| ProdigyBam said: Every time everyone is like Uncharted isnt such a huge franchise, but then they say FF is. Truth is, as of today, Uncharted 2 outsold FF13 by more than half a million units (PS3), Uncharted 3 is looking to do even more than that, in fact, Sony shipped 3,8 Million units day one thats less than a million than FF13 currently stands at and Uncharted 3 is already sold out in many places (for example in many stores in UK). |
Maybe Final Fantasy isn't the best thing to strive for anymore. Ever since the PS2's life, the series has gone downhill a bit, both in terms of critical sucess and sales. Uncharted 3 may have sold FF13 on the PS3, but so have a bunch of other games. Donkey Kong Country Returns outsold both games, but it was no system seller for the Wii.
My point is, FF and Uncharted are both big franchises, but are not the God Tier that Pokemon, Mario, and Halo are. And I believe, possibly incorrectly, that leading consoles need at least one God Tier franchise to top a market.
That said, Uncharted will probably do well, and seems to deserve it.
