| MikeB said: @ HS Gundam Masou is still by far the best sold PS3 game for Japan, likewise XBox 360 sales jumped from nonthingness 1500 sales per week toward 40K units per week and is still performs better than it did before. The PS3 is a relatively pricey console, so more quality content is needed for many potential consumers to justify the purchase. |
I wasn't saying that these games wouldn't sell at all, or that the games wouldn't move systems, but I think people have to be realistic on the type of impact these games will have.
If each of these games has a distinct group of gamers who bought the game on the PS2, they were each willing to buy a PS3 to play the next iteration of the game, and none of them have currently bought a PS3 yet the total sales boost the PS3 would see is 5 Million units; this sounds like a lot of units but all three assumptions used to make this number are obviously false. The likely number of systems purchased for these games is in the 1 Million unit range which means the total userbase for the PS3 may be smaller than the number of copies of Final Fantasy X sold on the PS2; meaning Final Fantasy XIII will likely sell poorly compared to its PS2 counterparts.
