My whole issue with the PS3 doing better in Japan: Yes, most likely it will. However, for any gains that the PS3 will get in one region for a various game, any and every other region doesn't have that game. Therefore, if.........Hot Shots Golf 4 let the PS3 sell 40k systems in a week, I believe other week's lack of sales will damage it. My averages are just that: Averages. Meaning that between now and late August, the PS3 would average around (give or take) 50k. Could it sell 75k one week? Yes. But I think the PS3 might hit rock bottom @ 75k for a 4-week set in the US, and might go to even 15k/wk in Europe, averaging the sales to 50-55k a week. As for TB/Forza. The post-GW average for the 360 is around 2100 units. TB and Forza will certainly improve the average, but Im saying overall, the 360 will probably average between 4-5k a week for the summer. Will TB/Forza boost it past 4k? Absolutely. I think TB could let the 360 get near 15k or more, but since we still have a weak July and August (possibly), the per-week sales will dip back down to 3000 or 3500 by then, thus lowering the average. This average isn't bad, because the 360, at the same time last year, was averaging just 1,000-1,400 per week. I DO think that after Lair hits, in July, as well as HSG we're going to see some good increases for the PS3 - upto 75k/wk, but still, it has a long way to get that average up.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
