| HarryEaster said: wenlan, the biggest sellers in Japan year on year have been Winning Eleven and Dynasty Warriors, both have struggled to put do even 1/3 on PS3 as the million they normally sell on PS2. Hot Shots Golf 5 compared to 3 is a joke, Virtua Fighter (Tekken and Sould Calibur watch out) bombed. How much did Devil May Cry 3 sell? Silent Hill 4? Gran Turismo 4? Final Fantasy XII? Why should the next sequels on PS3 sell more than they did on the 22m userbase PS2? |
I don't think anyone on this site would expect the sequels of the game you listed above will sell more on PS3 than those on PS2.
The global market is changing. It is getting more difficult for a console game to reach 1 million in Japan because Japanese gamers prefer handheld or mobile phone games now. How many Wii games actually hit 1 million in Japan? HSG5 sale number is about the half of SMG in Japan. SMG is a huge success and HSG5 is a joke? I hope you get my point 
It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo
