PS3 4.4mill
Resistance - 1.63

ohh looki 36% attach rate.

360 10.82
Gears 4.53

ohh noes 41.8% attach rate.

FF7 hit on around a 10 mill user base, its ridiculous that it sold 9.7 million.

Attach rates only really work after the console's life is effectively over.

Otherwise, the day after the PS3 launch, you could scream how RFOM had an 85% attach rate. Now it's at 36%. By the end of life, it will almost assuredly be at 10% or less. Even Gears, which has sold in much greater numbers than RFOM, will probably end up just over or under 10% attached, maybe close to 15% if it's lucky.

Edit: Ah, I see you were talking about FF selling 5m. Forget this post.

What does final PS2 number mean to lets say GT3 attach rate if by 04 GT4 came out and GT3 was no longer sold ?

My point is small user base = high attach rate, on 10 million PS3 user abse FF will come close to 50% since the 10 mill are very hardcore gamers.

10% on 100 mill or 50% on 10 mill = the same sales.

If resistance can do +35% attach rate you really thing Final Fantasy will have a hard time doing much better ?

 

 

 A lot of people bought Resistance because there was nothing else.  This isn't a jab at Resistance or the PS3 in any way at all, I'm just saying that's the advantage of getting to do a launch title.  It doesn't matter if your game is good or bad, if there's only a small amount of titles available (launch) then of course it's going to sell well.
