Smashchu2 on 20 April 2008

There is also the large boost from MGS 4, huge from GT 5 and huge from FF XIII. Also, PS3 sales in Japan are awful, and so will only get better. Of course to counter that, there is the upcoming 360 US price cut, which will boost sales there, but the combined might of R2 and KZ2 should stop the GeoW 2 boost being that great, and generally (as shown by games like J & D, DMC and FF X - XII) sales of a franchise seem to decrease over the lifespan of a platform, likely (especially so in this case) the original was so good that it got everyone who wanted that type of game onto that platform |
Since the data includes Dec 1st, Holidays won't skewer it too much. Also, I do not beleive MGS4 or FF13 will create a large boost. Both of those franchises have been on the down side for a while and it seems that most opf the hype and want are from Sony fans, so many of the potential buyers probably own the system.
Also, neither will be king. The Wii beats both of them by a land slide.
