@ Kenryoku_Maxis:
FFXIII's battle system is as different from previous FF games as it can get. The game's main character is, first time in 15 years, a female. So I dont really see your point.
And it's not just FF that is in decline sales-wise, most estabilished jRPG franchises are, including Pokemon. Tales of franchise has been in decline sales-wise ever since Symphonia, it's not getting any new fans either. As for Persona - I dont think it makes much differense if it sells 450k copies instead of 400k, this series is completely niche and irrelevant, always has been.

FALSE
Pokemon as a sales franchise is on the rise this gen
Pkemon Diamond/Pearl have sold more than emerals/Ruby
|
Oh what a nice logic. Then Final Fantasy is on a rise as weel since XIII is going to outsell XII.
|
whata are you going on about
I am comparing the FIRST Pokemon Game of this gen to the FIRST of last gen
Diamond/Pearl VS Ruby/Saphire
This gen's first pokemon game has done better than last gens
so you can't say in any way that the Pokemon franchise is "IN" decline AS its broken the decline
That is logic
Pokemon declined for two generations (from game boy to game boy colour (Red/blue to gold/silver) & then again from game boy colour to game boy advance (silver/gold to ruby/saphire)
but this gen its broken the decline, so its not "in" decline

Duh, whatever. Point is - Pokemon is not nearly as popular as it was ten years ago. The whole jRPG genre has declined, it is wrong when people claim that it is only Final Fantasy franchise that has lost popularity.
