| Soriku said: It looks nice though I'd appreciate it more if it had more fantasy in it like FF IX/VI/IV/etc. I think Versus will be the better game. Also, if you're predicting 10 mil SW then you're crazy. FF VII sold near 10 mil because it had HUGE hype and marketing (it was everywhere. Toys, food, non-gaming mags, etc.). FF XIII will be big on its own, but 10 mil isn't happening especially since the FF series sales has been declining... |
The reason(s) why FFXII didn't do even better was for a number of reasons:
1.The game took several months after its Japanese release which lowered it's hype slightly
2.It was released in America a week before Gears of War
3.It was released when the PS3 and the Wii were about to come out
4.The game was very controversial upon its Japanese release which kind of made some people lose hope for it
5.FFXII is great but FFX was the better game in the end
