Forums - Sales Discussion - The first big test for the PS3 in Japan this year is next week (imo)...

Eternal Sonata is said to be released next week in Japan , via ps3fanboy.com (which the ps3 site of joystiq. scroll down to worldwide releases at the last paragraph), and I believe this is the first JRPG that isn't a SRPG. If their information is correct, how do you think it will sell?
Better than the 360 version?
More than 150k?
What about hardware?

I think if this game does really well, I believe that other companies will annouce more and more 360/PS3 JRPGs.

Your thoughts?

What is an SRPG?

And I think it will do better than the 360 version, but it won't get anywhere near 150k.



Low sales I predict.



I think confidence can only grow for PS3 over 360.



I stated just the same already in another thread.

I see you will see 70-80K sold in week one, with strong legs.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

I don't see this rattling many bars over there, maybe 50-60k first week and perhaps up to 130-140k lifetime sales on PS3.



it will sell more then the 360 version, no doubt about that.

I dont think it will sell well



eternal sonota....doesn't ring a bell



Joystik.... LOL.

I doubt it's being released and Yakuza 3 is the next test for PS3 Japan regardless.
