Do you think a PS3 FFVII remake would outsell FFXIII?

No way it would outsell it, most of Final Fantasy VII's original buyers have grown up and moved away from gaming I am guessing. I am saying it wouldn't set the world on fire like it did the first time. I know it is hard to believe when all you read are online gamesites like this, but you are reading comments and chatting with the only people who would more than likely still buy it. I would be on the buying side guaranteed.

The average gamer is somehting liek 33 years old.  The idea that people grow up and move past gaming died a decade ago.  If a person was in their 20's when they played it the first time, they are still well within the average gamer age and if they were in their mid-teens then they are still in the biggest, most lucrative demographic gaming has.  Plus, the game is 11 years old already, and there are bound to be millions of gamers who never played it but might want to give it a try just to see what the fuss is about.  Not all will buy new copies, of course, but those people exist.  It's not like the gameplay and story aren't going to be as good as the first time, so it has a lot of merits to sell by.

Including PC gamers.... who play Slingo on Pogo... and online Bridge... etc.
