What? 220,000 is shocking. IMO, I'm shocked SE are bothering to bring another FFMMO to console especially when on PS brand name it sold worse in a much longer Lifetime period.


Your shocked? Final Fantasy XI has made more money and revenue for Square than ANY Final Fantasy game.

Why would you be shocked?

Yeah the PC version. 

I said I was shocked they were bothering with another console version. After 6 years on PS2 it has managed 150,000 copies sold. And 4 and a hlaf years on 360 it managed 220,000. What are SE thinking wasting time and money on another console version?

Lets look at this: 

SE want M$ to change there policy for 200,000 players over a 4 year period?

In business terms SE would be laughed out of the door. 

Going by PS players, on PS3 it looks destined to sell barely 200,000 over 6 years.


200,000 people at a 12.95 subscription = 2.59M a MONTH

31.08M a YEAR

I would hardly call that bad.

M$ make money of the initital game sale. Not the monthly subscription. 

Think about this. SE are asking M$ to break the rules they have had for 5 years. For only an average of sales of 3,333 sales a month over a 4 year period. SE are dreaming.
