Final Fantasy XIII will put the PS3 over 5 million units sold in Japan. Will NSMBWii put the Wii over 10 million units sold in Japan?

FF13 won't push PS3 over 5 million, FF13 liftime sales in Japan are predicted to be 1.5-1.8 million, by Famitsu and Media create

Lets be generous and say 20% of FF13 buyers will purchase a PS3, that means FF13 will drive 300-360K PS3 sales basically FF13 would only put it above 4 million in Japan

 

And yet by the time GT5 comes out in March, the PS3 will have sold over 5 million units there.  There has to be a game that is primarily responsible for that.


Not necessarily, in fact considering PS3 sales are dropping into the mid 20K's a week in Japan, that means after the holidays, it probably will sell less than 300K in the first few weeks of the new year, it could very likely be below 5 million when GT5 launches

 

Actually, it's still in the high 20's, and it has beaten the Wii 2 out of 3 weeks since Wii Fit + came out including the latest one.


Yeah, by like under a thousand, not really all that much, in fact a statistical tie considering the numbers aren't perfect, not to mention its going to fall a bit more before it settles, according to ioi

 

Yeah, well Wii will fall a bit before Mario Wii comes out.  And maybe hardware sales won't be pushed that much by Mario Wii because the Japanese have already bought Wiis for Mario games like Galaxy and Kart.

There hasn't been a new FF released in Japan in 4 years.
