Exactly. Each post-FF7 game has sold less than the one before it, with the exception of FFX. Although FFXII did about 5 million on the PS2, it's important to keep in mind that the FF fanbase has been split this generation: some stayed with the PS3, some jumped to the 360, and a few jumped to the Wii (which isn't currently known to be getting FFXIII at all, but that will have its own effect on sales). Even if we assume a similar blip as happened with FFX, where the first game of the gen sells about 1.5x as much as the game before it, that comes out to about 7.5 million split between the PS3 and 360. Assuming a roughly even split worldwide, that doesn't crack the 4-million mark on either console.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
