I do not understand why people feel it will not sell as many copies as Halo 3.
1. There are three main selling points of the world for gamers-North America, Europe, Japan.
The Xbox brand only has an appeal in two of those areas whereas the Playstation brand has a substantial appeal in all three of those areas.
There may have been more 360s out, but the PS3 has more of a WORLDWIDE appeal and bundles will count in sales. Let's be honest, this was thee game that many were waiting for(Japan and US) to get the PS3.
This 300,000 in Japan does not include Bundles.
I work at a Best Buy in Maryland. No one had any Bundles left June 12 after 3 O'Clock at the very very latest. My store recieved 30 on June 12 and they were all gone in three hours.
If Sony can do a better job of putting the bundle out than Nintendo does putting out Wii's(Though I suspect they do it on purpose to carry interest in the system), they may be able to sell a large amount.

You guys make me laugh - all I said was that Konami wants to make money and if sales dont match other similar titles with similar investments (like GTA 4) they might consider multi platform next time around. Some of you guys heaped crap on me for saying that? - Wankers. You guys are too touchy about that subject.
