a boost of that week doesn't mean PS3 will have a massive holiday season in Japan. The whole base of the original argument is that PS3 will domainate holiday season over 3DS with these games. That is certainly not true. 

As I mentioned earlier, even on the week of RE6 and ToX2 release, it's likely PS3 won't even outsell 3DS. It would be so far from dominating.

Well, I am responding to the "sequels don't sell consoles" argument. I agree that there's no way PS3 will outsell 3DS this holiday in Japan. However, RE6 and ToX2 will boost the PS3

Any big game release would boost the system on the week of release. I don't think people were saying it won't boose the PS3 at all. They were saying sequel usually doesn't make much difference in the big picture as the other person thought they would. 

" The PS3 wont dominate because those games are sequels to already existing games on the platform so the fans dont have any reason to buy the system again[...] "

This is what I'm responding to

And whqt would be the reason for the fans of those series to buy another console when they already have one?

For example Im a pretty big fan of pokemon but I havent buy another DS because they keep releasing pokemon games on the DS but I give you a point, I would have one another if there was an awesome pokemon special edition ds *.*

"Of course RE5 and ToX 2 will be huge on software, but on hardware side, all the people who wanted to play RE or Tales of has already a PS3. So these games won't be a system seller. Sequels don't sell platforms"

That was another one as well.

Oooo X-Zone has done well when I was away!





It's odd that Resident Evil 6 on the 360 hasn't shown up yet.

Have a lot of Japanese people who bought 360's early on kept them this far into the generation?

It's a fair point though.  If PS3 can manage 27 pre-orders in a day, it's surprising that 360 can't manage 20 pre-orders overall.

All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ saidTrue the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

 2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

You jinxed it! lol 0 pts



I think the pre-orders for Tales of Xillia 2 can explode after the release of Resident Evil 6. What do you think?
