About "the PS3 system seller syndrome", just to protect myself about a thread I start on "EveryBody's GolF 5":

I don't made this thread because I thought this game is wonderfull and will sell very very well in japan !

(I dont know this game serie, I've never played on it, I just know japanese like the previous episode)

I made this thread because there were 300K pre-orders for this game in japan AND a "PS3 pack" is going to be released

and, for the moment, considering others PS3 game (NGS, Folksoul here), 300K pre-orders is huge

That is all.

This reminds mof the defense list Gballzack posted a not to long ago. I think she needs to bring back out for this thread. I am really getting sick of the incessant whining by Sony fanboys. Don't post that you think X game will boost the PS3s sales and then go into flamebait attack mode when it doesn't. No one is infallable. If you are wrong just own up to it.

BTW Chubear leave Kber81 alone. Kber81 is a fan of the PS3. Just because he won't make a fool of himself by going against the facts as they've been presented doesn't make him any less of a Sony fan. It justs makes him a Sony fan and you a Sony fanboy.

Y-Koron confirmed the numbers. Y-Koron has been a reliable poster for months when it comes to Japanese sales numbers. You should take that into consideration, Chubear.

Like in Wii-sports? In this boxing mini-game? Sorry but it just doesn't work. There won't be full motion control in games like Tekken in this century. It's way too complex. 

The bottom line is that consumers are speaking with their wallets..and the big majority of them cant afford a 600 dollar system...god forbid the time when i dont have a choice and id have to pay that kind of money to play video games.....nintendo killing gaming??more like nintendo saving it!.....again!! and to that i say THANK GOD FOR THAT!

 To me wii tennis is the most fun ive had playing a tennis game ever and thats thanks to the wii remote...so the answer to your question is yes, it adds a whole new dimention to the experience..

We need a concrete definition of 'preorders'.  It seems like store orders have often been given the name preorders if it is just stores ordering copies to sell.

Is preordering common in Japan?  Are people pushed to preorder from retailers like they are with EB/Gamestop here?  300k preorders seems like an awful lot when that's 30% of the installed base for the PS3.  I don't believe that number.

it surprises me that this seems like it will sell less than NGS first week... How does that make sense?

Hence the board game: Life. 

Also what does this have to do with video games?

 I think this commercial explains it. I didnt see too many advertisements like this one for Folksoul.
