The majority of MGS sales are also in the west. But where did it move more consoles? Japan.

 

 well alot of people that wanted it already had it

 

And alot of people that want FFXIII already have a PS3...

 

Yes and no ...

A large portion of people who bought a PS3 to date do want Final Fantasy XIII being that they were likely to have owned a PS2 in the past and played most of the big games for that system.

There are (probably) quite a few people out there who were on the fence about buying a PS3 or XBox 360 and haven't bought one yet because they didn't have enough money or they were waiting for their favourite games to get closer to release. By Microsoft securing Final Fantasy XIII they have taken the game out of the equation for a lot of people which could result in a slight improvement in the sales of the XBox 360 at the expense of the PS3 ...
