George P Global Moderator Posted October 25, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2008 They should end the year close to 1mil I think. Though it's only 2 months left to go, I think they can do it. Either way, with 800,000 or so that's enough for more devs to start looking at it more for Japan. Again, selling a million copies is nice but even 400-500k will make you money depending on initial dev costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only need another 28,000, which requires 3,111/3,112 each week for the next 9 weeks. Considering XBOX has been hitting around 10l range lately, I think this is pretty possible (especially as Christmas is coming up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted October 31, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2008 360 holding strong in the 7k+ range even now. I didn't think it'd stay up there for this long. I really don't get why people would wait for the new PS3 "model" when the only new thing about it is the bigger HDD. One of the pros about the system is that you can get any cheap HDD out there and just upgrade it yourself. And the Japanese are as tech savvy as it comes. So really unlike the 360 that is limited to an expensive HDD upgrade, why would you actually wait? I just don't see the need/reason to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really unlike the 360 that is limited to an expensive HDD upgrade, why would you actually wait? I just don't see the need/reason to. From my understanding, the new blu-ray drives are smaller in size, and you can expect a PS3 slim eventually. Now I know it won't be hitting the market in 2008, nor 2009, but it could be as close as the end of 2009, early 2010. and why not wait for more bang for your buck when the new models with a larger HDD come out?

That's not true. While you do get double the HDD space, you also get a DualShock 3 controller now in the new pack as well. And it also comes bundled with GT5 Prologue. All for the same price. Now why wouldn't you wait a few weeks for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Gil Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 the 360 is slowly starting to gather dust again in japan ;) Actually it's selling like in previous weeks along with the PS2, the PS3 just happened to "take off" this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted November 7, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted November 7, 2008 The jump in PS3 seems to have more to do with the release of new games like LBP then the release of a new SKU. If it was just the new model doing it I'd have expected higher than 39k. That's in-line with the sales of GTA4, LBP, and GT5. If loads of people were "just" waiting for the new unit with the bigger HDD then I'd be expecting 100k or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS3 has never gone over 100k in Japan I don't think. The Japanese are ignoring HD gaming, 39k is a very good amount right now for an HD console over there :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted November 9, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sure, but like the 360 before it, it'll drop down again in time. I just think the jump had more to do with new games then with a new SKU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
