Qays on 17 April 2010
Quality doesn't always affect sales, but sometimes it does. I think this is one of the cases where it has. I've talked to a lot of people who have played and enjoyed FFs in the past but who have no intention of buying XIII. They all say the same thing: I hear it's not very good, I hear they took out towns, I saw a stupid commercial with some chick singing.
XIII has a really bad reputation. It's partly reviews, partly the fact that the game has alienated a lot of more tuned-in fans who then badmouth it to their friends. Whatever it is, it's a major problem for Squenix, and they're going to need to make sure it doesn't happen again.
