I predict that 2009 will be the year that PS3 finally becomes relevant in Japan. They've got some huge releases coming this year such as Naruto in January, Demon's Souls + Street Fighter IV + Yakuza 3 in February, Resident Evil 5 + Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete/Final Fantasy XIII Demo in March, and finally Final Fantasy XIII + Gran Turismo 5 in Q4.

I have a feeling that Japan is going to start being PS3's equivalent to the 360's America. That being a region where they beat 360 by around 30,000 every week.

 

Yeah, the PS3 sales will be good in Q1. But starting in april, there aren't many PS3 games releasing...

Starting in April, there aren't many ANYTHING games releasing. At least none that we know about yet. We'll find out a lot more about Q2 and Q3 releases by the end of Q1.

We still don't have Japanese release dates for Killzone 2 or Quantum Theory, not that I expect either to do spectacular there. Clap Hanz should be releasing a new Hot Shots Golf for PS3 sometime this year too. That would make for a good oasis for PS3 in Japan during the summer drought.
