Firstly there will probably be a few displaced sales from last weekend because of that blizzard on the east coast. Secondly ioi thought that about 150k FFXIII bundles were sold but according to PS3 center only about 92k were which leads me to believe that the drop off in Japan next week won't be very precipitous. Finally this Saturday is Boxing Day. |
With Christmas this week, I would expect sales from NA and Others would drop from last week. (It's basic one less day for any sales) As for Japan, even with more bundle available, I would expect the number for PS3 to drop since the holiday boost would be smaller than the FFXIII boost this week.
And I doubt boxing day would anything to console sales. I don't see any deals that were not available before this week.
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
