@crho

I said if it releases, and I started the thread b/c of the mention it has to release soon.

Record of Agarest War, Mist of Chaos, Disgaea 3, and I forgot Enchanted Arms.

Only EA was released in America.

I stated just the same already in another thread.

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

Since when do PS3 games have legs(in Japan), let alone JRPGs. They are always big open, ok second week, gone third week.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

@ bigjon

You have to understand the normal legs for RPGs. Most RPG's sell 50%-70%their lifetime sales in the first week.

If it launched with 50k first week. It would have great legs to make it over 100k.

Edit: Hot Shots Golf 5 has had great legs. It has been out since Summer and hasn't fallen below 2k. It has almost tripled it's launch week.

ssj- I wouldn't be surprised if Yakuza 3 also boosts PS3 sales.



outlawauron on 17 February 2008

@ superjon2

Im not too sure. DMC 4 didn't really boost sales, but the new color could carry the week to above 40k?

@ outlawauran

that is what I was saying, Jrpgs dont have legs. Especially SE ones. (see DQ and FF)

I can't see this selling as well as Disgaea 3. Use that as your jumping point when making predictions.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I doubt this will be the PS3's test and it probably won't do amazingly (1million if lucky, but that's stretching it).
