Wii was adjusted down last week by 2k units, perhaps it happens again next week.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

WTF about VGC? The MC said this week PS3 above Wii about 2K,but VGC now says Wii above PS3 2K,so the difference is nearly 4K?

Can Black Ops counter Red Wii?

nope COD isn't big there

Speaking of Black Ops in Japan, why doesn't SE ever release Activision's Wii/DS games in the region?  I wonder if they're going to skip Goldeneye entirely?

'cause Goldeneye et Wii BO fail to sell even in the West, so I don't think the hopes in Japan are that great...

Just saying but... PS3 reclaims the first place this week! Black Ops DID counter Red Wii!!!

Eh, but SE is releasing Bloodstone in Japan, so they're obviously not afraid of FPS that sell even worse than Wii games. ;)



They release Bloodstone in Japan?! Well that's a bold move to be sure. SE is putting too much faith in westernization I think. They should realize, seeing the success of FFXIII and DQIX, that their core audience wants what they do best : JRPGs.

They also released other HD Activision bombs like Blur and Singularity.  I'm just wondering why Wii/DS/PSP have seemingly gotten left out?  Goldeneye at least seems like it'd be worth a release imo.

And here starts a new one :D

So let's try to predict next week PS3 sales. We will see if we can make better prediction than Japan preview :D

I say PS3 will be at 80-90k level.

I say closer to 150k.

Depending on how many GT5 bundles there were.

So in the end i win ;)

Media Create says  PS3 wins this week. VGC should be about within 5% of MC numbers.

So PS3 won this year and it still has time to better the result from the minimum already granted of 27-25.
