I hope you guys aren't talking about me...cuz I never once claimed that FFVII is better than VI because it sold more. It's better than VI because it's a better game.

The only reason I mention sales is because it shows that more ppl have played ffvii. This ties in directly with how popular it is.

The number of people who have played VI could easily be double its sales. It takes 2 minutes to download an SNES rom of the game.

And it takes less than half an hour to download the PSX ISOs for FF7. And I'm pretty sure that plenty of people have borrowed the game or bought it second hand as well. And it's been near the top of the PSN sales charts ever since it was released.

It's true that sales only give a very rough estimate of how many people have played a game, but they're the best we have. Once we start talking about how many people have played the game without buying a copy, all we have to go on is pure speculation.
