Once again, we were right! (Sony fans) and 1 million this week is a possibility.

It seems that the Japan prediction MAY have both FFXIII and PS3 undertracked.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Yea but not by that much at all especially for the actual game.  But hardware in the Japan Preview are actually just estimates not based off early data though so generally they can be a little off.  But considering we were still pretty close, I'd say the Source did a pretty good job.

impressive ... if true

so it will be probably a very close to 1M week and perhaps 1M week indeed ...

someone said 750k without counting japan ...

We've been over this many times. Japan previews are *obviously* estimates...

1.5 mil is a darn good attach rate in Japan, but we will have to see about legs...

Software is where I expected but the hardware is well above my expectation. It may actually beat the Wii in Japan this week.

Damn the Hardware jump is really big and unexpected tbh.

Not bad, assuming they are from a decent source, but I don't think PS3 will make 1m this week unfortunately

Well I would say it should be able to.  750k-800k from the rest of the world I would assume unless PS3 hit a stale point/sellouts it shouldn't really have too much of a problem with about 230k-250k PS3's sold in Japan.  I mean give or take this million week is going to be based more on timing but still million in one week is impressive nonetheless.  But yea I'd say a million for PS3 last week seems in the bag.  Would have never thought it before this but never under estimate FF in Japan right. 

Basically, PS3 HW outside Japan needs to jump 25%. Last year it jumped 20%, but 360 hardware jumped 29%... so it is certainly possible
