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. 

Oh. Good thing im not on the SEfinancialReportsForStockholdersChartz.com forum.

Attach rates is a cheap copout.  The attach rate thing has been shot down a million times by many franchises that sell just as well on PS3 as on previous systems.  Not only that but FF has already proven it can sell on small userbases, and sell just as well as the previous FF games on large userbases.  What evidence do you have that small userbases actually effect the sales of FF?  That would be the better question.
