| Qays said: Most likely the PS3s smaller userbase and the handheld dominance is affecting sales for the game more than people realize. Or the fact that the game just isn't very good is affecting sales. This is the worst-reviewed FF in modern memory for a reason. |
A games 'quality' doesn't always affect its sales overall. Especially a major game that is this hyped and frontloaded. 'Quality' is opinion based, but time and time again as we've seen, a game can sell well simply based on tons of advertising. And people see that advertising for weeks (and in the case of FFXII, years) before actually playing the game. And the VAST majority of the games sales for both Japan and America came in the first couple weeks, which couldn't allow people to be affected by negative hype.
And all those people who bought the game and returned it still count as a sale.
