Sales - Japan Numbers are Up - View Post

What's the next release that could give PS3 a boost in Japan? GTA shouldn't do much considering how poor it was received on the PS2 compared to the other territories.

From the lowness of my ignorance about bestseller JRPG's series I could only guess the awaited next Final Fantasy titles... But a consistent price drop should help a lot too, as right now in Europe there are offers for BD players at €250 for people buying HD TV sets, so I guess there should be good offers elsewhere too and this will lessen the BD related boost to PS3 sales, lowering the price the fact of being also a console should make PS3 again desirable also to BD fans less interested in gaming (if they aren't completely uninterested). Grandparents only interested in BD movies could buy a PS3 to see movies and make their grandchildren play when they are their guests, if the console isn't too much expensive, for example. The examples I can think of are very particular and limited, I admit it, but given the current PS3's situation injapan, even the smallest help should be welcome.
