FFXII did 1.9M and that was supposedly rubbish, although I liked it. If it releases xmas 2008 in Japan the ps3 should have a userbase of atleast 5M HARDCORE gamers, the sought of people who go out and buy FF games first week.

You can say the PS2 had a userbase of 20M, but FF fans are mainly hardcore gamers so would have already bought a PS3 for FFXIII or will buy a PS3 for the game.

How do you figure?

The PS3 has been out for (nearly) 11 Months and has only sold 1.2 Million units in Japan and the low software sales implies that quite a few of these people bought it as a Blu-Ray player; over the next 13 months the PS3 will be lucky to sell an additional 2.5 Million units in Japan which would also be made up of quite a few people who bought it as a Blu-Ray player.

Basically, the PS3 will be lucky to have 3 Million gamers in Japan by the end of 2008 ...
