I am guessing for japan we will see
this week 80k then
65k
55k
50k
45k
42k
40k
35k
30k
and it should stabilize at 25k.... I could very easily be wrong though. I'm no paid analyst.

Wow, I was predicting 25K or less sales this week.(week after MGS4 boost) I wonder how my prediction will be...

Theres a rumor on GAF that FFXIII will release in Japan this winter. If thats true we could see Japan becoming Sony territory pretty quickly

 

Even if FF13 is releasing this winter, do you really think it will sell 4 million PS3's? That's ridiculous, sorry. To keep it in perspective: MGS4 sold an extra 60.000 consoles in a week, so maybe 100.000 console extra because of MGS4. FF is a lot bigger, but even a console boost of a million (which is insane and extremely unlikely) won't get it anywhere near Wii.

If you go to Gamefaqs, and go to the PS3 page, there should be a list of upcoming PS3 games. Soul Calibur IV should be a pretty important title for the PS3 in Japan, since it features Star Wars characters and it's a semi-large series there. It comes out around the end of July.
