short term...isn't it?


No there is no short term once FFXIII finishes releasing right after FFXIII, then you have Final Fantasy versus XIII and White Knight Story, The Last Renament, which is going to sell better on the PS3 than on the 360 in Japan.., 


 Yup it'll help the PS3 sell 1 or 2 million more consoles, Woo, so instead of being behind the GCN it'll be a little ahead, woo



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

 Sorry it's just funny that people keep expecting a few big titles to save the PS3 when historically they never sold more than a few million in japan

True, and I just signed up today and just came across so many attitudes. But as for me I'm neutral, I don't own a current-gen console (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii). So really none of this matters, but I will be darn if someone steps in a say this console isn't doing good and they know it is.

True and I understand, but we haven't see the killer-apps to confirm that the PS3 is done for. You just can't assume that since the PS3 is doing awful now that it will when those killer-app titles release.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Japan's love for Final Fantasy been dying lately and isn't Dragon Quest their main fix of RPGness from a major developer?

 

And yes, I agree with this thread, Europe loves Sony and don't care about getting it in the butt from them!



What are you looking at, nerd?

 Can you give me a link or some knowledge that the main series is falling down?
