Keep final fantasy exclusive to Sony platforms. I am sure Square enix will look at the sales of the 360 version and keep versus 13 exclusive to ps3. It doesnt make sense to waste money on porting a game when it will barely sell a million on the 360. |
So they wont want $60m in revenue for a port that would cost a fraction of that?
People have gone crazy this gen... by your logic all the PS3 games that sold barely a million were abject failures and shouldnt have ever seen the light of day, even more so considering they may not be ports and therfore would have much larger spend than this simple port.
Yeah... you're right, almost $200m in revenue for the 360 versions of FFXIII and FFXIII-2 is a waste of everyones time.
Get a grip.

Seriously, out of everyone on this I taught you might have seen sense. The sales for final fantasy on the 360 are pathetic and no where close to the ps3 counterpart. Of course you are not going to admit that but instead pull imaginary numbers out of your arse. For one of the most recognised franchises all of time, square enix should be worried that they couild barely push half a million on the 360. Yeah you are all well and good picking numbers out of your arse about profit but at the end of the day the sales are well below expectations and everyone knows that.
"by your logic all the PS3 games that sold barely a million were abject failures and shouldnt have ever seen the light of day"
Again what a terrible comparrison. These franchises such as yakuza or motorstorm are not system sellers like final fantasy and are very niche. They don't have multi million dollar ad campaigns with leona lewis singing the main theme song. When there is such a huge disparity in sales between the ps3 and 360 you have to wonder is the user base really the same.

Final Fantasy isnt a system seller for the 360, its a way of grabbing a quick buck for an easy port.
You are missing the point of the port. It was purely and simply to grab some easy cash... it worked and it will continue to work.
I havent pulled figures out of my arse... the two games will EASILY generate revenue over $150m. Thats a lot of money for all involved and very likely a huge amount of profit given the work involved.
As for you last commnet... Mass effect, Fable, Skyrim and others kind of mess with that dont you think? Perhpas people just played FFXIII and thought "what a boring game... I aint falling for that again"
|
Yes final fantasy 13 was a rubbish game and because of that I will not get this one until it hits bargain bin. The hype alone for ff 13 on the 360 should have pushed alot of sales but it didn't.
We will just have to wait and see how the versus situation turns out. If it ends up on the 360 I doubt the sales will be good either.
|
Well I own a PS3 and a 360, I wont be getting Versus either way. FF is dead for me... I actually fell for it for a while playing FFXIII, but by the end I was thinking... what was that I jst wasted a few days of my life with? "Final" Fantasy? I hope so.
|
Lol yeah, I was shocked with how bad the game was. I will turn to western devs for my rpg fix at this stage.
|
....and that is where you will see the sales for system versions are much, much closer. The userbases arent so different.
|
that doesnt explain the massive difference between FF13-2s PS360 numbers, im talking US numbers
