I think you completely missed the point... TheSource was demonstrating that although the early weeks of the Playstation, Gamecube, and PS3 all tracked similarly, the Playstation then exploded upwards in sales and never looked back. The Gamecube certainly never did that, and there's precious little reason to think the PS3 has much of a chance either. You're just drawing the conclusion you want to see, not what's actually there. |
Well if you don't see any reason you should look at the releaselist for the PS3 (: There are plenty of 3rd-Party title which ll do very well in Japan and that is the different to the situation of the GC.
I don't think we will see anything like what has happened to the PS1 at that time especially because of the strong Wii but in the long term I see a big market for the PS3 in Japan just because it's so different to the Wii.....or better because the Wii is so different to classic gaming consoles.
I would not dare to predict when this time will come, MGS4 will help for sure but I don't see such a big, long lasting impact.
FF13 will be big for sure and so will GT5 and many other multiplatt Titles are Xbox& PS3 only and we all know that the Xbox360 is dead in Japan and will stay that way.
I think at latest with a slim Version and a reasonable price +the big lineup the PS3 will see its big boost in Japan.
