The way I look at FFXIII is like this -

Say it has a 50% bigger opening than NSMB Wii, and comes in at 1,350,000 week one. Well, the PS3 costs 50% more than Wii does in Japan, 30,000 Yen to 20,000 Yen. So to have a bigger lift than Wii just had, ~60k - mostly due to NSMB Wii - then it needs to sell far more than 1.35m week one. PS3 will be able to get to perhaps 60,000 next week, so it will easily clear 100,000 on a 60k FFXIII rise, and the next mid December season lift. But even with a 1,350,000 debut, pushing 60,000 PS3s I don't know that it can push PS3 much past 135,000 or so in Japan, even with the normal lift you'd see from the Dec 13 to Dec 20 weeks that doesn't include FFXIII.

Didn't the FFXIII demo move around that number of units when the PS3 was more expensive and the demo didn't sell nearly the same number of units as NSMBWii?

 

Anyway the big lift effect will come from the bundle, did NSMBWii have a bundle ?

Don't forget a game like MGS4 that didn't break 700k week one still moved 100k units of a more expensive PS3 at a time outside of the holydays...
