Everyone is always saying that "x game will save y console." I'm sure it happened with the N64, and then the GameCube. It's happening with the PS3.

This is the increase in weekly sales during the release of GT3 (in Japan).

This is the increase in weekly sales during the release of FFX (in Japan).

For those who don't know the release dates, it's 4/28/01 for GT3, and 7/19/01.

Those jumps are the increases. I've given you the data, make your own conclusions.


 Thank you for proving that those games only caused a mtemporary bump in sales
