I had 200k, 300k. I didn't bet on Hardware boost, but I can see some people were off.

Especially Rol.. dam we were all wrong.

Hmm, stronger than my prediction, but not shocking. Now to see what kind of legs it has.
"I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself."
A little bird told me 175k MNG5 and 38k PS3s for the week.
So according to the famitsu news article.....would the 40k PS3's be factored into the HSG software or would we need to add them together?

As for 1 week I expect - 70k PS3's and 225k HSG5 moved. The best thing about this game will be steady sale on the 8k - 12k level for many weeks. (I hope so). Week PS3 HSG5 1 70k 225k 2 45k 75k 3 35k 40k 4 25k 25k (365k - 4 weeks) PS3 sale level stays around 25k. Last time I was totally wrong (Folks Soul), so I'm pretty humble right now. Anyway someone has to be an optimist while Washimul is banned |
Your line has been crossed, by quite a bit in fact. You missed by 30K systems sold and 45K copies of software sold. By the original idea of the topic in this post: By your predictions the PS3 is in trouble.

| mrstickball said: First week - 190,000 units First month - 275,000 total units. End sales; 500k LTD-ish. The big question is, where will its legs be? If it can manage to have a decent drop on week 2 (which no PS3 title has really had yet), it could do real well. Source, 230k>40k, a 82.5% drop? You sure about that? Thats pretty high. Not impossible (Trusty Bell or KH2FM-esque drop). IMO, anything lower than 125k first week would be rather disappointing. GM did rather well, but thus far, hasn't had the greatest of legs. Whats going to really matter is if HSG is casually frontloaded (decent o/d o/w multiplier, but bad o/w o/m multiplier), or does well, or neither. But in GM's defense, it's still selling 1k+ per week on the charts, at 1300 units last week. Not bad for such a frontloaded title. It could pull 2k+ units when HSG comes out. |
Nice prediction Stickball, only ahead by 10K of actual numbers. I would have been interested to see what you predicted for hardware sales boost.

It seems that you really don't know what sarcasm is. Do you really think I would say something like that? And yes FF XIII is the biggest system seller for the PS3 in Japan.
My prediction was actually exceeded, now to wait for the monthly numbers, but I don't think it won't meet the 300k monthly number anymore.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Hmm... Nope. I'm not disappointed. I expected more. It's true but I feel good. Obviously you (I?) are (am) right - PS3 in Japan is in trouble. HSG5 made difficult situation a bit better though. Not a saviour I'd like to meet but still... Thank you for your attention.
