Enterbrain boss Hamamura Hirokazu has told the Japanese press that he expects December's release of FFXIII to result in the sale of 500,000 PS3 consoles in Japan.

That's serious s**t, Ringo.

Hirokazu added that the recently announced PS3 price cut will also be a driving factor for sales figures that month.

If achieved, the figure would represent a 250 percent increase from December 2008.

FFXIII release for PS3 on December 17 in Japan, followed by PS3 and 360 releases in the west early next year.

Thanks, PS3Center.
