Final Fantasy sales have generally been front loaded, so I doubt that price cuts will be enough to really spur sales and keep the legs going.
For those that haven't played FFXIII and missed the hype, the real question is whether the game is a worthy buy or just a good rent, not how much does this game retail for? If you know what the general consensus is, you will know whether FFXIII sales can gain another 2 mil sales in its life time and surpass FFX sales.

Final Fantasy's games loses its big legs. fast.but remain on the shelves like halo, and mario do. with smaller legs
|
no it doesn't
in japan it is dead after the first 5 weeks and almost completely in 10
in other regions,15-20 weeks and complete most of its sales in first 6 months

you don't pay attention to my previous posts at all. It has small legs because it stays on the shelf maybe selling a couple thousand a thousand a week. how come you could go to best buy 4 years afer FFX came out and buy it and greatest hits is available. How come Final Fantasy X international came out later and sold more.
I already predicted it wouldn't sell 7 million. Show me how much each game sells after the first six months. including international. Yes it won't ge t to 8, but it could very well get to 7 and possibly not
|
but small legs that you said were compared to halo which has small legs.mario nowhere has small legs,FF legs are tiny
it almost stops selling in japan
sure you could get a game after a long time after its release but do you think if 10 people went in to buy the game,would they all get them.most probably,so much time after release they would only keep less copies of the game.
yeah i think it might just get to 7 or just below it
and FF12 covered 5m of its 5.7m in the first 20 weeks

i wasn't saying it was exactly the same. I guess I include to many things to connect to understand what I'm saying.
But if do the calculation. After 20 weeks it did about 86% of the sales.
So for the same calculation with 13 you get 6.498 which seems about right. for my guess.
|
what calculation and what 6.498?
|
6.498 million
In millions FFXII
you get .7 (amount extra sold after 20 weeks) /5.0 (amount sold before 20 weeks) = .14 or 14% of the product is sold after 20 weeks
so apply that to FFXIII.
you get 5.7(Amount sold before 20 weeks, though it sold a lil less I think) * .14 or 14% = .788 million in predicted sales after 20 weeks
original 5.7 .788 gets 6.488 million total.
That's kinda confusing to explain while typing and probably read. and theres other ways to get approximations. And other factors you could include.
But that's how I arrived to my quickie approximation

I GOT IT.JUST THAT UR PREVIOUS POST WAS VAGUE SO I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
