Final Fantasy will never break a million week one again Crazzy.

Gran Turismo 3 - 1,9 mln. with 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.

PS3 will 100% reach 3 mln. by the release of FFXIII, so you FAIL. It`s debatable about 4-5 mln., since the FFXIII release date in Japan is unknown, BUT FFXIII will EASY cross 1 mln. first week.

There's a huge logical fallacy here, and no one is calling Crazzy on it... guess I have to.

Sorry to break it to you, but Gran Turismo 3 did not sell 1.9m copies on a "4m" install base. It sold 1.9m copies on a 22m install base. Unless you somehow believe that it sold every copy the first week it was out? Hate to break it to you, but Gran Turismo 3 only sold 565k its first week, and a little over 1 million in its first month. It then continued to sell in a slowly diminishing tail over the next three years. Those are tremendous sales, but it's simply untrue to say that it sold "1.9m on a 4m install base". By the time the game stopped selling, the install base was much, MUCH larger.

According to Crazzy's logic, Gran Turismo 3 sold 7m copies in America on a PS2 install base of 4m (July 2001)! Now that's Crazzy talk. =))
