With the Yen so high, Sony should cut the PS3 price in Japan only. The current JP price of an 80gb works out to about $489cdn. For reference, in Canada it goes for $399cdn.

edit: Actually at current exchange rates, that equals $314US! I guess Canadians are getting quite a bargain... Were lucky consoles prices haven't risen!

Some games should see a nice push when GDC rolls around. ;)

Prediction:

TGS this year for PS3 will be amazing.

Grandia comes to PSN(PSone classic).

First Versus gameplay this year.

"[NDS] Annie no Atelier: Sera Shima no Renkijutsushi (Gust) - 10k"

Though it seems to have done a little better than the previous episode on DS (Atelier Lise, less than 7.5k first day sales), that's not some particularly great sales. I guess I can give up all hope of a "western" release of this game. And I doubt the recently announced PS3 "Atelier" game (Atelier Rorona) will do any better... I really need to improve my Japanese...

Wow. That's pretty good for a port of the first two Orochi games that are already available on PS2 and PSP.

Don't forget X360 too. KOEI sure knows how to milk their Dynasty Warrior fans.

Having said that, Orochi Z does offer the best value and quality. It may end up sold more than 200K in Japan, not too bad for a port.

It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

It definitely is the best bang for your buck, especially if you have a PS3. I feel kind of ripped off since I had bought WO2 just before they announced WOZ. That's not to say that I won't be getting WOZ when it releases in the US, since I haven't really touch WO2 and probably won't now with the impending release of Z.
