I dont think so, many of the people with 360s have PS3s, and it sold extremely well there.

I think it will soften the drop in Japan.
I expect about 45k - 50k next week.

Yes as the title states (because I am overly dramatic) the ps3 is getting its first major RPG release (next to WKC which sold very well) TALES OF VESPERIA which according to "THE SOURCE" may sell over 200k its first week in japan, and has sold it on amazon japan just for indications of high demand. Now since we have the PS3 slim's launch and the ps3 has dropped nearly like a rock, does ANYONE believe TOV can boost ps3 hardware in japan? Possibly over 60k? Or 70k, or even 80k? Or will it drop yet again under 50k? Set your predictions now!

I think everyone who wanted it already bought it for the XBox 360. It sold over 100K it's first week on the 360. That game is old news now. Don't expect it to sell that much on the PS3.
