Why FFXIII won't sell 10 million: The Japanese gaming industry isn't as strong as it used to be. Pre-orders are more than FFXII but less than FFX. (I expect it to outsell FFXII at least). The western market is thriving with shooters and WRPGs now being a lot more popular than JRPGs. The only system that can sell JRPGs is the DS which it isn't on. The game but it is clearly not genre-defining. FF hasn't evolved at all. The graphics aren't very good. The story is the same old kids saving the world thing that we have seen in JRPGs 1000 times before. |
1. I agree......but it will be bigger in the west
2. Source for that claim? who said FFX pre-orders > FF13's
3. So? all the more reason for FF13 to be that iconic JRPG that bring the genre back to life...its a good thing JRPG's haven't done much this gen, FF13 can take advantage of that
4. Lost Oddesy sold 800K....which is A LOT for a JRPG
combined Tales Of Vesperia has sold very well in Japan
Whit Knight Chronicles (On PS3) is Level 5's best selling JRPg barring the DQ games & Rogue Galaxy (which it should surpass hopefully)
Also FF13 will once again bring the genre to life
5. FF13 has evolved......you just haven't looked for the right info, they are adding new things into it.
6. In motiont hey are amazing from the trailers we have seen, gaming journalists have praised its graphics too
8. Yes "kids" who are over all 18 except for Hope....nice word there. & saving the world.....oh yeah thats done in 90% of the games out be it JRPG, WRPG, shooter, FPS so on & so forth.
Once again research about its story more, you will find its actually not that cliched.....which I was surprised about. but beware, there are minor spoilers present, if you want the story to really surprise you, pretend I said nothing
