Your analysis of the trend is ignoring software, first off you're assuming that FF13 will be able to push it into the 250K range, which is unlikely, the Slim launched with Gundam in Japan and did 150K, So 250K with FF13 is unlikely.

Wii's lineup this year is stronger than its lineup in 2008, and in 2007 Wii fit was in short supply in Japan, so Wii will be able to push more Hardware than the PS3 over the holiday.

What software? What so special about those Wii games? Every PS3 game listed will pass 100k in Japan.

PS3 lineup rivals Wii.

PS3 price is by 10k yen lower, than last year, it is now slim and for the first time will get a Huge game.


  Are you kidding, lol, most of those Wii games will do far more sales than the PS3 games will in Japan, in fact with the exception of FF13, none of those PS3 games are likely to be hardware movers
