MGS4 did some moving on PS3 hardware//Final Fantasy I doubt that would cause any movement considering the confusion of Final Fanasy XIII being on the 360 also. And who knows if Microsoft will try to spit some more dough to Square Enix to release Final Fantasy XIII on the 360 in Japan//GT5 will improve but some of these games that already made a name for themselves are starting to wear thin. So let's just see what sales these games alone do.

Side note: inFamous looks freaking awesome!!! I just watched the trailers on Gametrailers.com//Just wow!!!

FF are you joking, it will move tons of consoles in Japan, there is no way it wont happen. CC moved the 77,777 LE PSP consoles in like a week, and FF is one of the biggest franchises ever

GT 5 Prologue moved many consoles, 5 will. All previous entries have reached nearly 10m or more, the lowest main series game is at 9.37m, I have no doubt these games will move consoles

 

How many people who are hardcore Gran Turismo or Final Fantasy fans already own a PS3 though? Many of them have probably already picked the system up in anticipation of those games (GT5 Prolouge is also already out). 

This sounds exactly like Nintendo fans during the GameCube era. Wait for Super Mario Sunshine! Wait for Zelda! Wait for Resident Evil 4! etc. etc. etc. They got boosts, sure, but it was never a sustained push, and the same thing has happened to the PS3. 

I call it "third place-itis" only difference is this generation around it's Sony that got it.
