Forums - Gaming - With 6 to 7 million PS3's sold in Japan to 1 Million for the 360,

Max King of the Wild on 02 April 2009

1.5 million? 360 has averaged less than 333k a year since launch. i think thats being to generous actually. ps3 less than 1.5 million but it could pull a psp with a price drp and ff13 so it could potentially increase its yearly avg a bit.

ps3 potentially 5 million.

360 id say less than 1.5

No they are not.  I can go back all the way to PS1 days to show staggering sales for Gran Turismo games and at the least all the way back to SNES days to show staggering sales for Final Fantasy games.

Can you also show where these games sell 1 million consoles as you are assuming here? Because that isn't going to happen, it won't even be close. And on top of that none of those games are actually confirmed to be released in 2009. Basically this means your opening post is filled with so many wrong assumptions there really isn't a basis for a reasonable discussion.

 

       It will be close.  I'm sure that if this site had sales information for the PS1 the week that FFVII was released in Japan it would show that the PS1 sold 1 million consoles in Japan that week.  And, I'm sure it would show the same for GT2 or GT3.

 

Actually this site shows PS1 sold 165k consoles in Japan the week FFVII released. Which is about equal to what PS2 sold in the week FFX launched. No way near 1 million.

oh... wow.. im blind. he said 1.15.... id say at least 1.3 that would mean its increased its yearly avg.

Final Fantasy VII sold 2 million copies week one in Japan. I'm sure that it have to have sold very close to 1 million consoles there that week as well. And, even if it didn't sell 1 million consoles its first week, FFVII was certainly responsible for the sale of 1 million or more PS1's.

 

 so it sold more than half of it's total sales in the very first week?  it only sold 3.94 in japan, do you have a source for this?  I can believe that as a worlwide number, but not japan only.  This thread is full of all sorts of fail, and it is all coming from BT. 

Here's some advice BT, when the vast majority of people commenting on your thread are telling you that you are full of crap.  It is probably because you are.  Recognize this fact and learn from it and don't make any more fail threads like this again.

Its only 2 mill.

The 360 is curently beating the ps3 by 8.81 mill in america and 1.53 in others, should what you say apply here (expecially in america)?

 

And 6-7 times more ps3s than 360? Where in gods name are you getting your numbers?

 

In a nutshell for you, whats the point of choosing 360 for JRPG's in japan? If clearly, they don't do well.

oh wow... you know what actually 1.3milion would actually be over 7k weekly for the 360... its already way under that. 1.15 seems kinda low but not by much. i wouldnt say much higher than 1.25. that would still put it at about 6250 weekly.

 but its numbers have been dropping drastically as of late.  And they don't have one game anywhere near the Japanese Top 30.  It is going to hit 1,500 per week again in Japan several times between now and the release of Lost Odyssey 2.

 Fancy a bet on that figure, I could do with some of that nice stack of cash you've got .  I'm willing to bet the 360 doesn't dip to 1500 or below.

     I'll bet $750 vgchartz dollars that the 360 hits 1,500 between now and 1-1-2010.
