I'd say the Japanese launch would avoid whatever date FFXIII is launching in.


In case of the West this would be one epic line-up

October 27 - Gran Turismo 5
November 3 - Bioshock 2
November 10 - Modern Warfare 2
November 17 - Assassin's Creed 2

Actually it is:

10/11 Modern Warfare 2
20/11 Assassin's Creed 2
27/11 Gran Turismo 5
4/12   Uncharted 2: Among Theives (possibly)

That is a little busy for me...

Wait let's see. I'll assume the 27th is a Friday and since America is allergic to Fridays they will get it on the 24th

making the US list look like this

3/11 - Bioshock 2

10/11 - Modern Warfare 2

17/11 - Assassin's Creed 2

24/11 - Gran Turismo 5

then I go on drooling:

20/10 - Splinter Cell Conviction

27/10 - Uncharted 2

and you've got 6 weeks of utter destruction

Add to that Tekken 6 . Fall 2009 ;)

The Japanese launch for GT5 will be late November 09 and FFXIII will be mid to late December.  Boosting PS3 sales to close to or over 5 million units in Japan when Versus XIII launches sometime in the Summer or Fall of 2010 moving another 500,000 to 1 million PS3s in Japan in its turn.
