@BengaBenga,
a) except HSG5, other games like Dynasty warriors and Winning eleven, are just oriented on fan series, and from series to series mostly will sell only to fans, and in reality they are not a BIG AA games.
b) MGS4 will probably sell around 500K first week, and 1 mln. by the end of the year in Japan. If DMC4 - smaller franchise did on ps3/x360 around 300k first week, then MGS4 a BIG AA game will definetely reach 500k first week. =)
c) MGS4, GT5, FFXIII, FFXIIIv - yeah, not much Japan oriented games for NOW.
BUT http://vgchartz.com/japtotals.php?name=&console=PS2&maker=&disp=American+Name&boxartz=1
as you can see, several BIG franchise were enough for PS2. =)
d) you expect tha WKS, T6, SC4, SH5, LBP, LR will totally have no effect on PS3 sales? And why you expect that Wii will always outsell ps3 by 40k? Maybe ps3 will gain in sales or Wii just drop?
I haven`t seen Monster Hunter doing great on Home console. Other games that you named are no more, then my games listed above in this paragraph.
PS3 will have great support of HD games in Japan, but probably by 2009, it`s needed time to create HD game and money.
@Gnizmo, the games you listed is something like WKS, T6, SC4, SH5, LBP, LR and my bad RE5.
Indeed, only MGS4, GT5 and FFXIII, FFXIIIv + maybe (SO4, KH3) is left for PS3 in 1 year time.
However, Wii has NOTHING that big, maybe pokemon? Actually NOTHING.
Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...
