PS3 will be great in japan 2009 ?

duhhhh

I hope so.

I Think So

These are going to have nice numbers:
Street Fighter IV
Yakuza 3
Resident Evil 5
Final Fantasy XIII
Gran Turismo 5
Tekken 6
Team Ico

I don't know about the rest. The other thing is if they're going to move consoles as well. FF XIII and GT are a sure bet, but the rest not so much.

Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires (#5 in Japan) is hitting in January as well.

And White Knight Chronicles will hit a mere six days before the year begins.

Things are certainly looking up for the ps3.  If FFXIII hits at the end of the year, the ps3 will have had a VERY good year overall, compared to it's first two years on the market. Gran Turismo 5 should provide a nice boost as well, whenever it shows up.

Btw, quite a few of the games you've listed will be ignored by the majority of Japanese gamers, like Killzone 2 and InFamous.

THe first quarter will be very good ,if Sony does the right thing and couples this with a price drop they could be on something .

monster hunter 3 release could have a negtive imapct, depends on the release pS3 has to combat this
