MGS 4, FF13 , due to the fact that they are on the PS3, which has a very small base, they'll sell well, but no where near the level of their predecessors, probably half as well at best

I don't think that the ps3 will have that small of a userbase then. And will increase due to these games being system sellers. Also, due to ff13 being q1 2008, the ps3 userbase will be around 8-14 million, and if the rumour is true that a price drop for ps3 will happen in october, ps3 will be selling very well.

And in the fact that these games are system sellers, and that the fanbase will buy it regardless will help the sales. FF13 has a diehard fanbase. I don't expect them not to buy the game because it is on the ps3. It doesn't make any sense.

MGS doesn't sell in Japan and FF is not that big in Japan, its average, and people in japan are asking for FF13 to be multiplat

 yes an online poll in which 169 japanese people said this surely tells us "japan is asking for it to be multiplat"........jesus, but then, the first thing i bolded about FF not being that big in japan totally brings your credibility to a screeching halt so i guess your FUD about japanese wanting FF13 to be multiplat should be ignored

 Looks at charts, nope its not that big, Big is games that sell like 4 million+, the recent FF's have sold around 2.5 million

Dragon Quest VII: then I guess this is the only big console game ever made.

No because a lot of titles have sold more than 4 million in a single territory, both on Handhelds and home consoles.  But you are avoiding my point, FF 12 only sold 2.5 million on a base of about 22 million, the game is not going to set Japan on fire, and won't propel PS3 sales much, this will be like Monster hunter on the PSP, it'll boost PS3 sales for a couple of weeks tops, and it will probably top out around a million+ sold
