I would say no. It managed just over 700k on Black Friday, which is bigger than the week before Christmas, and FF13 in Japan won't give more than a 200k boost in Japan.

Now, if it was releasing during Christmas week itself, then almost certainly.

Look at numbers.

 

I think it could, but it will depend on # of bundles, in japan.

However, we all completely underestimated how bonkers japan would go over the slim, so it could be similar here.

so does anybody NOW THINK PS3 will sell 1m after square enix announced they were shipping 1.8m copies

It'll be very close. I voted "maybe," but I'm leaning toward "yes."

No. 250,000 over the current growth curve, max, and that's not enough to break 1 million.

Before you jump down my throat, keep in mind that this is as many consoles as Halo 3 -a much more-hyped game in a series with historically a much stronger attach rate- moved worldwide in its first three weeks. For FFXIII to move this many consoles in a single region in only one week would be absolutely friggin phenomenal. 1 million is simply unrealistic.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Wait...are you saying PS3 is going to sell 1 million units, WW? Because of a game launched exclusively in Japan...I'm missing why more units will sell in NA and PAL, because a game launches in Japan?


Not sure either, but you can also factor in imports for that bundle from many countries as well as purchasing the system and then importing the game itself. But I don't really know at this point but 1.8 million copies of FFXIII were shipped, not 1 mil like someone above mentioned

 



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

I hope that the console can reach the 1 million+ in one week mark but i doubt that this will happen sadly!

Maybe next year when the console has another price-cut



libellule on 17 December 2009

i voted maybe but I think it wont

Jp will be high but it will not be sufficient



Time to Work !

hunter_alien on 17 December 2009

Wow... if it will do over 900k, then its already way more then I was expecting :-O



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

bumblejr2 on 17 December 2009

shipping 1.8million so YEAH!



Netyaroze on 17 December 2009

I voted maybe if everything works perfect for sony then yes.

to reach 1 Million it would need

250k Japan
400k Europe
350k NA


Japan numbers seem possible but NA would need 140k plus and Others would need 120k plus.

But ioi said 920k how big is the average boost the week before Christmas ?

PS3 needs a boost of 40% in NA and 27.5% in EU. Is this usual for the time ?

How much consoles sold Xbox360 in its highest week ?
