well I disagree completely

FF12 was released in the month Ps3 was released....also remember FF9 and its low sales....well it had the same problem as FF12 (released when the next generation playstation was out)

so that reason is void imo.

MGS4 has proven that PS3 games can sell almost as well as previous iterations

also you have to see it will be the only important JRPG on PS3..so all fans will flock to it.

My predictiions are simple:

Japan - 2.5 million

Others - 3 million

NA - 3 million

Of course, that is why I compared it mostly to X.  Also MGS4 was possible, do you really believe that FFXIII will have such large attach rates? 25% vs 90/100% That is one of the reasons why I don't believe square enix will release it this year. The ps3 needs a much larger install base in japan, or they will have to make it even more popular in the west, with the cost of japanese sales. Also I highly doubt others will sell 3mln. X only sold 2 mln, and VII only sold 2.7 mln.

 

We know FF13 isn't coming till 09....so PS3's userbase will be lets say 22 - 25 million when it comes out
