Well part of that 28 million results from more exclusives coming to the PS3 from Japanese studios while the PS3 and 360 continue to get basically the same Western games providing an impetus for more people that want to play Japanese type games to pick up a PS3. Since the Japanese games we've seen so far on 360 don't seem to sell that well as the console's owners are mainly western shooter fans when the PS3 / 360 divide becomes 5 or more million units for the PS3 in Japan after the release of FFXIII and GT5 over there (and possibly goes up to 7 million after FF Versus XIII) while the 360 probably won't have passed 1.5 million in Japan by then, most Japanese developers will switch almost totally to making their hd rpgs as PS3 exclusives. The other part comes from the fact that Gears 3 will probably be a 720 exclusive and the death knell for 360 development will come about to make way for other games on the new console. |
Well, you give me hope then. Because some people said that my prediction was entirely unrealistic, its great to see there are more ambitious people than I. But really now, Japanese games without the words 'Nintendo' on the cover have done all of zero in the home console market when compared to games which really sell systems. Also most Japanese developers seem quite content and busy with making Wii/DS/PS2/PSP games and not PS3 games.
I hope you're unaware that Microsoft controls all the I.P. for their console that they would ever need and thus they could probably profitably sell the console for many many many years right? Because if you are aware that they control such I.P then really I would have to question your sanity. Heck even if Gears 3 comes to the PS3 it won't really change anything, the game has already established its fanbase.
Tease.
