It's probably a real one and if not it probably will be in six months. It didn't sell well enough for Square to justify keeping it as a 360 exclusive especially in Japan. Ninja Gaiden II and Vesperia ar both coming to the PS3 and the PS3 has demonstrated that it can be the biggest console in Japan, so why not?

I'm sorry, but I must've missed where the PS3 sold over 8 million units of hardware in Japan...

 

 lol   He didn't say PS3 overtook the install base from Wii in Japan, don't lose your waggle there. Key words is that "it can be the biggest console in japan" and we can clearly see that with the sales report from this week.

We see it can be the biggest console in Japan because it got a big hardware boost when the demo for FF13 was released? ... Right. One game does not a console make, no matter how big the boost is. It's going to get an even bigger boost when the actual game is released ... Still won't be the biggest console in Japan. Was a pretty inaccurate statement.

No one said it was the biggest console in japan, that's the point. The point is that it has the "potential" to the biggest console there. The potential comes from software and price.

It's not just about a demo raising the hw, the past 3 months PS3 oustold Wii cause of software and the Wii's lack of new software. Throw in a price cut and trends can always change. I am not saying it's gonna sell over 8 million, but PS3 can definately take a piece of the Wii's cake in Japan. This weeks sales and the past 12 weeks for that matter shows that.
