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. |
When do you expect this gen to end? Because in 2.5 years, the PS3's still at 3.25 mil. At this pace I don't see how it'll reach 12 mil, even with FF. Not like there hasn't been a ton of main series already released for it.
I don't even know if the Wii will hit 20 million.
I don't think GT5 will be released this year (though I've always thought this way, I'm not changing this prediction until Sony goes ahead and confirms it) though I think EU *could* get it this year.
But like kylohk said it's not like the HD consoles are gonna die or anything :P

How do you know Samurai Warriors 3 will release Sept 29? All other sites list it as TBA.

I got that information from Wikipedia, it says that Koei has officially stated that Samurai Warriors 3 will be released November 29. (I know sometimes you can´t trust Wikipedia so take that info with a grain of salt, it looks like the game will hit in 2009 anyway).
