'd expect anywhere from 300k-500k in the first week and in between 1-1.5 million by the end of the year. Should be Wii's holiday selling title in Japan considering Wii Music is under performing.
Chrono Trigger is a pretty big cult title and I'm thinking it's going to have similar sales to the FF and DQ remakes... possibly more. 500k-600k opener and at least 1 million by the end of the year. Should boost DS decently as well especially considering DSi is out.
PSP boosts from Gundam will be fairly nice as well and might put it at or just below DS/DSi. Two should be quite close. As for Last Remant I'd expect about a 100k opener with 15k-20k 360's next week and then large dropoffs following as usual.
