If MGS4 can only bump the PS3 to 77k how do you expect GT5 do do anything substantial ...?
and before you say MGS is nothing in Japan, the previous MGS games topped around 800k there ... not far off the 1 million for GT you mentioned.
As for FF ... all the people that buy VS will buy the other one ... or whichever one is out first ... it wont be 1.5M million for 13 then another 1.5M for VS |
Judging from the sales of FFX and FFXII, FFXIII should sale far more than 1.5 million copies of FFXIII, so if both FF Versus XIII and XIII only do 3 million each and only sell to to same people, that's still at least 1.5 million to add to the PS3's number plus 500,000 for GT5, so that still puts the PS3 at a 5:1 ratio against the 360 in Japan. Which might not be 7:1 but that is still a pretty bad figure against the 360 considering it probably won't get a top notch Japanese exclusive for the rest of the gen following that. And, as a matter of fact, we're seeing at a 3:1 ratio for the PS3 in Japan many of the 360's exclusives are no longer 360 exclusives see Vesperia and NG II both announced ad headed to the PS3 in the past week.

Enchanted Arms and Eternal Sonata got ported to the PS3 way before the Sony console had a 3:1 advantage over the 360.
How about you respond to the point of my previous post in which I said that the 360's install base in Japan was, is and will be pretty much irrelevant for the decisions of publishers? You should know that nearly all of those former 360 exclusives were moneyhatted by Microsoft. That's a more important factor than install bases in Japan.

Yeah, the 360's install base will be pretty much irrelevant to publishers in Japan because they will have seen from Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean that Japanese games just don't generate much money in Japan on the 360 in regards to what they do and will have the potential to do on the PS3 over there at the end of this year when the PS3 to 360 ration in Japan will be 5-7:1. So after FF Versus XIII releases in June of 2010 exclusively on PS3 in Japan there will be no more exclusive jrpgs coming to the 360.
