It did really good for the fanbase it was on. I don't think it flopped.

bt it did. to put things in perspctve, if ff13 hd done like at least ff10 in japan its sales wud be nearing 6 million now (combiend) and it wud probably be able to outsell ff7/8 worldwide. japan let ff13 sales down and with tht the franchise weakened. ff10 launched with 5 million PS2's but sold 1 million more than ff13. FF7 launched with 4.5 Million PS1's but ff7 sold 4 million. the userbase excuse wnt work with me.

very few games are capable of selling 3 million... especially 4 million... in one country!

Are you forgetting about Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Mario, ETC?

Anyway, yes it flopped big. It seems like it doesn't have enough legs in Japan (500 sales every week?). I guess people have moved on from Final Fantasy because it's a lot different now than from the SNES/PS1 days.

No, a Final Fantasy 7 remake would not sell well either. If you look at the sales of Crisis Core, it's higly doubted that a remake of 7 will sell 10 million copies like the original.
