Dude, you could NOT have said a WORSE thing at the end of your post.

OT: No.

He says, after having played neither.

Nah, not really. Keep in mind, the genre is a lot older than the PS2 and has staying power out the wazoo. FF's popularity might be waning, but Pokemon is goingn strong an Dragon Quest is actually getting more popular with time.

Also, you might be able to draw some kind of link between FF sales performance and the fact that it is the first Final Fantasy not on a first-place console.  So even believing that FF is waning based on Japanese XIII sales seems a bit myopic.
