I don't think those guys knew for sure FFXIII was going to sell well. WRPG's have take critics & gamers by storm this gen, FFXIII got 83 on metacritic & there was so much negativity after the Japanese launch. If ever this was when a Final Fantasy was going to fail. But that didn't happen, somehow the game overcame all that and has sold excellently.
In regard to FFXIII I'll take a quote from the game itself "The whole world was against us"....the whole world was against FFXIII at one point but it overcame the world & succeeded. Especially on Xbox 360.
I will definitely see FFXIII as a game that overcame all odds & negativity & succeeded. |
True but here's my arguement.FF has one of the biggest if not the biggest fanbase in all of gaming history.There wasen't much this game had to overcome other than the fact that it was on 2 systems.
FF 13 overcame all odds and succeeded. Especially on the 360.Yes because it out sold the......Oh wait.

The odds that were its in a market that doesn't care for JRPG's. Franchises like Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, Banjo Kazooie, Sonic had fanbases just as big, but they hit a point where the market didn't feel they were relevant & sales declined extremely rapidly. I thought this was going to happen to Final Fantasy XIII since it came to a market that hadn't cared about JRPG's.
