Am I wrong in thinking Final Fantasy XIII sales are good?

for the quality of the game, it sold well. Translation: it sold purely on brand name.... and hence failed to expand the market.

remember the key word: QUALITY.

I shall not mention the possible cause of such lack of "quality", it is for another time, another thread.

I'm getting tired of all of you complaining about how FF13 sucked because of the 360.

Shut up.

Nowhere in that post did he say anything about the 360. But I'll take the initiative, since you seem to get worked up from out of nowhere. Based on Metacritic:

FFVII: 92

FFXVIII: 90

FFIX: 94

FFX: 92

FFXII: 92

FFXIII: ......83 (82 on the 360 version and only an 80 on GameRankings)

I'm going to say it was rated lower based on game design changes and gameplay elements that didn't ring with traditional FF fans. But from a pure bystander POV, you see that since 1997, it's the lowest rated one, and also the only multiplatform one, so...............

(oh, and I didn't include X-2 because that was simply fan service riding off the success of X, and many of the assets in X were reused in X-2)
