You don't think FFXIV can't sell above 200k for a console with a more online centric audience than the PS2 which also includes a harddrive?

Why is Kirby always there? To fill something?

Nope, I think it'll do about the same as FFXI absolute best case scenario.  When FFXI launched it was PS2 only (with a bundled HDD), the PC port came six months later.   FFXIV is PS3/PC day-and-date, and most MMORPG players in Japan still game on PCs.  That's where the MoHun Frontier and FFXI crowds are, and that's who FFXIV is targeting.

Not so sure about that. The harddrive wasn't a standard with the PS2 back then (The PStwo that did came two years later didn't even have the option), and appearently they are aiming at a more mainstream audience with FFXIV, or atleast that's what they say in interviews.

I won't sell great by any means, but I think part of that PC audience that you are referring to could actually move to the PS3 just like the shooter fanbase has moved from the PC to the HD consoles in the west, and perhaps the more mainstream FF fan if it's end up being a more accesible game.
