The people who are disagreeing with you are far more right than you are though as they never made the original claim without any relative substantial evidence.

 

      So, you are expecting that this gen's Final Fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo 5 will sell significantly less copies in Japan than versions on earlier consoles?  If so, what evidence are you basing that claim on?

 

1.  I made no claim

2.  You made the claim and have still not provided relative substantial evidence

I have no idea what impact either game will have but the likelyhood of those games being released in 2009 as many have already stated is slim.

 

 2.  I provided sales numbers for past games in the series on past consoles.  In almost any sociology course they teach you that you can get a good idea of what will happen in the future by looking at what has happened in the past.

     Square said FFXIII was going to release in Japan in 2009 earlier this year

And 2 out of 4 Gran Turismo games have launched in late November or in December in Japan including Gran Turismo 2 (11-30-1999) and Gran Turismo 4 (12-28-2005), so it would make sense to assume that Gran Turismo 5 will be released 5 years after Gran Turismo 4 and possibly on the 10th anniversary of Gran Turismo 2 (11-30-2009), and if it's not quite done according to Polyphony Digitals standards by then, Sony will still probably force it out the door, so they don't miss these important dates with a plan to patch it later.

Look in the righthand column where it says release dates.

All in All this is shaping up to be the biggest holiday season for the Playstation line of consoles worldwide since 2001 when Grand Theft Auto 4, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2, Baldur's Gate:  Dark Alliance, Devil May Cry, and Jak and Daxter:  The Precursor Legacy were all released within a few weeks of each other.
