I already corrected u on this in another thread. U keep saying this all the time but ur wrong. When they wer talking to their investors they sed FF13 is expcted to ship 6 Million. Later on they told a magazine they "hope" it can sell like ff7, duh, they did tht to hype it. Their tru expctations are those they laid out in financial meeting. And that was 6 Million.

Wht is the point in correcting u in the othr thread if u jst ignore it?

So FF13 will do bettr than expcted in sales. Wit FF10 however they sed they expcted 10 million in the financial investors meeting, so tht did underperform.

First of all, the link you just provided me was to another magazine interview.  Not an investors briefing.  Second of all, stating to the press or stating to investors you want a game to sell a certain amount wasn't my main point here.  My main point was each title, they keep pumping more and more money into the advertising and funding of each game.  As if they EXPECT it to sell more.  They can say to either their investors, magazines or Jack Thompson for all it matters that they expect it to sell a certain amount, but their effort shows that they want it to perform better.

If someone sells 100 apples by putting forth $10 in advertising, and then turns around and sells only 80 apples with $50 woth of advertising, they can't say it was all 'as planned'.

Edit: nvm don't want to argue about this. Deleted what I said
