but GOw3 & FF13 release near march for the west

True, FF13 could convince retailers to stock a few more PS3s... but since it's a multi-platform game, I very much doubt the effect could be big enough to cover a few million units.

 

We're talking Japanese sales here dude.

Err, "dude", I think you have to read the post I was replying to again (or for the first time, whichever is the case).

my bad



The real system sellers are GT5 and potentially FF13... everything else is laughable, just look at the impact MGS4 had. Technically it was a system seller since it boosted hardware sales for a week or two, but in the grand scheme of things does 100k or 200k of a hardware sales boost really matter?

I understand all games are important to keep hardware sales up, but if we're talking about system sellers as "hardware sales boosters" in the weeks following their launch, then let's get real here.

@atma

truth be told

IF ANYTHING it is GT5 that can be a real system seller for PS3

it comes from a 10 million per game selling franchise

I'm sure you expected Halo 3 & Zelda to sell TONS of Xbox 360's & wii's respectively

well guess what, Gran Turismo is bigger than both of them

I lol'd.

lol @ what

facts taken from this website?

I just pulled the figures of Wikipedia. I wasn't really making any point with the sales.



@dobby

but I assumed you were as you posted right after me & it seemed like you were going against the point I made
