Wow 65k? Really? I guess that's what I get for taking advice from ethomaz

But still even before ethomaz tainted my prediction I thought it would do more than a 25k increase.

then you should be taking advice from myself

65k for PS3, I swear PS3 was suppose to see massive gains in Japan this Q according to some?

i want PROOF! what type of gains? according to who? why didnt you call em out then or now? i believe its b/c you were unsure of the outcome yourself and afraid to put your word on the line, and once results are revealed do you then leave your snark comments 

 

example of providing proof ie: also from the same link above

i noticed a perpetrator claiming that this week would be a tie between the two HDs (lol) b/c he assumed that JP would be in the 150k+ range,  i then immediately quoted him and stated what i thought the gaps would be around.   Shortly after being quoted myself i also responded to what JP numbers would be for the PS3, "i still think next week wont be a tie at all i doubt the FF bundle will do over 100k in JP im thinking HW will be a little higher than what it was for GT since SW sales shouldnt be much higher than GT" 

 

gt5 did 400k something and HW was also in the 60k range i believe. . .

I can think of 3 people in my head right now (1 already called out in this thread) but no I'm not gonna name drop,

Oh be quiet BHR, you really are full of it. I barely know anything about Japan sales so I don't bother making 'guesstimates' hence why I listen to what other people predict, further hence why PS3 did a lot worse than I expected. Post office, ethomaz and another guy all thought waay over 100k.

I don't put my word on the line unless I'm sure of it, unlike you I don't pick a number out of thin air and hope for the best.

Xilla > FF


That's pretty bad for Square isn't it? Tales now a bigger franchise on PS3 than FF? I guess it wasn't a main FF though so not fair to compare.

Xillia was the first real tales game on the PS3, it was exclusive and got a huge hype before the release

XIII-2 is not a main FF, not the first this gen, not an exclusive, and more importantly ... no one asked for it, every one just wanted Versus XIII when SE decided to make XIII-2 and release it before Versus , an easy money I guess , and they got it

Now, I'm really worried about Versus XIII :(



And there you have it folks, The proof FFXIII was garbage.

FW JPN FFXIII(PS3) sales ~1.5m
FW. JPN FFXIII-2(PS3) ~ 0.5m

Over a million Japanese gamers passed on the sequel. That's impressive and I've found faith in the gaming community once again.

Reality hurts Squeenix. Maybe now you'll get the fuck off your high horses.
