| MidnightRider85 said: Yeah, but the three Final Fantasies, GT 5, and the slew of mainly exclusive PS3 Japanese games that are going to come about as a result of these exclusives will put PS3 up to about 7 to 8 million units sold in that territory while the 360 will almost have to have a miracle to even reach 2 million sold in Japan. |
I don't see how this will be any different from Sony being over 12-15 million behind in the US by that time.
| MidnightRider85 said: The 360's Worldwide lead is 8 million. The PSP has sold 12 million in Japan. If PS3 sells 12 million in Japan what would the difference be between the 360 and PS3? |
The PS3 will never be as successful as the PSP in Japan. Hell it won't be as "succesful" as the Gamecube until FFXIII hits.
| MidnightRider85 said: So with these totals 8 to 10 million PS3's sold in Japan by 2011, the PS3 cutting the 360's lead in Others by sizable amounts every time it gets a pricecut and continuing to beat 360 there until it gets a couple of price cuts, odds are pretty good PS3 will have it tied by September of 2011 |
So you're basically hoping Microsoft won't alter the price of their system for the rest of it's life? Wishful thinking has never translated into cogent reality.
| MidnightRider85 said: By the time Versus XIII releases in 2010 in Japan exclusively on PS3 they will have sold 4 to 5 million more units in Japan, and 10 million in the West. |
So if Versus is out in Japan by Christmas 2010, you expect the PS3 to have sold 7.3-8.3 million units total in about 16 months? Roughly 62,000 units a week in Japan, starting today? That's a 10 fold increase as the bare minimum for 65 weeks straight? Even faster then the PSP and Wii? I think you've arrived in the wrong generation, last gen is 8 years that way.<<<<<<<<
| MidnightRider85 said: That should be enough to cut the 360's lead to at the very least 4 million by Christmas 2010. |
3.4. i'm not going to quibble over 1 million sales, there's still a gap. It's redundant anyway Microsoft will have responded by September 1st 2010, once that happens. The see-saw swings back in their favour.
