Its going to be pretty embrassing for Sony then Joey. I figured the PS3 would reach a million first but NGS didn't do much for PS3 sales and honestly that didn't surprise me. I never understood why people thought NGS would have a big effect on PS3 sales. What has surprised me is Folk Soul. According to the first day sales numbers that have leaked out, it seems to have bombed in Japan. I figured Folk Soul would give the PS3 a significant boost for the next few weeks but that seems not to be the case.

Folks Soul is not a traditional RPG to the Japanese, I think. To me, as RPG fan, the game didn't look all too appealing. I didn't have the feeling of oh my god, I need a PS3 for that?! Think I'll go nuts once they'll announce SOIV for the PS3 and I keep that nightmare scenario in my mind that it will most definitely happen, or 360... which would be a nightmare for me too :D In the past I was multi platform (well PS / Nintendo that was) but for this generation I'd rather stick with one console. And White Knight really hits my soul, but these two games so far are the only ones! FFXIII I honestly don't give a crap about. I'm kind of "off" Final Fantasy, except of the Crystal Chronicle games which look very much amazing to me!

I didn't really think Folks Soul would give a boost, but that the sales on a first day would be that terrible? I mean Folks Soul a Japanese RPG game versus Saints Row an American action game... :-/. Really ironic...

When you put it that way WiiGirl, I guess I should not have been as surprised. Still, the PS3 has sparse lineup in Japan and I though Folk Soul would do better. Honestly the way the PS3 is selling, I wouldn't go out on a limb and say any franchise will be announced exclusive for it anytime soon. Outside of what is already in deep development for PS3, I don't think the PS3 will have much if any exclusives from third parties from now on.
