@thekitchensink, there WAS NO your post, when i was replying.
MGS is a BIG game WW, non in Japan.

@ZenfoldorVGI,
you never know. =)

depends on how many mgs fans bought ps3 by the release time.

burnout 5 sells better on PS3, next dmc4? =)

zelda? i don`t see it in charts. =)

you know what effect 299$ price will do on ps3 sales? :)

NO, i just FIND interesting, that SMG sales are very CLOSE to SMS sales with same number of userbase.

PS3 aleready outselling x360 HW in December, January. =)

well, who knows, everything is possible, NOT? =)

I don't know if it will reach 2m in Japan, but it doesn't matter unless you are ONLY speaking of Japan.  I thought we were talking about WW sales and using the Japan graph only because Japan has data going back farther.
@Final-Fan, We can use Japan graphics to SEE selling TRENDS. Sales trends in other regions we don`t know. Only Total sales.
BUT because since n64 has passed 10 years, mostlikely MARKET has changed.
And ONLY SMS is closest for comparing sales of SMG.

IT DOESN'T MATTER whether SMG gets bought by hardcore or casuals or supercasuals or trained monkeys.  The SALES are what matter.
So, if it DOESN` matter, WHAT is your PURPOSE in THIS thread? =)))))

"yes, sales are great, but that was all the GAMERS and now they've all bought it and none of the "non-gamer casuals" will buy it."  Is that a good summary of your position?
Around 20-25% sales is maximum. I expect 8 mln. LTD at most.

Because if so then nothing else will really be important; you are basing your whole position on IGNORING past sales trends so studying past sales trends is completely useless.

That you, who TRY to IGNORE JAPANESE sales TREND.
I don't know if it will reach 2m in Japan, but it doesn't matter
