 Nope I mean before, PS1 was already past 4.7 million by the time FF7 launched, N64 was past 1.7 million and was selling less than PS1 on a weekly basis, even before FF7, sorry but PS1 had already won by that point, those three games did nothing really, it is revisionist history to think those three games will make a system


Hmm, interesting, didn't know that. I am aware that N64 did well in North America, with a few first party titles selling as much as 7x more here than in Japan; I still don't know what were numbers for worldwide hardware sold. 

I still think those 3 games can move hardware since those are the biggest sellers on the Playstation outside of GTA. Ocarina was the biggest software seller on the N64, it was the best selling in the Zelda franchise, and it moved hardware midway through the N64s lifespan. 

That was 1 game. I'm talking about 3 games on the PS3. And if Sony includes GTA5 as a bundle, who knows, maybe they will sell more than expected. Who knows, maybe I'll be dead wrong and end up hitting my face on the pavement.

 


 Well we will know in a year or so ;)
