The 10M by end of the fiscal year that Nintendo wants might happen in January :lol

Only if they're able to ship that many.
Can't wait to see December NPD. I'm predicting 2 million for December.

I suspected Spirit Tracks wouldn't reach Phantom Hourglass. Sold less in 5 days than PH did in 2.
What's the Media Create LTD for PH?

Like someone pointed out in the other MC thread, the FFXIII numbers are pretty good when you take into account the PS3 installed base. Now we'll see if FF can grow the install base. Have to admit, the price cut did wonders. FFXIII should help.

If FFXIII doesn't help, consider it the PS3's swan song. Same for NSMB. If neither game causes a lasting impact after the holidays then what is left for them?Vilix said:
So... based on my massively early guesses for near future notable releases: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18771240&postcount=436
For Dec, I was too high on ToG, too low on FFXIII, and about right for Zelda. It's kinda funny, because others were telling me I was going too low for ToG and Zelda, and too high for FFXIII. The recent sales are definitely not as predictable as we thought!

Gran Turismo 5 is the last big PS3 game that will have an impact on a worldwide scale.
Or it should. GT3 was a system seller, GTP was very much not, and GT4's sales are sorta hard to gauge as far as system selling power is concerned considering the fanbase already owned a PS2.
As for FFXIII's second week, the drop off is consistent with FFX-2 (along with the first week numbers), so if it stays on track, it'll stop at just about exactly 2 million. If it starts to drop off even more, it will stop just before 2 million just like FFX-2. Either way, this is definitely a bigger success than anyone on GAF predicted.

Well, for the PS3, I'd say GT5. But, honestly, if FFXIII doesn't become the killer app Sony needs then I'm not sure how GT5 would. I'm not saying the PS3 is going to fail! So, everyone can just relax.
But, the IPs that made Sony a must have console are running out. It's just too soon to tell, and we may not know until the PS4 and WiiHD are released.On the other hand, Nintendo has a few IPs to fall back on. If they could ever get some sort of Pokemon Online RPG/MMO out that would definately help. Plus, I'm sure they're working on more software apps for the non-gamers that made the Wii so successful in the first place.

I thought GAFers were predicting too low... but I didn't really care enough to do it.:lol
Mario I expected to do well, but I figured it would hit this point in a month, not it's second week. It's doing insanely better then I expected. So in essence I expected FFXIII to do about as well as it is, but am a little shocked by Mario. I shouldn't be though, that fat Italian bastard has given me little reason to doubt him.

GT5 probably will sell a lot of PS3 in europe where the series fucking big, in japan, I don't think it will push many PS3.

Gah, the home consoles are dead in Japan.AniHawk said:
The entire home console market won't even get to 17 million units combined.

I thought Sony did that a few years ago?AniHawk said:

It won't last, and the home console market will die...
And I will feast on the carrion.
Because PS3 couldn't even outsell Wii this year in Japan? That's a very huge harbinger.duckroll said:
PS3 had a dramatic price cut and FFXIII released. Wii had its weakest software year and is pretty much saturated in the market in Japan. Situation could not have been more favorable for PS3 to at least post better sales on the year overall.
And yet...

That dosn't make sense, what is Wii LTD? 8M? Wii can still grow, DS is way past the 20M mark and still growing...
And PS3 will not end too far behind Wii, (this year), I doubt many people thought this could happen, when this year began....
AniHawk said:
Yeah, it looks even laggier and unresponsive...totally different!
Teddman said:
Huh? I see... and here I was under the assumption that "dead" meant that there was no demand in the market whatsoever for any of the products and hence developers would no longer bother releasing any more products for it. I guess the definition of dead has changed quite a bit over the years and now it also refers to "second place competitors in a market which has shown it is able to sustain several platforms at once". Oh well.

WHERE DO I SIGN
When I say dead, I mean it in like an aging mans penis kind of dead. I mean yeah, it's still there, but it doesn't do much of anything. It occasionally makes a mess on itself, but it's rarely something you want to make attention of.duckroll said:

That dosn't mean it's not a healthy system, much like with the PSP and the DS
Edit: if that goes for what I said, I mean this year LTD, not total.
A lot of people thought it would actually exceed the Wii overall. It was outselling it week after week.Relaxed Muscle said:
Don't act like this is not a dramatic slap in the face to the FF franchise and its hardware selling power. It's a definite sign the people are not willing to pay HD console premium in Japan, even for a top ranked franchise like Final Fantasy.
All I'm sayin'!
