XIII sold more then XII did. I also believe that it sold more then IX as well. X and VII sold a shit ton. Even then 5M+ copies is really good sales. The game made them profit out the ass when it was released. Then again I still don't understand why you state that fans are in denial because they like the games.

besides, how many people actully like these games? have you checked Amazon Japan. out of 1000 fan reviews, the general consensus is that FF12 is a 3 star (average) game. on Amazon US, or UK FF12 fairs a bit better. but look at FF13, out of 2000 fan reviews on Amazon JP, it stands at 3 stars (average). compared to fan reviews of FF4-10, FF12 and FF13 are generally less well recieved. we can also see this in terms of critical reviews. the point is some fans are saying they like these games. yet i'm saying (in relation to the article) that based on sales and general fan consensus FF is declining; would i say their killing it, no. but its certainly going that way. and i think the sales of FF13-2 will demonstrate that.

You can't use a site like Amazon to judge popularity of a series. Black Ops has over 2k Amazon reviews with the same score as XIII yet the game sold what like 20M copies?

The only way you can really judge the popularity is via the sales.
