I just really think FF13 is going to wonders for the franchise based on only the vids we have seen mostly because the art and style seems so breathtaking if implemented without hiccups. I however do see 2 tide shifting titles that should hit Japan hard and well...LBP and White Knight. If WKC is solid it will do wonders for the FF audience and LBP will do wonders for getting consoles in homes. I think LBP is the only real wildcard here. If the game takes off it could change not only a bit of the PS3 perception, which i think is the PS3's main downfall. It will be interesting but at this point im firmly in the camp of FF13 being a HUGE seller based on what ive seen from generation to generation franchises. |
I agree FF13 will give PS3 a much needed boost in Japan, and I have no doubt it will sell a ton world wide. My point in running the numbers was to show that it would be difficult for just Japan to outsell the 360 version WW, which is the bet the OP was about.
LBP is one of the factors that could influence 13 to stray from the trend set by 10, hence my disclaimer after the analysis.
