hmmmmmmmmm, theres food for thought.

Well it seems COD has become popular in Japan, so that could help. another monster hunter could help.

it really depends on the life of the console, games support and late adopters, if that applies to the Japanese market.

look at it like this. you can ruffly say every month PS3 sells about 50-80k in Japan, so PS3 sells arounds 160k every 2 months.

multiply that by 11 (1,760,000) , and that's likely what PS3 will sell by yr.'s end from Feb to Dec.. i didn't factor Jan. in because that seems to be the month Japan buys there systems, and i'm not to sure how that played out.

so if PS3 can get enough software support, when the 8th gen starts, and stays around 20k a wk, yr. looking at another 8 yr.'s not factoring in games that could help sell more hardware.

when you factor those games in, i'd say 6 yr's.
