So you believe Square will put XIII on the PS3, get the FF fans over there, but then release FFVII on the Wii?...... no......

Will it get the FF fans over though?

All of em or just the REALLY hardcore ones. Most fans likely already have a Wii as it is. That's definitly the case in Japan in anycase.

Final Fantasy has never been on a "losing" console before so it should be interesting.  Final Fantasy games have always been the types of games the "non-rpg" crowd would buy as their couple RPGs for the generation... it will be interesting to see if that same crowd is on the PS3 or not... if not I don't see them buying a PS3 for a genre they don't like.  Could be the difference between 5 and 10 million.

 

FFXIII/FFVXIII will probably get the the hardcore guys over to the ps3, but FFXIII/FFVXIII + FFVII should be able to pull over a lot more who were on the fence previously and couldn't justify the purchase.  Putting FFVII on the ps3 would increase the sales of both FFXIIIs.  It would strengthen the base on the system to which each game could sell.

FFVII might give a boost to the sales of both XIIIs, assuming that they would all be released around the same time period. If VII were to be released shortly before XIII (unlikely) it would greatly boost sales. However, Since it seems that SE is putting a lot of effort into XIII, VII wouldn't be released until a while later.

Actually, i believe that they should just put it on PSN and Add a bunch of extras (new dungeons, side quests, etc) and slightly update the Graphics. While it won't sell systems, it should still be able to sell quite a bit.
