Forums - Sony - What impact of MGS4, FFXII, Gran Turismo will have on Japan hardware sales?

W29 on 01 October 2007

This isn't flame bait, I'm curious to here members opinion on what hardware sales will look like weekly when these games come out.

FFXIIIBefore game release week 100k During game release week 200k After game release week 150kMGS4Before game release week100kDuring game release week 150kAfter game release  week 90kGran Turismo 4Before game release week 120kDuring game release week 200kAfter game release week 150k

Now thats my prediction and opinion on the Japanese hardware sales. I see it improving the PS3 for the week before and during, but goes down after that.

Again my opinion what do you guys think? 8)

Will there be bundles ?
Price cut before they release ? what will the jpn price be ?

 Is this the right forum to ask ?

I think you're being WAY too optimistic ...

Everybody's Golf 5 (a sequel to a highly popular series in Japan) only pushed sales of the PS3 to the 40,000 range. CC:FF7 pushed the PSP (a system which is more popular than the PS3 in Japan) into the range you're predicting for the PS3 but it required the help of a highly popular re-model for the PSP ...

Without a major change in the PS3 the best these games will do is push sales inot the 80k to 100k range.

I think you could be close if there is a price drop along whenever these launch in 2008.
