GT3 release:
JP April 28, 2001
NA July 10, 2001
EU July 20, 2001

All what PS3 had is only GT5P, which is not a real system seller, Full GT5 will sell a lot. =)

PS3 had multiplatform releases of DMC4 and GTA4. But since these games are multiplatform, they didn`t effected much ps3 sales, just a little. =)

And GTA3 didn`t make a BIG impact on PS2 sales either. =)
80GB bundle of MGS4 will.

But yeah, FFX did a lot for PS2, let`s hope that FFXIII will coem this year. =)
Otherwise, after MGS4, sales may again go down in Japan, atleast till autumn. =]

the ps3 is selling great. defo when you take into consideration that japan is only buying like 8000 ps3s a week

@Crazzy:Then if those games you named didn't sell HW why would MGS4, which is a smaller game(fanbase), sell lots of HW?

I know the game will sell well, but I dont understand why would it sell a lot of HW.

The beauty is that now the wheels really begin to fall off of this prediction being that the PS2 sold (roughly) 1 Million units in June, (roughly) 2 Million units in July, and (roughly) 1.5 Million units in August because it was finally not supply limited in North America and Europe and started to see the release of its big games. Being that the PS3 will (probably) only sell 2.5 to 3.0 Million units between June 1st and August 31st the PS3 is going to fall behind by millions ...
