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


i am looking at the charts http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?sort=japan

as of me typing this of the top 13 console games released from the PS and beyond 6 of them are final fantasy and 3 of them are Gran Turismo games 2 are dragon quest, 1 is derby stallions and the other is everybody golf.

 

This means in japan, of the 13 top selling console games past PS era (includes n64, xbox, gamecube, wii, 360, ps2, ps3) 6 are FF and 3 are Gran Turismo meaning 9 are PS3 exlusive as a franchise

 

and since youre captain dictionary and "big" means over 4 million only mario, pokemon, animal crossing, brain training and tetris are big in japan...thats it, huh? interesting

 

funny how you term "big" to mean 4 million yet a couple hundered goobers from japan voting in an online poll tell us "japan wants FF to be multiplat", what terrible logic and a terrible post

 

EDIT: there were a couple n64 games i accidentally skipped, but the majority of this post is still intact
