Xbox 360 to sell more FFXIII’s than PS3?

Dodece, I gave dozens of reasons and the best you can give are "demographics" and "LULZ FANBOY LUST?" Enchanted Arms sold better on the PS3 than the 360 despite the game only having data for the Americas and the PS3 having a far lower userbase there. When you include data for Japan and PAL (if it was released in PAL), then the difference might be even larger.

We've seen plenty of big series on the Playstation 1 and 2 transition to the PS3 and see huge sales, even if they've sold more on the 360 (Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo, Call of Duty, Need for Speed, etc.). You can argue that the PS3 version won't sell as much as some people believe, but don't try to convince me or anyone else that the 360 version will sell better. You know it won't and so do I.

 

Not really the best example. What RPGs do PS3 owners have available besides Enchanted Arms? What RPGs do 360 owners have to choose from besides Enchanted Arms? Do I think FFXIII on the 360 will outsell the PS3 version? Nope. The game will win because of Japan. In the US, the 360 version has a good chance of trumping the PS3 game but that won't make up for the million plus gap that Japanese exclusivity creates.

You do realize that the PS3 is at just over 2 million units old in Japan right. I highly doubt FFXIII will hit 2 million units sold in Japan.

 

First, the PS3 install base in Japan should be a fair bit higher with WKC and the March bundle +more by the time FFXIII is released. Second, FFXIII will likely move a lot of Hardware.

Lifetime sales of 2 Million is easily reachable
