Forums - Gaming Discussion - Final Fantasy XIII outsold Final Fantasy XII

There are reasons other than Square being incompetent that companies are making less money today.  Are you aware of the global economic situation.  Japanese companies are getting screwed in the rear by the BOJ's intervention policies which continue to debase the yen, meaning that more and more yen in nominal terms equal less and less value in real terms. 

As far as good FF games go, I pray that Sakaguchi goes back to Square and works on FF XV.  I'm pretty confident the game will blow otherwise.

@a2035  oh I think 75mil was a crazy #, that I doubt.  I guess they did take a high profile exclusive but was it worth it??? I mean that PS3 to 360 ratio is huge. Im shocked the US PS3 version beat the 360 that badly I honestly thought it would be close. It seems to me that people who really wanted FF13 already had a PS3, i think if it stayed exclusive those 360 sales would not have transferred to PS3 anyway. On a side note I dont think ME 2 on PS3 is going to do hot either, ill be shocked if it sells 1mil.  On another side note im loving this arms race of company's taking games from each other. Portal 2, ME2, DS: extraction, Muramasa. I love to see the drama unfold

yeah, well the sales altogether are actully not that bad, but FF13 cant be that popular because it would outsell FF8, 10, and 7, and it wont. i think the ratio isnt too bad in the west, considering the Japanese dont seem to like the 360.

oh and Mass Defect will be a very interesting to see, because i think it could be very popular on the PS3, but without ME1, its doubtful the series can reach success on the PS3. lol, @ arms race.

@Vyselegend, yeah i agree, they need to bring Sakaguchi back for the next one!!
