| darthdevidem01 said: I have been looking at this issue since I came here and everytime people put down FF13, MGS4 (HA they were proven wrong) & GT 5 as the "lowest" sellers in the franchise. I don't understand as their argument is usually PS2 had a 120 million userbase.....thats all fine but PS2 DIDN'T have a 120 Million userbase when GT3, FF10 & MGS2 released.....they still sold millions In fact: GT 3 released when PS2's userbase was at 11 million (definetely possible for GT5) http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS2®1=All&cons2=PS2®2=All&cons3=PS2®3=All&start=37101&end=37430&weekly=1 n it went on to sell 15 million. FFX (had a staggered launch) but when it PS2's userbase was at: 5 Million in Japan (granted Ps3 won't be there for FF13) 7 Million in NA (definetely possible for FF13) 8 Million in others (Definetely possible for FF13) Whenn MGS2 releases the userbase size in each region was a bit lower than that of the FF10 release so PS3 is really losing out on sales from Japan...thats it, otherwise these key franchises should sell just as much, and the argument that PS2 had a userbase of 120 million bites the dust as when these launched it most certainly didn't. What do all of you think....is it valid topull the franchise down due to saying "PS2 had a 120 million install base" when majority of the sales are done at launch.??

dude, the PS2 went from 11 mill to 120 mill and sold 15 mill GTA3s, GTA5 might do so too, but only if the PS3 reaches +100 mill, so that userbase is an argument for the total numbers, but can't be used for many specific releases. If the PS3 will stop around 50 mill, you won't see GTA5 selling 15 mill.
