I think it will.

I made a whole thread on key franchises like this that will help the ps3 like half an hour ago, but everyone ignored it. :(

Please, somebody click here, read my thread, and respond. It would be much appreciated. :)

They game is very popular in Japan. The past few iterations have sold up to 5x as much in Japan as in the US.

1.7million!! Wow I would have never thought this series is so popular in Japan. Expect a boost of PS3 sales around the time of its release.

Edit: Does anyone know when the game is being released in Japan?

Yeah its big over in southeast asia. Hot Shots might help Japanese sales but I don't see it doing much globally, not withthe Tiger Woods franchise out too.

HotShot Golf is a BIG seller in Japan, I believe it's known as "Everybody's Golf" or something like that over there. It will boost PS3 sales in Japan definitely. How much is still undetermined. Man, I want that price drop.

I had a lot of fun with the original on the PS1. I haven't played any other iteration of the game, though. I might check this game out when I get a PS3, whenever that may be.
