200k is more than enough.

It won't even sell through half that in it's first week.

You honestly think demand for the PS3 will be that high in freakin Japan? Other systems that japan actually likes don't even put up those type of numbers, not even when DQ, Pokemon and Monster Hunter come out. PS3 has no chance lol.

I don't really care what it sells it's initial week, all remodels and new releases sell great because that's when the hardcore fanbase rushes to the stores.

I'm interested in PS3 sales next year after the holidays.

Can it possibly move over 20k a week again?

can it outsell the Wii?

Will it go to sub 15k, 10k a week again?

it will be very interesting to see how sales are effected.

PS3 5K.

My guess is the baseline of sales will be in the 15-20K per week range for the forseeable future.

Japan will be the biggest gainer due to the redesign. That is what they have been waiting for. Add the new slim version and a lower price and Japan will start to sell 50,000+ per week. Probably 100,000+ the first week.

These are realistic numbers .
