ishiki said: Final Fantasy 9 and FF 12 both did this. FF9 was released when PS2 was out, and FF12 released a few weeks before PS3, and after Xbox 360. |
That's kind of my point. Both FF9 and FF12 saw massive drop offs in sales compared to the previous titles. And they had the advantage of being main entries in the series, which Versus XIII doesn't have.
FF8 to FF9 - 7.86m to 5.3m
FF10 to FF12 - 8.05m to 5.95m
Both games simply released too late imo. Both of the games normal hype was diminshed by being lost in PS2 hype then Wii,360,PS3 hype.
