So I've thinking about sales and what could happen the next couple of years regarding PS3 and the xbox 360. Maybe it's just an open door but I think, in contrast with the 360, the PS3 have some system sellers left that are sequels of popular PS1/2 games which can account for big sales.

  • Final Fantasy XIII and & FFIV: in Japan these games should have a massive impact. Probably good for about 1 million of people going to get the PS3 for these games.
  • Gran Turismo 5. Need I say more? A couple of million people waiting to for this game to buy the system
  • God of War III. Maybe not as massive as the games above, but it still should attract 500K.
  • The Last Guardian. Even smaller than God of War, but it's probably gonna be a unique game that'll attract fans of the former ICO games.

All in all these should get at least 4 million new gamers to the Playstation 3. And with the recent numbers of PS3 continuously selling more than the xbox 360 I think the Playstation could end up second in line behind the Wii. 

 

 

Using titles as a basis for a system catching up salewise implies that people who don't own a system, will buy it to play a game released for it.  Please tell me how many people who don't own PS3s now, are going to buy a PS3 for "The Last Guardian"?  I would say the same for "God of War III" also.
