Forums - Sony Discussion - Hot Shots Golf 5 looks stunning - a million seller on PS3 in Japan?

Diomedes1976 on 11 June 2007

I think this game has a lot of possibilities in Japan .First the PS2 and PSP prequels have met great success .To understand a bit the numbers we can take a look at the PSP version wich sold some 600K in Japan being besides both Monster Hunter the third best sold PSP game in Japan to date .

The PS3 version has great graphics and an online mode and it will appeall to the japanese .We must remember japanese just love golf .

Besides I heard something very interesting about this game .The online gaming is limited to 8 players (fair enough ) but more players can connect to the game and follow the competition and speak with others doing the same .This game has a lot of possibilities of creating a big community around it .

As for sales ....I think it will push the PS3 sales .When this game arrives others as Ninja Gaiden Sigma ,Innocent Life and Folklore will be out already so I count the PS3 base to be over one million .And this game will push some systems too .Having all in count I think 300K would be a good number .But I think this game will have a lot of legs .

I'm a big fan of the Hot Shots Series but man I have to say I'm actually really disappointed with how this game looks.

Sure the graphics look really nice, But the combo of Anime Golfers which try to look real and realistic levels looks God Awful and almost scary looking to me.

This game just feel off my want list for the PS3.

 Those were not prequels. That is a term for things made after, that take place before. Since those games were made before, they cannot be prequels. A correct term, althoug there may be others, is predecessor.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

The irony here is that it is titled "Everybody's Golf," yet actually playing it is priced beyond most people's reach.

This could be the most realistic golf sim yet, even including the country club attitude towards the intended audience.

Not a million seller.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

the irony is that all of a sudden you are an expert  of the japanese market... all the others are system sellers so why wouldnt this one be?? it has traditionally sold very well in japan and good in america.. so so everywhere else... i already know what youre gonna say... the ps3 hasnt even sold a mill in japan yet.. yea okay thats fine.. but given this games tradition of selling well why wouldnt this be any different..
