Its called FF13

Also White Night and GT5, this thing does not come close to those games.

Short version: no, long version: no. Folkklore didn't break through Japan either and I doubt this game will do it. Game looks too European. Only 2 games in RPG genre so far announced which can save the PS3 in Japan are White Knight Chronicles and FFXIII but according to that Surfer Girl we can wait for a long while before we'll get to see WKC.

My PS3 is starting to collect dust I'm telling you and as I'm waiting for an US release of Disgaea 3 for instance, the PS3 can continue to collect dust for at least a half year *sigh*.

Yeah I really like the art, I don't know about savior though.

Buy superstardust HD

best PSN game out.

Looks pretty nice. I love how they're using the hardware's power for something else than yet another brown and grey shooter with a few more pixels than the last one.

It's pretty clearly a niche title though, and hardly going to sell well. I expect stuff like this to move after the Wii or DS after the difference in sales becomes clearer over the year.

Dam best artwork Ive seen on a cartoon based game.

 I totally agree with the first statement.  Ego will be the deciding factor for those games, and much as the yen/dollar will be.  The second statement is debatable but yes there have been bigger games than DMC and Metal Gear Solid has had its ups and downs.  But the last statement is slightly flawed.  One, if looking at sheer numbers, yes GTP4 did better than GTP5 at this point.  If you are looking at the attach rate for the two, GTP5 is better and that not evening knowing the download numbers.  Do the math yourself.  Like I said before, Sony knew it wasn't going to sell systems but it was going to provide game advertisment and capitial for the full game, like most demos do.  As for Final Fantasy, I think they know that it won't be out this year  but they are working on it, and you know they are looking at the Last Reminant as a testing tool for wheather or not PS3 and even X360 are lucrative platiforms this generation.  Not to mention, FF games have been their show piece game.  They are forever trying to show how powerful and impressive they can make that game series look.  Of course this has cost them to lose focus on fun and playablity of the games.  I means all those cutscenes in FFX was horrible and I am scared to play FF12.   

Here is my whole problem with this thread, why does Sony needs to be "saved" in Japan? I mean honestly is it because they are not controlling 70% of the market share in Japan anymore? I mean yes, Sony learned a lesson, if you get wild with your ambitions and you forget about what bought you to the dance in the first place, then you will lose market shares. Sony may gain blu-ray disk format shares I guess and a download service share in Japan but was it worth losing game console share? That is yet to be determined by their board of directors, and we will never truly know. But the bottom line is developers are still going to make games for PS3. Not at the rate as Nintendo is getting them (which is not always a good thing if really look at the percentage of good games vs shovelware) but Sony is going to get its share of games, that will have some of the best graphics to date. Egos like Kojima and Itagaki are always going to make this big epic games on the most advanced systems and that is not the Wii because of it's limited power. Doesn't mean producers like Suda 51 or Miyamoto won't push the power of the Wii to its fullest. It just means you have more choices and options what you want to play now, allowing the casual and core to play games, making it a more acceptable form of entertainment. Bottomline, Sony will get to 35% to 40% of the current console gen market in Japan and they now know its going take a while. Sony is not going anywhere, so relax and let games come out as they may....

I am just saying.....

I'll explain the relevance of the comparison between Gran Turismo 4: Prologue and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue ...

Gran Turismo 4: Prologue sales were roughly 70% of Gran Turismo 4's sales in Japan, and it is highly likely that a lot of people who bought GT4:Prologue also bought GT4; it is also very likely that people who bought both of these "versions" of Gran Turismo would be the most dedicated fans of the series and the most likely to buy a PS3 to play Gran Turismo 5 on. The fact that Gran Turismo 5: Prologue's sales are so much lower than Gran Turismo 4: Prologue's sales implies to me that we should see a similar drop from Gran Turismo 4 to Gran Turismo 5; if I'm correct and Gran Turismo 5 only sells between 500,000 and 600,000 units in Japan it can't really be classified as that big of a game anymore.

Then agian he did say 360 will out sale PS3 2-1 in Europe on xmas 07 so thats how much weight you should put behind any of his posts.

Heres a FACT, YOU have NO CLUE how much GT5p sold through PSN thats just one little fact you omited from your post.

Gran Turismo no longer classified as a big games, ONLY on vg.
