Its like people think that the ps3 will stay below 10 million in userbase when FF XIII is released.

Even if it's say 20 million, how many copies of FFXIII do you think will be sold? It would have to have a 25% attach rate to even make it to 5 million and that would be even worse than FFIX. As far as I know, Final Fantasy VII had the highest attach rate ever for an RPG with 9.5%.

Do you really think they'll release it as an exclusive on a system where it'll have to have an unprecedented attach rate in order to have sales that are merely disappointing. If they allow a Final Fantasy game to sell below par when they could have avoided it, Square-Enix's executives will have to face a lot of angry shareholders.

 Well I shall enlighten, and frighten, you.

 Pokemon is an RPG. Even if you count Red and Blue-Green (different names in US and Japan) as seperate games, you still have 15+ million games each. With GBO (Gameboy Original) sales at 70 million, you still have a greater attach ratio.
