Forums - Sales Discussion - Some ps2 heavy hitters might be selling better on the PS3

@leo-j

IF it gets a reception like FFX/FFVI/FFVII then YES...if not then NO

Also

JAK 3 pretty much bombed..

I just wonder if a AAA title like Fina fantasy XIII can outsell a game like FF X, I hope this trend continues.

 thats a good question. That game will sell millions in all 3 territories, so maybe.

The rEVOLution is not being televised

You guy should really compare 1st outing on console with each other...

What you guys are doing is like comparing Zelda:MM with Wind Waker, yes WW did well, ya it outsold MM, but compare it OoT.

Look at the PS2 with most 1st debuts were the biggest sales(exception GTA)

FFX> FFXII
GT3> GT4
Jak1 > Jak2 > Jak 3
MGS2 > MGS3
MoH:Frontline > rising sun

those are a few that pop into my head.

So I like the FFX to FFXIII comparison(I really don't think this one has a shot, at least not in Japan), MGS2 to MGS4(this one is possible), GT3 to GT5(I don't think it will happen), Rachet 1 to Rachet:tod(I havent looked into it, but I think data is missing)

anyways you get the point.
Basically the PS3 audience is a good one now, even the people who bought a PS3 for Blu-Ray MIGHT get a game if it looks good to them, if they bought a 40-600 dollar PS3 for Blu-ray money is not an issue and I am sure they are willing to give a game a shot. The non- blu ray PS3ers ARE very hardcore.. or rich... either they can be a good "attach rate audience"

Leo-j, you've been here wayyyy too long to have an excuse for this crap. PLEASE remember to check the other graphs. R&C on PS3 is tracking worlwide barely above R&C on PS2 in North America only.

When you compare them in America:

Yay PS3?



You have to take into consideration the lack of PS3 games as well. If Ratchet and Clank released on a PS3 with MGS4, FFXIII and GT5 I'm quite sure it's sales would drop quite a lot.
