Yeah, I've come up with a plausible prediction. You're just trying to get on the PS3 is doomed bandwagon. There's not much we can do about it now except talk about it back and foirth all night. By 1-1-2010 after GT5 and XIII release later this year, over 4 million PS3s will have been sold in Japan. If it doesn't happen, I'll give you half my vgchartz money on that day and if it does give me half of yours. |
I don't jump on any bandwagon... I'd just on the Wii is doomed bandwagon the same as I would the PS3 is doomed bandwagon which is to say I won't and will never do that. >_> You were saying between 5 and 7 million because of some software that isn't that big of a deal in Japan... it'll boost a few weeks of hardware much like I showed you Monster Hunter did for PSP but it didn't push 1 million consoles like you said it gave a boost of 60k which dropped until it was back to normal.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite moved several million units in Japan and for longer than a one week period. Freedom Unite which is still selling PSPs and Crisis Core were the big reasons PSP came back to life in Japan last year and pretty much beat both the DS and Wii in Japan last year until DSi was released and yet the PSP continues to sell far more consoles each week in Japan than does the Wii because of the Monster Hunter Freedom Unite effect.
Also, I didn't see you agree to put your money where your mouth is on the topic, so I suggest you just step off.

*I make an absurd claim* *I lower my claim so I can make a bet* *I pretend to be superior to look cool in front of other people*
Jesus you must not know how to game sales/console sales lingo your posts make no damn sense. Monster Hunter the game sold millions of copies in Japan, it didn't sell millions of PSP system units, it improved sales of the PSP for a few weeks and then it went back down to normal each time a Monster Hunter came out so the only definitive numbers you can considder Monster Hunter moved was the boosted sales over normal sales which was about 60k PSP units the first week and then dropped back down.
Will Final Fantasy XIII sell 1 million copies (game not console) most certainly, will it boost PS3 console sales to that lofty 5 to 7 million you claimed by summer 2010 most certainly not, just know that even PS3's biggest game that is very popular in Japan MGS4 hasn't even sold a million or push console sales THAT much.

Without Monster Hunter Freedom Unite do you really think the PSP would have sold 12 million units by this point in time especially when it looked like the handheld was dead in the water before MHFU release? I think not.
And I haven't changed my prediction at all. At least 4 million PS3's will have sold in Japan following the release of GT5 and FFXIII. 5 to 7 million PS3's will have sold in Japan following the release of FF Versus XIII.
