^Fair enough, as I said its unlikely, but not impossible, so I'm also waiting to see what happens in December

Where did I flame in this thread?

By calling someone a troll?

From my point of view, a troll is someone who doesn't need to say offensive things (that is the definition of flaming), but someone who tries to pull others into pointless arguments/conversations with him, and that, in this case, is exactly what Avinash is doing.

ok now i get why you send me a wall post to comment on your thread. What do you want me to comment?

Name calling is flaming.

That is all, if you dont have anything productive to add apart from calling people names, dont add anything at all.

I wanna know what you think. You think it can make it when looking at recent sales?

Well maybe yes, maybe no. Last year the best selling week for X360 was 932k and this is without any significant numbers in Japan. With FFXIII I don't see why it won't reach 1 million the week before Christmas. Whatever if it reach it or not it will be tight.

I thought there was going to make a list in the OP of votes for and against when I opened the thread. I was going to vote YES. But my opinion prior to BF week was that a 1 million week for PS3 was unlikely.

Traditionally the final week / weekend before Christmas in Americas has higher sales than BF week. So Americas alone should get PS3 half way to 1 million. One possibly confounding factor is that Christmas is on Friday this year, meaning there are 5 whole shopping days between FFXIII week and Christmas day. This could see flattening of sales across 2 weeks and pull PS3 down a bit on FFXIII week (except for Japan of course). I would guess the best pre-Christmas week is when Christmas falls on a Monday or Tuesday.

Other than BF week PS3 has traditionally sold better in Others than in Americas. If Ameerica has rediscovered the Playstation brand then this generational trend could be reversed. But on current this gen history: BF week Americas means 1 million is possible even without Japan contributing it's FFXIII boost. So PS3 could clear 1 million by a reasonable margin and even nudge past 1.1 million.

It is likely the ps3 may do a million without japan into the equation, and the ps3 may sell gangbusters FF XIII week.

Well, I accept your point :)

And anyway, I would add my opinion if a lot of other members wouldn't have written it already :P

ALL i know is ps3 is gonna outsell xbox 360 this holiday because everyone is starting to realize that u get more out of a ps3 than a 360 and it does the same things as xbox 360. The biggest thing though is going to be blu ray.. many ppl want blu ray and can get a ps3 for 300 vs 250 which just plays hd movies. PS3 FTW!!!!!!
