Notice the trend, gears of war, oblivion, or any type of game that has high hype and usually is garnered to a wide audience will almost always will be bound to sell alot. Lair will do so, but ninja gaiden won't. If you look at past records, star wars rogue squadron 2 sold 1.88 million. It isn't like lair will not sell great either. Ninja gaiden will do okay, possibly 500,000. But people are forgetting that hot shot golf 5 is coming out this year too, and will probably at least for one week increase ps3 sales to 50,000 to possibly 200,000. |
look up sales of hot shots golf or Everybody's golf as it's known in Japan and then compare console sales for the comparable week. From what I can tell console sales were actually below average those weeks. Despite the game selling well it doesn't seem the type to actually sell the system. And remember Rogue Squadron is sci-fi, and more importantly Star Wars, Factor 5 is mixing fantasy with flying dragons in a new IP I just don't see it performing well.
Remember Panzer Dragoon Orta really didn't help sell the X-box in the Japanese market, and that was a Japanese company making a sequal to an established franchise, I don't Lair changing that pattern.
