If you take the sales numbers of Final Fantasy XII, Tekken 5, Metal gear Solid 3, Gran Turismo 4, round them up to the nearest million, and add them all up, and then assume that nobody that bought the previous iteration has a PS3 yet, and that all of them are willing to shell out $500+ to play that one game, and that all of them are seperate gamers (the metal gear fans aren't Tekken fans also, ect) in order to maximize sales for the PS3 you know how many extra people buy a PS3 in 08 (possibly 09 with some of those titles).

In this completely unrealistic scenario, that heavily favors sony you get...20 million. A generous 20 million extra units sold. By the end of 08, early 09. In addition to the modest sales of it so far. Nintendo will have over 20 million by march.

Face it, those few high end games aren't going to move the system that much. Not everybody that bought Gran Turismo 4 is going to buy a PS3 to play GT5, and if they did some of them would also cross blend into the Final Fantasy crowd. 20 million is a highly inflated number.

It's too little too late.

 huh, somehow i fit in this category. bought ffxii but none of the others, will be forking $$ to get ffxiii and ffxiii versus when they come out. though hopefully for <$500 by then... since they're a long way off. i am also going to get gran turismo 5... yay.



You Spoony Bard!

Sorry, but your PS3/360 is getting pwned by it every week.

Soriku you're browsing with your Wii aren't you? Me too :) OT Wii is graphically one gen back; PS3 & Xbox360 are 2 gens back control-wise.

Yeah, I am . Btw, what does OT stand for. And yeah, PS3/360 = step back control. wise

OT means On Topic While quoting someone with your Wii, erase both the p and /p blocks and write after the br/ block to make the post appear normally without the extra space :)
