PS3.

1) PlayStation has been the home of Final Fantasy for what, 13 years now?

2) By the time FF13 is released in the West, the PS3 will have a larger install base than the 360 in Europe. It's worth noting that GTA4 on PS3 outsold the 360 version in Others despite having a smaller install base. Because it's a PS series.

3) The 360 version will probably sell better in NA, but not by very much. The 360 will still be leading in America when FF13 is released in the West, but it shouldn't be by more than 4-5 million. JRPGs so far haven't sold well at all in NA, but then none of them have been Final Fantasy.

1) So have many franchises that moved to 360 and sold better

2) You don't know that, the 360 is still consistantly outselling the ps3 in europe.  Also Europe is less important than NA when talking about JRPGs.

3) uh, the difference in NA is over 8 million right now, I don't see any reason to believe it's going to shrink to 4-5 million.  It seems to me like it's going to increase 1-2 million if anything.

 

1) Name 3.

2) It will sell only slightly less in Europe than in NA. The 360 is outselling the PS3 in Europe because of their prices. Do you think the PS3 will be $400 in 2010? I think it's pretty much certain that Europe will go to the PS3.

3) Final Fantasy XIII is not releasing in the West any time soon. Mid 2010 at the earliest. By that time, there will have been another holiday season, a price cut and Gran Turismo 5.
