Forums - Sales - Can The PS3 Triple The Wii's Sales This Week In Japan For The 1st Time Ever

Millennium said:
Not for a demo. The PS3's crash-and-burn back to second place is nearly complete, and a demo is not going to save it. Congrats to Sony for a good long run in first, but it was doomed from the beginning, much like the PS3 itself.

 

Have you seen the Media-Create numbers?  >_>

Famitsu has been known to overtrack the Wii, but from the looks of this data, the Wii total isn't as all-time low as I'd expect.  Last week was particularly low for the system, but maybe predictions of Wii's demise were premature.

final fantasy is very niche in japan, they dont seem to like over emotional charactars with huge eyes, at least thats what i heard.

also it has futuristic setting with robots and such, which japanese people hate.

gt5p has already shown that demos sell like dried up crap

also xbox is japan main rpg console, so jrpg lovers have mostly xboxes and they will just wait till FFXIII comes out in US and then import it from the US of A.

you might think japanese would prefer japanese version, but theyre known to speak great english.

so i expect ps3 hardware to be in the 16745-16790 range

Don't even bother, and there's a lot of people in this website that try to be analysits without even having basic knowledge, like recent Japanese numbers. Going into a thread and posting like that makes someone lose all the credibility he/she might have had.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

It'll definitely double it. Triple...maybe.
