| jarrod said: I'm not sure if the CC is more practical to be honest. To use Capcom as an example, they've only released 8 Wii games that even use it. Meanwhile, they released 14 online PS2 games... MoHun's franchise potential definitely pushed Tri beyond what the same sort of game could've managed with a different brand. Still, it sold a million, and to compare that to your FFXI example, that game only sold ~200k. Even MHG on PS2/Wii outsold FFXI. Again, staggering sales for a subscription based game.

Lets not forget the many games Capcom has on Virtual Console. All SNES and N64 games inparticular require a Wii CC or GC controller.
Square said FFXI sales were hurt by having to purchase a BBA and HDD for the PS2. With that said many people probably purchased the PC version. According to Wikipedia, "Square Enix had announced that more than 500,000 users, using more than one million characters, were playing the game as of January 2004." Bear in mind FFXI was released in 2002. The market was very different back then. That was before WoW made the world MMORPG fans.
Edit: Also FFXI wasn't an offline game. Had it been it would have sold millions.
