If Far Cry 3 outsells ToHR I shoot myself. Tales fans probably don't read this site.

and what else? PS3 has dropped 28% YOY (at the same week last year, it has sold 308K and sold another 900K for the rest of the year). He was saying it will sell 1 million units for the rest of the year with some big releases which means an increase for the same period last year. One Piece Musou 2 is not gonna cut it.

If you got the last year to date for the same week...

This year: 221,660
Last year: 308,385

The odd is that this week last year we had OP... so PS3 sold 65k... if we have at least the same number for OP this year we will see at least 260k for PS3 YTD. PS3 have no major release last year than OP... this year we have more games to make the PS3 hold the same sales than last year:

+ GT6 (if confirmed)
+ Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII
+ God of War Ascension
+ Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
+ The Last of Us
+ Grand Theft Auto V
+ Next Hatsune Miku: Project Diva
+ Beyond: Two Souls
+ Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
+ JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle
+ Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 Remix-

I didn't say these games will boost PS3 sales over last year but I'm saying it is hold the same sales than last year... of course bundles for GT6, Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 can put the PS3 sales over last year too.

PLUS the PS3 price cut in Japan this year.

I believe.

+FFX HD ;)

 

The Western games won't do much though, except perhaps GTA, which tends to sell well in Japan.

It's highly probable that Soul Sacrifice ate the Tales votes since only one vote is allowed and both are on the same system. Overlapping voter base. Inafune's new Monster Hunter is more exciting, and hyped up, than a remake game.
