Wow I recall a lot of people predicting this selling only a little bit better than ES hell some were saying it would sell worse....Yeah I'm just going to say this. The game should have been a PS3 exclusive or Multiplat from Day 1. It would have sold much better. I also expect this to spike up into the top 10 during a week in Oct due to the ToV movie releasing that month.

Im also going to say that FFXIII will sell better on the PS3 in Europe and North America. Yeah I said it Quote Me On It Bitches!!!!

Unless the 360 version of FFXIII is vastly inferior to the PS3's, that isn't happening.

The NA is 360's region. Hell, I think the 360 may be able to take the west overall.

As for the topic, not much of a surprise. Userbase.

Userbase isn't everything. Batman on the PS3 sold better in NA, sure it had the free Joker stuff, but it still sold better.

 

There's a few reasons to purchase it on PS3 instead of 360:

1) Do you really think that it'll be a single disc?

2) Lead platform is the PS3, so it's not a stretch to assume more glitches will be present on the 360 version, as well as graphical inconsistencies.

3) Some people bought a PS3 just for FFXIII, well before the multiplatform announcement.

 

PS3/360 owners will, in all likelihood, choose the PS3 version without hesitation. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. And for those who don't have either system, I think you'd agree that more would choose to buy a PS3 to play it on rather than a 360, because of the knowledge that PS3 is the lead platform. I won't say the differential will be like night and day, to be honest I think that FFXIII will only perform better on the PS3 by a small margin, but I honestly doubt the 360 is going to get the majority of the sales just because it owns North America.

And then you have to take Genre into the mix as well. While it hasn't really been proven yet in NA but the 360 userbase has been very receptive of it's JRPG library. A lot of PS3 owners were people who said "Im Buying This For FFXIII" Among all of my 360 friends none of them mention FFXIII they are all talking about Mass Effect 2 or Conviction. While all of my PS3/Wii friends are talking about FFXIII. Even though I may be seriously wrong I think the gamers who care more about Japanese oriented games are among the Wii/PS3 userbase. And that will play a big role of who comes out on top come spring. And isnt Mass Effect releasing around the same time as XIII? 360 Fans are going to be busy with that one Fa Shizzle My Nizzle
