Wow, just seeing these releases, there is no way the Wii will outsell the PS3 this holiday season, since the Wii effect has affectedly gone down. PS3 is up for a monstrous holiday season in Japan.

Actually Wii has the clearly stronger lineup in Japan I mean PS3's big games look to be Tekken, Dragon Ball and FF13

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

If they release an NSMB Bundle, it'll be epic win for Wii this holiday

Wow, MW2 in December on PS3.

Also, I was hoping Nintendo would go head to head with FF XII. Would have been fun.

PS3- Final Fantasy XIII + White PlayStation 3 Console Bundle- Final Fantasy XIII
Wii- NHK Red/White Quiz Battle



PSN - hanafuda

I think it's pretty stupid to put Tales of Graces right before Final Fantasy XIII.

Well it's much better than putting it on the same week or a week after only alternative would be delaying tales to after holidays but this could be even worse than releasing before FF.

You all underrestimate the power of Wii Fit+ and NSMB Wii
No FF13 other other games can beat that!

It will be an interesting few months in Japan. It still seems like it may end up as a virtual tie to me, which would have been hard to predict for the PS3 a year ago. But I think both consoles will be up substantially in Japan compared to last year, and console software sales will be way up as well, as both consoles have much stronger lineups than last year.
