When FF13 comes out the PS3 will be in the mid 20 million range and FF13 will stay on store shelves for AT LEAST 24 months, so that is another 20 million console sales at current sales rates (Sony said they expect to ship around 10 million this year). So the PS3 could be around 45 million units when FF13 is taken off of shelves and to get 7 million (which is great for any game not named GTA) it wouldn't need the big attach rates that people are thinking about. And since Final Fantasy has such name recognition people just picking up a PS3 at the end of FF13's shelf life would strongly consider picking it up as it would be a Greatest Hit and cheap. |
Kinda tough to say where PS3 will be given we have no firm release date or even year. Hell with previous translation rates Europe and others might not see the game till 2010. I really hope we don't have to wait this long I'm sick of hearing about it lol There's so many things sales could speed up slow down, natural disasters can stop them completely for short periods who the hell knows. I wouldn't be so willing to say 20,000,000PS3's... and by the way shipping 10,000,000 this year doesn't mean they'll sell them all.
