Forums - Sales - The hardest japanese ps3 prediction yet: Will TALES OF VESPERIA boost ps3?

wolfofthepack on 17 September 2009

dont think it will have a big effect on ps3 hw sales i assume the people who want TOV already have a ps3 (but i could b dead wrong)

Imagine a scenario in which if ToV weren't releasing, the PS3 would drop 50%. Because ToV is releasing, however, it only drops 25%. ToV clearly provided the PS3 with a boost of 25% of the previous weeks sales, but the PS3 itself has a drop rather than a boost.

I would find it crazy if the hardware drops down to sub 30k, and would find it incredibly shocking that the hardware goes up over 70k.

In between that, I wouldn't be too suprised.

In a slightly off topic note, whats the gap between the ps3 and wii for the yearly japan sales in 2009?

145,636... if my math is correct.  So still a decent amount of distance but PS3 obviously has closed some ground recently.

Should offset most of what Japan sales would otherwise have lost.

I think sales will stabilize for the week and stem off whatever drop that would have happened.

it "WILL" be over 50k dont know how high it will be though

unlike the 360 version the ps3 doesnt have a HW bundle so the HW boost wont be that high it might just keep it where its at now

ill say 50-60k but anything can happen i woudnt be surprised if we saw higher than 60k
