Some people really think the PS3 is going to have its biggest week ever because of a demo?

 Biggest week will be when the original game releases.

Either that, or GT5 week...

Let me rephrase that, biggest week so far.

If they make 77777 sets like with Crisis Core PSP, then it's possible to break 100k that week.

PS3 with a Final Fantasy VII engraving.  That is what will move alot of units for that week (and probably that week only).  Let me emphasize, Final Fantasy VII in Japan.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

i dont think just a demo will make ps3 sell over 100k, but since ff is so big anyways, i would put it at 75k.

So? Crisis Core, a Final Fantasy VII game, barely managed to make the PSP sell over 100k units. How will a demo of a less popular game sell almost as much copies?
And barely anyone cares about an engraving. Some people indeed do, but that's a very, very small group.
