Right ...
I grow tired of this tread because most people who hyped Gundam Musou, and said that "PS3 dominance in Japan begins in March with Gundam Musou" are the same people who are now claiming that "Gundam Musou was not expected to sell well, and it is a crappy game anyways."
Regardless of whether you want to admit it or not, a large number of console games on the PS2 (and any system) were bought because the consumer liked the genre/game and already owned (or was already planning to purchase) a PS2. Why games like Ridge Racer, Gundam Musou and Virtual Fighter have sold so poorly is because few people were going to buy a PS3 specifically for these games. A game like Final Fantasy will sell worse on the PS3 because it has not sold that many systems (meaning not that many people already own a PS3) and only a subset of the people who bought Final Fantasy for the PS2 will be willing to buy a PS3 specifically for Final Fantasy.
But hell, you simply don't understand basic logic so I'll just say what you want to here
"PS3 dominance starts next month with the release of some game"
