It will sell lots of copies but fail to improve hardware sales?

It will boost PS3 hardware sales much more than it would boost X360 hardware sales. FF XIII on PS3 should outsell the X360 FF XIII by 2 to 1 in favour of PS3. PS3 should also outsell the X360 by around 2 to 1 every week when this game is launched.

In Japan PS3 will outsell X360 in excess of 10 to 1 in favour of PS3.

 

I hope so, since the 360 only manages to sell 2-3k most weeks and won't even have FFXIII in Japan. So that's not saying much.

I still don't see it being any more of a hardware mover than GTAIV. Any gains will be modest and short lived, just like GTAIV and other similar games that cater to a specific audience many of which already have consoles.

 

 

QFT, though I'm not sure how FFXIII will do, I'm 100% positive it won't sell as many copies or have the perfect 10's that were paid for, in the long run it may be a better game then GTAIV but may not sell as well as past FF games as the console install base is not as big as it was other gens, plus it may not cater to the 360/PS3 crowd as well as the PS2/PS1 crowd in the past.
