Yes, it's getting Monster Hunter G (with a demo of MH3) and the upturn into Golden Week.

Special edition PS3.

Why nobody writes "XBOX360 is doomez" articles? I want some of them!!!

Yeah, that Ps3 sold 40k this week.

I'm wondering. Have you guys think in Nintendo doing this with a Dragon Quest X demo?

You can't, because then you would get the Red Ring of Death.

@outlawauron:

Ah, forgot about that. It will be interesting to see how well MHG will sell.

The japanese market is very small anyway

when the ps3 will outsell by 4 times wii in others or usa then we can talk about it

sony is trying to have bloggers with its side now because they sold some ps3 more lately in a super small region

what matters is EU-USA

You know what I'm wondering? If we'll see "PS3 is doomed" articles when it stops outselling the Wii like it currently is. I wonder if the media will be as sensationalist as it's been with the Wii decline in Japan.

Not this time NJ5.

Check out the Metal Gear Solid 4 spike in Japan from June 2008. 77k for MGS4 week one. Then 23k for MGS4 week two. This may be Final Fantasy, which is 4-5 times bigger in Japan, as a full game but the demo pushed PS3 up less, costs more/game play but it isn't a full game. PS3 will probably drop to 20-25k next week - still higher than normal - but with the Final Fantasy XIII demo you have the Square-Enix fanboy effect in full swing. People bought a PS3 for a demo. No other PS3 software got a boost. This implies it was a spike, not a real, lasting increase in demand. The massive sudden jumps on games like this are unstable. A jump to 30k, 35k would have been much more promising as it would have likely lasted 4-5 times longer.
