I think you just created a scenario in hopes FF13V stays exclusive. Perhaps it will be a PS3 exclusive. But it won't be because of how FF13 does in Japan on the 360.
More importantly, FF13 has done 1.5 million on the 360. 2 million should happen eventually. That's what will motivate a port. Not Japan's performance.

i am not saying just japan's performance is contributing to it
but what Japan's performce will add to the total sales and if those sales could be attainable on a single platform
|
i think vgchartz now shows how well a game does in the first 10 weeks, and then compares that to the total that game has done in its lifetime. if you look at FF13 on the 360 it dosent seem like it can reach 2mil imo, its an RPG as well not an action game so i think that to be expected. and i dont think the japanese 360 version will be successful.

but it's an action RPG :P
I don't think it can pass 2 million either... if it follows the same sales pattern of FFXII it will end up with 6.5 million combined and its at 5.9 million so 500k/600k of estimation would have to be xbox 360.and thats not going to happen.. (though there are many different circumstances so maybe FFXIII won't follow the sales pattern of FFXII if that occurs everything I said is false)
I did these calculations just basing on % of sales first week, first month etc... I don't feel like doing them again if you don't believe me that's okay. But I did it in a thread with solid snake.

okay, fair enough, i dont really know what calculations you did, but i would have said based on the sales at the moment that FF13 will reach maybe about 6 -6.5 mil. i agree that seems an accurate estimate.
but as you said versus is an action RPG, this does change the rules slightly. can it reach a new western market?? i believe that FF13 was intended to reach the sales success of FF7, and to trigger a resurgence of JRPGs in the west. however for various reasons that couldnt happen, but is it possible that versus could succeed because its not just a JRPG.
i personlly dont think so, but thats the impression i seem to be getting from you?? oh and darth, i think there is good evidence to suggest versus is going to the 360. it seems likely that it will be announced in Jan i think...
