Yes it is a 'flop' when compared to its portable cousins. |
It's also a subscription based online RPG. It's outsold every subscription based game in Japan ever released, including (all versions combined of) FFXI and PSO.
|
actually PC version sells quite well
|
The best selling PC game ever in japan was Ys VI, which sold ~500k. Or half what MH3 on Wii sold.
btw, since Ys VII sold only 100k, I guess it's an even bigger flop.
|
this is much different the PSO and FF11. 1st you CANNOT play those games offline so you needed a online service to play them... which is NOT the case with monster hunter. you can play the game offline just you need to play to play online if im not mistaken. So everyone can buy it which kills your arguement.
2nd if you want to talk about flops on consoles didnt ff13 on half the userbase in japan sell better then any Wii 3rd party game? Using your Ys logic that would mean every 3rd party game was a fail and thats clearly not the case as lots of games sold well... (just not halo, COD well)
|
Uh, have you ever played PSO/PSU? You know MoHun's basically a PSO clone (ie: Diablo clone) right? And that you can play PSO/PSU offline for free (PSO1&2 even multiplayer offline)?
And my "Ys logic" was comparing sequential same series releases. FFXIII compared to other mainline entires... well... maybe it could've matched the PS2 entires had it been a Wii game. ;)
|
yup actually you are right you can compare PSO and monster hunter but NOT ff11 as you need a oline service so that still counts
Also FF12 is 2.41 mil n japan and im pretty sure ff13 will match those sells and even if it falls short its still VERY close for a system with half the userbase. it will get a best versoin and its still selling 50k (almost) a week. point is you have no proof ff13 would match anything as the highest selling 3rd party game in japan is on ps3 NOT Wii. this gen.
