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. |
And how is it not the similar for FF ? It will be the biggest RPG yet to hit the PS3 and thats for damn sure, people will buy justbecasue its the big rpg form Square. ROFL um it DOES matter if its good or bad, early adopters are the hardcore know everything about a game types they wont buy crap. Which explains why the best sellers for PS3 are Resistance and Motorstorm and not COD3 and Ridge Racer. |
Ok, idiot, I hate to resort to name calling, but when a system is released there is a small number of games available. When someone buys a system for something other than resell, they want a game. When there are, what, five games to choose from they're going to choose at least one of them. It doesn't matter if the game is good or bad, what the buyer does or doesn't know, they're going to get a game. I'm sure you pleasure yourself to your PS3 every night but most people really do enjoy having consoles for playing games.
As for FFXIII, yeah, people will buy it, I don't think I ever disagreed with that, what I disagreed with was an insane 50% attach rate. It's just not going to happen.
