Sales - Japan Up! - View Post

Now, after new PS3 160GB model with FFXIII demo bundle i wonder, what sales PS3 will have in a long term.
Till now, it could getting lower after SF4, Yakuza 3, RE5 and WO before FFXIII demo(because of those, who wnated that bundle), BUT now, there is nothing(except price cut) in Japan what would stop japanese from getting PS3.

Though, Golden week is ahead, and then.. maybe some big announces on E3..
it`s really interesting for how long PS3 will continue having this momentum and continue outselling Wii for months.

Overall, good PS3 sales.
I`m pretty much sure, that THIS year in Japan PS3 will definitely reach around 5 mln. in sales.
Pretty much, PS3 will reach 4 mln. before FFXIII release, and have over 5 mln. if it will have a pricecut in summer or autumn.
5 mln. userbase is a very good number for FFXIII. =)
