Thumbs up Rocket Pig!!

@larry sigh, you don't need to be that defensive, it is not like I said that xbox360 will sell more over all time than PS3. I just stated that the only chance for xbox360 to sell more than PS3 is with a blue dragon bump.

Me too. One where the rankings actually match those in the product pages. Not that it means anything at all. Please, do check. 

We´ll have to wait some time (4 years more less) to see an extremely good looking zelda. T.T. And well, if you want to use Amazon Jp as a guide, you should check that NGS is quite low.

Not that it matters, but Forza 2, which comes out in Japan on Tuesday, shot up to the number 4 spot at the time of this post.

 Well to be fair Folksoul/Folklore does look like a mad fun title. It will sell hardware in japan i'm pretty sure. The question is just how much hardware... Sony does need a massive ps3-hit in japan atm =)

Well to be fair, to sell 100k for two weeks sony needs increase what it sells by 500% which isn't likely. A bump to 50-70k totally for two weeks and a total sales increase around 100k could be possible.

I don't think anyone was trying to make the connection that since TB was #4 through 20 or whatever, that it automatically meant it was going to be an ultra-high selling game for the week, or break records of some sorts. I imagine, however, that it IS a sign that there will be atleast some sort of demand outside of the 360 ownership basis in Japan. How much of a base, remains to be seen. Could be 1k, could be 100k. Larry - Since you've made the prediction that TB won't move more than 3k systems, here's what Im doing. Not because your anti-360, but because your anti-intelligence. If Trusty Bell does not move more than 3,000 systems (above the last week's sales), I will not ban you, ever. However, if it does move 3k systems, or more, I will give you a 1 week ban. How's that for justice? In another note: I told my girlfriend about Eternal Sonata (the US version), she is very excited for me to buy the game since it's a mix of Dragon Quest 8 graphics (although far better), Kingdom Hearts button-mashing battles, and co-op game play. She is demanding that I buy the game opening day and we play through it together for a relationship-building experience. Hehe, Namco is my hero :)

 Nah, not completely buying that. I have no clue how many systems folklore can push in Japan  (50k seems just as likely or unlikely as 100k to me)  but since we are talking about the game itself pushing sales, last weeks sales would be - not irrelevant - but certanly not AS relevant. 

I mean if 100.000 japanese go crazy about folklore, they will buy the ps3 regardless if the ps3 sold 10k or 50k last week, no?

If Trusty Bell has a fifth of the impact of Blue Dragon, Larry is getting a week ban. 360 sales were through the roof, relative to normal levels that is, for about 6 weeks because of Blue Dragon.
