Mmmm I didn't do alot of research into that statement, I mainly based it off of Final Fantasy's main series downward spiral in sales :P. Kingdom Heart's 2 performed far worse then the original though(1), can't find the figures for many other games. It's hard to tell with Square-Enix as everything is either a DS / PSP remake or a 360 RPG(2) which all attain no doubt good sales with healthy profits (except some 360 RPG's) but it's like, how long can they keep it going lol. I'll do a bit more looking into Square-Enix sales and stuff as I've never really bothered to get much knowledge on it. Hmm. |
Okay, I thought you were being a fanboy. But making claims you didn't research? What the hell?
1. KH1 = 5.50 million. KH2 = 3.69 million. That's not really "much worse", especially since all genres of gaming tend to have diminishing returns in some series.
2. The thing is those portable ports, remakes, and spinoffs are selling about as well as they always have. As for the 360 games, they've sold 400k. That is actually on the high end of niche RPGs since the 16-bit years.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
