For an explanation of my earlier post of FF13 first week sales, I took an average of first week sales to average install base of PS1 and PS2 at the time FF7 and FF10 released...
Final Fantasy VII Japanese first week #s
PS1 Hardware - 5.2 million / 2.03 million software
Final Fantasy 10 Japanese first week #s
PS2 Hardware - 5.1 million / 1.91 million software
Average = 37.9% of the hardware attach rate first week
4 million PS3 (at time of FF13 release projected) * 37.9% hardware = 1.52 million FF13 software first week
That would be 1.5 million. However, I also think that it will be slightly higher than 4 million at FF13 launch for PS3 ISB and the attach rate will be a little higher because more probably have a PS3 for FF13 specifically this generation.
So I think 1.6 million should be pretty easy. I always do remember everyone saying MGS4 would only do 250-300k first week in Japan, but then ended up doing 475k :)
If that makes me a Sony fanboy, so be it.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
