Final Fantasy XIV Failure Inevitable?

I'm not sure what your source is, but it's missing the NA, EU, and PC sales.

Also, I don't think it will be a failure, it will probably do just about as well as FFXI which is good since the game was a success.

I also think it will do the same thing FFXI did and eventually come to the PC and possible 360.

My source was a tad outdated, I found  newer one that includes all territories and all consoles as well as PC alike.

As of 2008, in an announcement for three additional expansions in development, SE noted Final Fantasy XI still has a strong user base of around 500,000 subscribers. ^[5] As of April 22nd, 2009 there are 2,000,000 active characters. Four expansions for the game have been released, capitalizing on the game's success.

My original thought was that FFXIV will only be PS3 exclusive. If its coming to PC then it does have an oportunity to reach better market, however has it been confirm that is coming to PC also? What will be the requirement since I'm assuming SE is going to use higher graphics which could require higher end PCs. Let's not forget that what made WoW such a huge success was the fact that they made the game PC friendly. They have somewhere around 5 to 10 million subscribers (?!?) and if FFXIV does not become easily accessible this could also lead to a way smaller userbase.
