Forums - Sales Discussion - Final Fantasy XIII to sell at least 1.5mil Japan first week !!!!!!

ioi said:
FFXIII should be good for around 0.9 - 1.2m week one based on past trends, preorder information etc.

@ Soriku fare enough. What other prediction have they made which they were spot on with?

 

So ioi would that work out at around 1.5-1.6 mil ltd or something then? Going by how front loaded these games tend to be?

I think it will do at least 1.5m First week. I just cant grasp the idea that the PS2 with a higher less hardcore user base can get 40% attach rate first week but the ps3 Which has sold sequals to PS2 at higher rates to the userbase then the PS2 did.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

even if the first shipment prediction is low, TF for ToV on PS3 would be right on though. So Famitsu hates RPGs on PS3 because the RPG is gonna sell as it predicts lifetime?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

@ioi

OMG YOUR HYPED FOR FF13 TOO!!!!!
_________

@serious

I agree with you!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

At ioi yhyh ok i will check those games out. But what you have to take into account is that some games that were PS2 exclusive are now multiplat so it will have an affect on the data. Like for Resident Evil 5.

The reason i never mentioned the attach rates for a few of the games on the list is because of the userbase the PS2 had so i understand that argument ioi. You do have a point with MGS4 it as really hyped at the time.

"Comparing the PS2 userbase 14 months in with the PS3 userbase 3 years in isn't right - the situations are totally different."

Is that something to do with the "active" userbase?

because the west began to like Final Fantasy so the Jappies began to turn it down.

it's all about the race + add the afro guy (sorry can't say niggah) = minus points
