The Market is really unpredictable. =)
I still think, that Ratchet will gain in sales during Christmas, because it`s perfect gift for kid, so and SMG, but Ratchet on PS3, which has blu-ray, that`s why PS3 is also perfect for FAMILY.
Why Family wouldn`t buy PS3 this Christmas, which has Blu-ray, Free online, and some great games?
Most people don`t buy 10 games per month, so Warhawk, AC, HS, Ratchet, Folklore, NGS, Uncharted, UT3, Lair, Haze, Cod4, would be really enough for this Christmas.
Though, x360 bundled with 2 games, while ps3 40GB none games, and only 150$ more costing ps3 has 1 game in.
PS3 40GB bundles with Ratchet or Uncharted this Christmas would be unstoptable, imo.
As for Japan, it`s only LO vs GT5:prologue left, about other titles i am not sure will japanese be interested in them.
