There is NO way PS3 hardware will hit 100k - zero chance.

MGS4 will sell around 250k-300k (software!) week#1 - and you would think that 80% of purchasers already have a PS3 (at least). This means about 30k bundles could sell, so total PS3 sales for the week could hit 30k-50k.

Lets not also forget that MGS is about as top-heavy as any title for the PS3, ever. Looking at a 50%-80% sales drop-off from week#1.

Find out soon enough...

 shams no like optimistic PS3 owners! SHAMS SMASH! SHAMS SMASH!

 (PS3 fans morale that is)

 

But If someone said the PS3 would sell 100k in Japan alone they are smoking something. Between 20-40k hopefully, but having an exclusive game worthy of purchasing a PS3 for the first time should keep the legs longer on this game. Thats different from the past of having a decent game that sorta justifies buying a PS3 and playing that game while waiting for AAA titles.

Im calling the PS3 to remain at atleast 18,000 for the rest of the year in Japan. Not amazing, but a hell of a lot better than 8,000 a week.
