Enterbrain: FF13 to sell 500K PS3s in Japan
Posted on September 14, 2009	by Nick

Famitsu magazine publisher Enterbrain is expecting big things from the PS3 this holiday season in Japan.  Enterbrain president Hirokazu Hamamura told press earlier today that he expected 500,000 PS3s to be sold in December off of the release of Final Fantasy XIII and the reduced price of the PS3 game console. 

Enterbrain is a leading publisher of the game industry sales in Japan, so a prediction like this definitely holds a lot of pull.  500,000 units would be a remarkable upswing for the PS3, marking nearly a 250% increase from December 2008 and increasing the PS3's current userbase roughly 15%.

Enterbrain competitor Media Create has also stated they expect the Japanese PS3 userbase to swell to 5 million before the end of Sony's fiscal year in March, which would represent a doubling of their userbase over the past fiscal year.

I severely doubt that, but then again, I severely doubted the Slim would give the PS3 +500k sales worldwide for the week, so what do I know.

Uhhhhh.... that's.... alot....

Possible I guess.

Wrong conclusion in the title. This expectation is for December, so it is including all the "normal" sales it will have in December. Besides, it is just an estimation, they could be totally off.

FF kids, the Halo of Japan.

PS3 sales will be higher then 500k, i said it first.

Possible.

Especially if they offer a White PS3 in the bundles.

It can happen. It most likely won't.

But yeah this holliday season will be the best of the generation.

FF13 plus GT5 and it's definitely possible.
