Don't be shocked if sales for FFXIII are lower than expected. The jrpg fanbase is dying and is becoming a small (but very vocal considering their internet presence) niche. Final Fantasy may be the exception to the rule but don't be surprised if the series has lost some popularity. I for one am not buying FFXIII at release. I'll wait until it's cheap (or heck maybe I should just skip it entirely) because my experience with jrpgs has been almost consistently dissappointing after the PS1 years. And it's about time I stop giving it so many chances. Many of us who got into the genre with FF7 are now in our twenties and can't stomach a 60+ hour time investment into something with tedious gameplay and mediocre and/or uninspired storylines that stopped being cool after we grew up. There will be plenty of people who grew up with FF7 that will buy this for FF nostaliga sake but the numbers will probably be lower than FFXII (which did 5.11m worldwide).
