| txrattlesnake said: These games aren't going to be a knockout punch for the Wii because the Japanese love themselves some hd gaming and when it comes to hd gaming they love hd gaming on the ps3 the most which also has some heavy hitters headed its way in Japan later this year in Gran Turismo 5 and Final Fantasy XIII. My current prediction for end of gen console sales in Japan. Wii -- 20 million PS3 -- 12 million 360 -- 2 million Those games will help Nintendo win this gen in Japan but they're not going to change the fact that a lot of Japanese gamers enjoy playing games in hd and their favorite hd console is the hometown boy the PS3. |
Gran Turismo 5 and Final Fantasy XIII will be huge and help PS3 sell but in my opinion even these two games are no match for Wii´s upcoming lineup this year. It´s not even certain that those two games will be released this year. Nothing is confirmed yet I believe.
Of course HD consoles will continue selling in Japan but I feel that Wii´s 2009 lineup will confirm (if someone still doubt it) that Wii is the console winner in Japan this gen.
