I think they kind of are tbh man. the sales in Japan have never been so weak since before FF5, thats more than what 15 years ago. even if its slow, its still declining. as for Europe and the US, imo after looking at previous sales for the European region, it seems that the EU's fanbase is not reliable and irratic. for the US the sales have always been reliable and strong.
however a lot of people keep saying that the PS3 version of FF13 outsold the 360 version of Mass Effect 2. well heres the problem the 360 version of Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2, have both outsold the 360 version of FF13.
if theres a chance that success can be replicated when Mass Effect 3 launches on the PS3 and 360 similtaneously, then its possible that the US (who love ME) and the EU will choose a new faviourite console RPG. not to mention new Mass Effect games are coming out more frequently than FF, so imo there is a serious problem if Mass Effect 2 generates some good sales on the PS3.
