Not really. Just like all of the other post-launch HD games to date, FFXIII has already moved almost all of the hardware that it's going to move. That's just how HD console owners have chosen to act as a group: buy the machine early and wait for the games. It's great for early sales, but it's why games like GTA4 and even the mighty Halo 3 have failed to produce permanent sales boosts after they launched: their sales boosts came right at the beginning.

When FFXIII launches in Japan, there will be a bump in hardware sales for maybe two weeks, and then sales will drop back to their previous levels. Maybe three weeks at the absolute most.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
