Having finished both games, its difficult to compare them against each other. in reality we should be comparing FF13 to FF7 or FF10 sales. and i think there are good reasons which people have stated which explains why it wasnt as successful as those titles.
i think FF13-2's sales will determine whether FF13 has been a success, but sales dont tell us everything. i mean based on information from Bioware about 50% of ME2 users completed the game. however we dont know how many people completed FF13, i know a few people who didnt bother completing it. so what if out of 6 mil people only 2 or 3 mil finished it, or if only 3 mil got past the halfway point??
either way the fact that the developers of FF13 are adding multple decision converstations to FF13-2 should speak volumes on what they thought about ME2. not to metion quick time events (God of War) and now monster hunting (Pokemon), so in relality is it possible these features were added because Sqaure felt threatened from companys like Bioware... i think the answer to that is obvious!
