I reckon all the good selling JAP franchises on PS2 will sell just as well on PS3, even if it gets outsold horribly by the Wii. Do you really think the people buying the Wii in Japan are going to mean lost sales to games like DMC4, FFXIII, MGS4 etc? |
It won't be the people who buy the Wii that are causing the problem, it will be the people who don't buy a PS3 ...
Gran Turismo 4 sold (approximately) 125% as much as Gran Turismo 4: Prologue when it was released on the PS2, and it looks like Gran Turismo 5: Prologue will sell between 25% and 40% as well as Gran Turismo 4: Prologue, what is the likelyhood that Gran Turismo 5 will sell noticeably worse than Gran Turismo 4?
On its own it might be a difficult question to answer, but when you add the poor performance of Virtual Fighter 5, Everybody Loves Golf, Dynasty Warriors 6, and several other games in Japan it does meant that you will likely see lost sales.
