Sales - Japans PS3 Nightmare - View Post

I have to agree that there is little to no chance of FFXIII selling 5 million on the PS3. When FFXIII comes out, if we are generous, the PS3 will have 10 million consoles on the market. Do you really think half of everyone who owns a PS3 is going to buy FFXIII? 1/3? 1/4? I would be surprised and impressed if 1/8th of the people who owned PS3s bought it. RPG games are a niche genre. Don't expect much chance of this game selling well as a PS3 exclusive. I'm saying there are only 3 things that can happen here. Any of them could happen. 1.) Ports to 360. 2.) Goes to PS3 as an exclusive, but poor sales drive SE out of Sony's camp permanently. This may happen along with: 3.) Sony offers benefits (such as paying for the game's advertisement, not that you would want Sony to advertise your game with how bad their's are) to keep it an exclusive.
