Star Ocean III sold nearly 400.000 in its first week and 1.2 million in a lifetime in Japan. This game will never hit not even sell half of that. But only anti Sony fans find that hard to believe, as usual.

1.2 million LTD is worldwide, mate.

Square Enix is now probably debating if they should make a 360 port of FFXIII for Japan and squeeze a few hundred k more sales.

Why not think about putting SO4 on PS3 to squeeze out a few hundred K more sales as well?

Edit - Awww... Max beat me to it.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

If it would get released next year, then they should just forget about it. I don´t see how they could release it on PS3 in less than a year if they haven´t been working on the conversion so far though.

Too late for that one, day 1 release of both versions seems to be the best way to do it, just look at SF 4 sales.

not bad sales for dead rising - should make 10-12k first week which is quite good for almost 3 year old port of 360 game.

Onna76 you DO realize that when SO3 hit the market there was 12mln ps2 in japan?

RPG - about your bet. Yakuza usually has long legs but i think this one will be more front loaded and shorter life.
