Forums - Sony - Have you lowered your PS3 sales expectations for FFXIII launch week?

What would have made you raise your expectations?

This game is months away and if you don't think its going to sell crazy psp, you need help. I am surprised the bundle sold so well and iit has raised my expectations another 50k.

Jees this is a pathetic notion.
Its FF whats cap on sw? 1.7m? e.g. The userbase simply isnt there for these kinds of attatch ratios. Either sw will be incredibly lower than usual or the hw will need to go up significantly to support it. Remedial to think otherwise.



Ynwa.

"People who like this game have already bought xxx console" has always proven to be fanboy logic. We saw it with Halo, MGS, Wii Fit, etc.

After seeing this with the demo, I'm more confident with my predictions in place.

150-250k for hardware first week, 1.6m-1.8m software first week.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Sony will also bundle FF13 and they'll also put up special edition PS3 just like what they did with Yakuza 3 and FFAC.

Sony will be very stupid if they don't do this.
