2.48 Million Sales in USA, released in 2005 when the Ps2 was heavily pirated.

3.02 Million Sales in Japan, released in 2001 when the system was in it's prime, and far less piracy

And with all the above considered, FFX in Japan only sold about .50 more than God of War in America.

So why is it accepted that FFXIII will be a huge system seller in America, and yet people refuse to accept that God of War III will be a system seller in America?

 

 

Wow, I actually felt the need to sign up and comment on this fail.

Comparing Japanese sales to American sales without taking into account that THE UNITED STATES IS A MUCH BIGGER COUNTRY THAN JAPAN, AND HAS A MUCH BIGGER VIDEO GAME MARKET?

US population = 300 million

Japanese population = 120 million

Do you know what that means? It means that 1 IN 40 JAPANESE PEOPLE BOUGHT FFX, WHEREAS 1 IN 120 AMERICANS BOUGHT GOW; FFX WAS THREE TIMES AS POPULAR IN JAPAN AS GOW WAS IN THE US! Selling 3 million in Japan is equivelant to selling 8 million in the US, that is why FF is a system seller in Japan, but GOW is not a system seller (at least not a comparable one) in the US.
