Taking the cost of the port into account, surely it cannot cost anywhere as much as £40,000,000 - $60,000,000, either way you look at it, SE has MADE profit, profit = not a flop. Also taking it into account that MS has pretty much did the advertising for SE, even more profits :/

just making a profit just doesn't do it,its how much you make.

 

and compared to what they have made in the past,it was a flop.

 

I am not saying its a flop compared to normal titles but compared to FF series it is

the games are also priced at 60 instead of 50 which probably would cover the difference in dev costs

And it is still likely to outsell FFIX and FFXII with pricedrops and everything beings its unfair to compare a game thats been out 1 month and outsold 12 during the first month and probably IX

FFXIII is a black sheep like FFIX and FFXII if you want to call those flops, then fine FFXIII is a flop

i never said it wouldn't sell as much as FF9 and ff12.i fully expect it to do that but for sure it won't do FF7 and FF10 numbers.

 

Also in Japan SQ games have always cost alot more,the starting price is about $80 so they make alot of profit in japan.
