#1 PS3 Software Story:--------
Final Fantasy 13 and FF13 Lightning PS3 Edition:--- Exclusive releases for PS3 in japan this Holiday Season the Game/Bundle should result in Japanese PS3 sales spikes of over 150,000 at the least for the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas due in large part to the FFXIII Lightning Edition Bundle, I Personally Expect 400,000 Hardware units to ship in Japan following the FFXIII release among many other high end Japanese releases
Game Presumably Releases in NA/Eur for both Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime in April 2010... Final Fantasy XIII will easily top 1.5 Million Units in Japan week 1.
PS3 Sales Lookout:-- With Uncharted 2 still fresh on many minds it could be a great holiday season for the title, expect additional sales of well over 500,000 through the season
HARDWARE SALES DATA + Holiday 2009 Predictions
Last Year Holiday Sales...Nov. 2- Dec.28
North America:--- 1,180,370
Japan:--- 242,555
Others:--- 1,424,262
Total:--- 2,847,187
2009 Holiday Predictions! Nov. 1 - December 31
North America:--- 1,824,400
Japan:--- 689,567
Others:--- 2,256,700
Total:--- 4,770,667
As you can see my prediction for total PS3 Sales could be quite high, especially compared to last years numbers...But remember, last year at this time the recession was in full effect, the PS3 was 399.99, still Phat and with Little Major Software...
This Year the Recession has officially ended (yay US) theres a shiny new Slim 299.99 120 Gig PS3 available worldwide, multiple major bundles...one of those being a massive exclusive FFXIII bundle for Japan, that combined with a strong software lineup for the season and a rediculous 2010 to follow up..well in all reality my predictions may even be alittle low.
Microsoft Xbox 360 Pre-View Coming Soon!
