| Sky Render said: That's a short-sighted view, colonelstubbs. One week of boosted sales is meaningless. Even a month or boosted sales is not that significant. A full-fledged permanent effect on sales, however, is quite significant. Most rational people predicted that MGS4 would have a short-term effect, but not a long-term one. And most rational people are also predicting that for FF13. |
It depends.
MGS4 roughly increased the PS3 installed base by 5% by itself in Japan, that is not totally meaningless, especially considering the console has been out for 19 months there.......
FFXIII has the potential to increase it by 10% when it comes out.
Not the millions of consoles some people are dreaming off, but tell any console maker that you have a game that will increase the size of their install base by 10% the month it comes out and all they are going to answer you is : 'where do I sign ?'...
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
