As a basic exercize to demonstrate my point, take major game releases (like MGS, Halo 2 and FF) and calculate the ratio of users who bought these games upon their release; after that calculate the ratio of users who would need to buy these new games in order to match the sales from the previous versions. If I were the CEO of a major corporation I'd be fairly worried about my bottom line if I was releasing a game exclusively for either platform.


highest selling FF game released with a used base of 10 million, they really dont need more then that to sale many millions.

They did say no FF untill april 08


Well, it launched in Japan when the PS2 had a userbase between 4.75 and 6.85 million units sold in Japan and Final Fantasy sold about 2.5 Million units (the next 600,000 units came over time); this would mean that (roughly) 50% of users bought the game ...

In every region Final Fantasy X was released in the PS2 had a larger userbase than the PS3 will likely have worldwide in 2007.
