In this completely unrealistic scenario, that heavily favors sony you get...20 million. A generous 20 million extra units sold. By the end of 08, early 09. In addition to the modest sales of it so far. Nintendo will have over 20 million by march. Face it, those few high end games aren't going to move the system that much. Not everybody that bought Gran Turismo 4 is going to buy a PS3 to play GT5, and if they did some of them would also cross blend into the Final Fantasy crowd. 20 million is a highly inflated number. It's too little too late. |
huh, somehow i fit in this category. bought ffxii but none of the others, will be forking $$ to get ffxiii and ffxiii versus when they come out. though hopefully for <$500 by then... since they're a long way off. i am also going to get gran turismo 5... yay.
You Spoony Bard!
