Looking at the sales of FF13 in the only region it is PS3 exclusive (Japan) and the game sold worse compared to previous FF games (in Japan). Definitely a failure for the FF franchise in Japan. Now combining the PS3/360 sales in the West and FF13 has been outselling previous FF games in the West...that is a success. |
someone saying what I tried to say much better :D!... Although I heard Square predicted 2 million and the attach ratio in japan is absuredrather high, still it's the lowest selling FFcore franchise in Japan since before 6 (not counting 11) so its reasonable for it to call it a dissapointment. That said, it's the highest selling ps3 game in Japan, so I think it's rough to call it a complete failure or flop, unless you think they should have released it on the wii... . Also when they started development for the 360 version. The PS3 was doing aweful. So it was a sensible decision. Hindsight is always perfect... still even with hindsite, I don't think they made the wrong decision
