Also remember the truly big weeks in Japan are after January 1st and Japan is trending down YoY. This week PS3 was down about 50% compared to last year. Averaging a 200K per week lead is possible, but will be interesting to see what MS does marketing wise to see it happen. This week and next week don't seem to have the special deals like were going on the weeks leading up to BF week and including BF week for the 360. It also seems that Sony only put out a limited amount of the PS3 holiday bundles and they are no longer selling them. I suspect MS will be ramping up the special deals with a blow out week before Christmas planned. I expect that week to see a lot of $100 gift card offers. What about Europe thought what is happening over there? |
I agree, I think Xmas week is where we're going to see a big gap. FFXIII-2 is out the week before in Japan so won't affect those numbers. It's unlikely X360 will be below BF numbers, they're normally an indication of what demand will be like xmas week, so something like 1.4M, with PS3 around 1 mill? another 400k win, with smaller wins the weeks before, and a much smaller win just before xmas due to Japan.
