Forums - Sales - Enterbrain expects 500k PS3 JP holiday from FF13, MC - 4.5m CY/ 5m FY

@ Final Evagelion

Your comparison doesn't do FF justice. FF is more popular than in that scheme.

Well know one expected the PS3 to sell 150k with the slim release. (Maybe Crazzyman did though).

GeOW America - 3.74 million (350 million people US/Canada)   93 people / Copy of GeOW

FF 10 Japan - 3.02 million (127 million people)  42 people / copy of FF10

Halo 2 America - 6.65 million (350 million people)  52 people / copy of Halo

 

Wow.  You are right.  Even more popular in Japan so far than Halo in America. 



"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

US's population is more than double of Japan's.

3.02 in Japan = 6.04 in the US.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

33.8 million (Canada) + 307 million (US) = 341 million and growing, which is what America is largely considered on this site.

 

Japan = 127 million and falling.

 

307/127 = 2.42

 

America = About 2.4 times the size.

I'll take the credible persons word over the fake wannabe analysts at this forum.

like... Michael Pachter?

Like....CEO's in Japan that know what they're talking about. Sony has been in the electronics industry for decades. They wouldn't make that sort of prediction if they didn't think it were going to happen.

 

Yes, I'll take their word over some 16 year old fanboys at this forum.

I see. However, what they think will happen does not mean it will happen for sure. When was the last time Sony made their target FY shipment for PS3?

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I beleive they hit is last year or came extremely close to it.



They hit their projections exactly last year with PS3 sales. Hit below with PS2 and PSP sales.

Although, this topic isn't Sony's projection. This is EB/MC, which are the two big tracking agencies in Japan that most of the industry follows.

Well the big selling games releasing this year in Japan are:
1. FFXIII
2. PES '10 (multi-platform but will sell well)
3. 99% chance of GT5

...............that is it. I think at best the PS3 will do another 1m million this year which is actually pretty darn huge for the console. Games like Ryu Ga Gokotu 4 next year will also spike sales some but chances are that the spikes will be bigger due to the price cut.

Do you mean the big selling games on the PS3?

Because if you didn't, HG/SS, NSMBWii, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit + and DQIX will probably beat the lot of 'em.



Ahh ok, it just was just a bit ambiguous what he meant.
