The majority of people who bought FFX and FFXII have or will have a PS3 by the time it releases, it doesn't make sense to talk about attach rates for previous FF games when the install base is so large, i.e 120,000,000 units. |
Ummmmm, you sure about that. While the PS3 is doing better now, that is also becuase we are in the minddle of the holiday season. It took Sony forever to get here so chances are that the install base might not be that high when FF13 roles around. Maybe 12? Sales will probably move slowly after the holiday season as most of the potential buys will snag them up.
And even then, to beat Halo 3's first week sales, they still need a good attach rate. ~3million need to be sold in the first week, so it's attach rate needs to be ~3million, and so far no game has done it on the PS3. Not to mention with the Japanese market in this crazy shift it probably wont meet this goal.
But most of the people who bout 10 and 12 probably wont buy a PS3.
