Let's hope the gundam game is pretty good. Does anyone know how big the hype for it is in Japan?



Probably gonna be higher than that since the PS3 sale are low and probably gonna be even lower than what it is now the week preceding the Slim release. Percentage is pretty meaningless though, especially when sale are so low. What I wonder if it's the increase in unit will be higher than the one Wii got with MH3, it will be interesting to compare price cut vs popular exclusive software when it come to pushing console.

But as others have noted.

 

PS3 isnt PS2.

 

Its better,but much smaller exclusive game selection.

O.o PS2 had a shit load of multiplats, while Xbox had so many envious exclusives >.< (I wanted to play Jade Empire, Fable I, KOTOR, etc)

Yes, PS3 isn't PS2, but it has a much bigger exclusive game selection than it's predecessor. If you're talking about the Wii/360 line up, that's subjective, but all 3 have some big titles this year and next year Q1!

Famitsu expects a lifetime of around ~200k I believe.

Japan likes things small. I expect to see the PS3 do much better now that the slim is coming out. And its cheaper.



@Akvod   Sure PS3 may have more exclusives than PS2 but how many are actually big?

 

I heard lots of games of which will only sell 2 or 3 mill life time thats about 10 years while big games yet to be on the PS3.



Percentages lie. Numbers don't.

Honestly, if it was increasing 560% from 25,000, that would be moderately more impressive.
