Early march...
Star Ocean 4 , Street Fighter IV , Resident Evil 5... Good line-up , good price...
Might do 15-20k this week so...

Agreed.

Btw, what an accomplishment for MS.  While it may be far behind its home-based competitors, it will easily more than double the install base of its predecessor in Japan.  THAT is progress.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit 1 million shortly after Star Ocean drops.

June...i think sales might dry up a little bit even with the release of some heavy hitters



I started making videos for youtube; check them out.

Hmm. Should be another eleven weeks or so, so I say early March.
Around the same time PS3 hits 3 million, I think.

April I say, SO4 releases soon and RE5, SF4 but the latter 2 are also on PS3 and people will most probably get it for the PS3 in Japan.

Better question is that do you think PS3 will hit 3 million in Japan before 360 hits 1 million? I have to say YEP, Yakuza 3 and all those multi-plat games will be sure to help the consoles more then the 360 in Japan. (No unlike NA and EU price in not a issue in Japan, if it was a certain next gen console would be selling more than the PS3 looking at the price point.)

The 360 isn't selling in NA and EU just because of price - its library also matches the western tastes about as good as the PS3 does. The same can't be said about its lineup in Japan, where it's missing the most popular games.

Otherwise, I can say in NA and EU price is not an issue, otherwise a certain next gen console would be selling more than the Wii...

OT: March.

Could be tight. Previous high profile releases of the kind have bumped a total of 20-30k on average.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
