Why are we excluding Japan? Especially FFXIII, where it will sell 1-2 million units in week 1.

Fair question. The reason why Japan-only exclusivity is excluded is because we are trying to track global trends and Japan is just too small on its own to affect the global behavior (less than 5% of the weekly sales of the 360 + PS3) .

 

Fair enough.  My point was that this does not apply to FFXIII where it will sell as much in Japan as in the other regions.

 

Yes, but in this thread we attempt to evaluate the HW platform success based on 3rd party support. Not the software sales of those titles.

 

I've got to second his point on this one.  I believe this game to sell significant HW numbers not to be ignored in a dwindling HD gaming region.  Not sure if it's exclusivity is bound by contract but Sony will do it's best to push this game which means bundles = more HW sales.  It may even usher in a wave of local support depending on critical/commercial success.
