| ZorroX said: Maybe, 1st/2nd party PS3 games are less popular in Japan. But overall, this is a strong support. PS3 was initially 60k. Yakuza 3 vs Yakuza 4, FFXIII vs GT5+FFXIV, ToV vs SO4+EoE, RE5 vs LP2+DR2 and there still left other games. |
Nintendo and Sega have always rested on their 1st party portfolios and 2nd party deals. If Sony had to do the same, there wouldn't have even been a PlayStation 2.
PS3 launched at 49,980 yen (20GB). Saturn launched at 44,800 yen. With currency fluctuations (the yen was nearly 20% higher valued against the dollar in 1994 versus 2006), PS3 was actually about $50 USD cheaper than Saturn at launch.
2009's PS3 games will outsell 2010's PS3 games. You can bet on that.
