you're make assumptions. And extrapolate only the data that fits your argument. As do I at times. But there are more factors than FFX, and FFVII were the first final fantasys on PS consoles. Those consoles had the market share as well. The only market where you could have an argument of it flopping is Japan, because they normaly get around 3 million sales and this one got 2. Thus, The likely longterm sales of FFXIII is likely 5.5-6, but if Japan Would have had a bigger install base it would have done 6.5-7.
So The only argument, that can come close to being a flop is that it flopped in japan
Square Said they expected to sell 6+ million thats the ballpark its gonna do. He wanted it to be another FFVII but that's not realistic. Nintendo took 15 years to make a console the success of the snes.
how can you say GT5 will sell 10 million. It isn't even out yet. FFXIII isn't done selling either.
If FFXIII sold 2 million. As darth said its an 80percent decrease Yes it would be a flop, because it wouldnt make up for productions costs and thus that = failure = definition but it didn't its going to sell 5+ in line with other final fantasy's.
All I've argued is that you are calling things what they aren't. You are using incorrect words and expect me to read your mind. If that's what you expect me to do then fine. But when you are trying to have an argument that's rational use the correct terms. Bad sales is closer to the correct term you're trying to imply, good job you're learning.
