Anyway, on topic, no single game will sell systems except for MGS and FF and those wont even sell THAT many.....but id say we SHOULD expect sales to hover around 100k+ from July on out.....there is enough for people to buy a PS3 game wise, we will have motorstorm, resistance, NGS, NCAA, The Show then Lair and the fall lineup, if the PS3 cant move a total of 225,000 between july and august in the states.........yikes.

But it is so very rare for a single game ot push a system in this day and age its not going to be about ooooo ninja gaiden is here i need a PS3 its "wow, that Lair games looks cool, i know ill like the show and ill give NCAA a try and motorstorm seems fun, i could also give resistance a shot and see what the 40 player online is all about, i think ill get a PS3"

Except for Wii Sports. Its the very definition of a system seller - people are buying the system to play the game. Look at the sales in Japan for proof.

You need differential titles to sell systems (i.e. different products). Mario & Sonic at Olympics, Wii Health, Wii Music, SSBM, Metroid, Mario Galaxy - a good range of software, and most of them will sell more hardware than anything for the PS3 this year (except possibly for LittleBigPlanet).
