PS3 will have good times in Japan, RE5, SF4, Yakuza 3 and of course the big 2 FFXIII and Versus. Not bad at all but why MS persist there with the 360 is beyond me.

 

Not to bash or anything, but... MH3 will cannibalized the sales of RE5 if the rumor was true. Even Im a Wii fan I still dont get it why CAPCOM is doing this with their franchise

 

That has to be a mis print, no way would Capcom release there 2 biggest franchises in the same week and we have seen that they are not retarded. RE5 wont do much in Japan anyway, game is nothing but a shooter now but it will still shift consoles. PS3 will never get to Wii numbers anywhere but at least in Japan it can become the lead HD console of choice for consumers there. Thats a very good position to be in for Sony, Wii is not going to take the "hardcore" gamers from them.

 

360 could but look at those numbers, if it was going to do anything it would have happened by now. With all those games coming though to the PS3 the 360 has literally been finished there.

SONIC and Let's Tap sale not good,
BLEACH and 428 sale not bad

sega is having trouble in japan on both HD and wii, but they are making a fortune overseas on the wii. Sonic was expected to do bad, but not lets tap. It's not really that big of a deal though, you can't win with all of them. VF5 and VC did quite badly on HD consoles and cost many times more to make. VC sells 260k while games like Sonic riders sell 650k and sega tennis sell 760k, house of the head 2/3 sells 840k, sonic and secret rings 2 million, samba de amigo already at 310k and M&S obviously pulling in loads of money.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

We all knew Japan is becoming niche market in terms of consoles right now, even Ninty knew this. I think even the Philippines have more console sales than japan.



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out
