| CGI-Quality said: What are you people using as a gauge to popularity here? Gran Turismo sells more systems and units than Final Fantasy. How is it not bigger? I mean, even the lowest selling GT title is higher than the highest Final Fantasy. I ask again, how is GT not bigger? |
For one you claimed FF is losing steam when FF's sales are rising and as you pointed out GT has dropped in sales this is contradictory, secondly FF has stood for over 2 decades and a full decade longer then GT and is pulling 6.8m sales this makes it bigger then most series even recent ones because the's a good chance FF will out last the majority of them much like how Mario is still here, thirdly the top selling FF game is FFVII not XIII.
GT is big but not bigger then FF as a franchise, one thing that hurt Sega and later bruised Nintendo was the lack of FF on their platforms, this franchise is a game changer for momentum, if FFXV was announced as a X3 or U exclusive believe me it would cause a bang on the internet. Many sales in Japan hinge on games like FF, DQ and such.
If I was to use your logic it would be like someone saying Wiiplay is bigger then GT because it sold more then GT5.
