Excuses so far:
Top Down game
Sold more than PSP Version
my fav : Niche game, lol

How is top down or 2D an excuse? Most people just don't want that type of GTA. The PSP GTAs sold multimillions but this one hasn't even broken 500k on it. What if they turned the FF main series into a SRPG like Fire Emblem, completey elimnating any exploration and it's just story and battle based. Do you think it would sell as much as the more popular entries then?

It wouldn't sell as much, but it would sell about 2.5 million.

Well, as many assert, according to these figures, the DS version sold about twice as much. If we assume, as I'm sure most haters would assert, that the DS audience is mostly made up of casuals(hence, the excuse/accusation for the console), I wonder then what is the Sony excuse for the PSP sales?
A. DS port.
B. Piracy.
C. User base.
I think those things are directly the fault of the hardware, not gamers. If Rockstar would have thought this game was going to be more profitable as a PSP exclusive, they would have made it one. But, the PSP has this nasty reputation for not selling videogames well, while we're flaming a DS game that obviously wasn't aimed at the target market for the console, for only selling a million copies

The PSP port bombed Zen, there is no excuse for it, a year from now, it will be at 1 million too, Will I change my mind, no. The fact remains, if FFXIII had sold a million on PS3, what would you guys have said?

"They could of made like 10 China Town War games with the money they spent on that."
How many threads are about Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles bombing? Some, but not many... mostly because people recognize how those games aren't even remotley like the "real" final fantasy games.
