I seriously doubt it will pass 600k, let alone 1 million.

seems unlikely. It will get a nice boost - but not that nice.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I will provide my reason. Just let me explain myself a bit ok.

Well a large amount of PS3 systems have possibly been held back to be bundled with big games. Games do not get much bigger than FFXIII and God of War 3. We have waited ages for these games to come out. Sony delivers them to us at the perfect time. PS3 Slim $299.

God of War 3 will sell 1.5 million in its first week. Why game everyone has been talking about. it should sell systems. PS3 at $299 very cheap price here. God of War fans will buy PS3 with God of War III. PS3 ZOMG will go through the roof. God of War 3 launch week PS3 to sell anywhere between 450k to 600k.

Final fantasy XIII (PS3) sell 600k in US in first week. Europe should be double this amount 1.2 million easily. Japan will sell some copies as well.. 2 million sales for FFXIII (PS3) sold in Europe/NA launch week + Japan boost. FFXIII should push PS3 sales. 350k to 500k.

My range is for the two weeks for the PS3 console sales is between 800k and 1.1 million. I just went for 1 million it just sounds like a good number.

I am hoping for the best possible outsome for the PS3 sales. The PS3 console sales will get big boosts with these two game launches.

How does Japan get any boost if the game was already released last December? Also, you are saying FFXIII in Europe would double the sales in US first week? Seriously?

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

OK, we are persuaded: this Logic Thunder from Down Under defeated us.

dude, if you said half a million in the next two weeks then you would have a good shot of making that one.

since when does a game release ever increase hardware sales by 150%? it doesn't.

i think gow might move 50k ps3s, but ff is not exclusive, so i put that at less. you need to come back down to earth. the air is better here.
