| swyggi said: CC:FFVII was a huge sales disappointment. Why would 770,000 units sold be a disappointment? Look MHF2 is a good example on your part for Japan. But you forget that the other FF's were on the DS, which is all the rave in Japan. I'm not arguing the PSP vs. the DS FF's in Japan (they're remakes but then again they're still on the DS), I'm arguing that CC:FFVII will sell very good world wide. The best way SE can sell even more is by advertising their product, they haven't advertised many of their games lately. There is however a US trailer on youtube that looks like a commercial for the game. http://youtube.com/watch?v=iQoLYigS_6g |
I said it was a disappointment. I didn't say it was a failure. 770,000 units is absolutely a disappointment for a game that was hyped to be the best selling PSP game and a system seller. It's a disappointment because it's underperforming. It's selling under what should have been expected of it. Again, how do you think Square feels when they spent 2 years making CC:FFVII only to have it's sales doubled by Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd which was developed in a year. I mean, imagine the amount of development money Square put into that game. Do you honestly believe they are happy with the return they have had on their investment so far?
It will be a successful game, but that doesn't mean it won't be a disappointment. Games can be successes and disappointing at the same time. Look at Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii. It's sold over 1 million copies, but didn't most people expect much more out of it? Of course they did. Just as people expected much more out of CC:FFVII.
