I think a lot really depends on how well FF13 does and if those new console owners want to take the cheaper route to play it or not.
We are now what 4-5 years into this gen? I think the big bumps now only come from price reductions.
Those people who like God Of War will most likely already own a PS3 as it is difficult to imagine there would be no other games on it that appeal to them.
I don't think GOW3 will make much difference in terms of hardware increases.
The same goes for Yakzua 4. I just don't understand why people who love the series would not have bought a PS3 to play the third installment. Why would they skip number 3 and go straight to number 4? Surely can't be much of a fan of the series if you do that?
The bump will come from FF13. In UK for some reason the adverts on tv for it seem to only show 360 and they mention the bundle. I think someone else said that had happened in states too?
Meaning if MS are going to push hard FF13 then those people sitting on the fence who love the series but can't quite afford a PS3 will end up getting a 360 to play it. Makes sense right? If you were after lets say a new phone and one shop was cheaper then the other you would buy the cheap version, that is just how people are.
So i think it really is too difficult to tell. Japan has already had their ff13 bump, that has come and gone. Y4 bump there will be minimal. Y3 will have zero bump effect elsewhere simply because not many people have heard of it over here.
I for some reason have a feeling that you could be surprised at the gap come the end of the month. I think FF13 will do well both on 360 and PS3 and in terms of hardware sales due to that i would put it at 50-50, meaning nobody really gains much on the other.
I also think Bad Company 2 will have some effect due to the advertising and reviews it has been getting.
PS3 will win the month, that is a no brainer but i honestly would be surprised to see a 200k gap, i think it will be very close.
