| Bruno Muñoz B said: Final Fantasy XIII wouldn't have sold any better on PS2. The downward trend for this series started almost a decade ago with a huge decline on the mighty PS2. PSX Final Fantasy VII --- 3.277.766 Final Fantasy VIII --- 3.501.588 Final Fantasy IX --- 2.707.301 PS2 Final Fantasy X --- 2.325.215 Final Fantasy X-2 --- 1.960.937 Final Fantasy XII --- 2.322.541 |
I disagree. It probably would have sold more, if only because it was on a system Japan was obsessed with. The fact that it was on PS3 really affected its sales. And eventhough people want to claim the very same thing that Ken Kutaragi said years ago and that 'If you want a PS3, you'll save up for one', it probably kept many people from buying the game because they couldn't afford it or didn't want to. Why should someone in Japan buy a PS3 and one game when they could buy 10 other DS games for the same price?
In the end, it'll go down as probably the best selling Japanese PS3 game. But it probably could have done twice as good on the PS2 or DS. Or even better.
