To summarize.

There will either be lots of people talking about PS3 domination.

Or there will be a handful of people trying to say "its still pretty good" and then laughing maniacally from behind their PC screens. And a larger group of people saying "its still pretty good" and then crying and sobbing being their PC screens.

Then there will be those that say "Hahaha it ONLY sold 1 million copies. Flop!"


That can easily be justified though.  If it does 1 million first day it will probably end up being the lowest selling Final Fantasy since 1991. 

well, FF X sold 1.9 on an install base of 5.2 million. A 37% attach rate.

Which means for the same attach rate FF 13 would have to sell 1.517 million first week to be on par with FF X, the second best selling FF.

do you think square really cares about attach rate?  Honestly?  This is the most expensive FF ever, it's not getting cheaper.  I'm not saying it's a failure if it sells less than the previous ones, but it isn't going to be as profitable. 

 

Do you really think Square Enix doesn't know that this is the first Final Fantasy ever to be released on a second or third place console?  You think they're just blindly expecting the exact same results as past games with no reference to market share and user base?

 

Does this thread have to devolve into guerilla warfare over how far we can move the goalposts before the numbers get posted?  Because you're not convincing anyone who doesn't already agree with you.
