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.

But if they are going to do a remake FF7 wouldn't be released for a year or two after FF13. Probably not until FF13V releases sicne they've stated they'd want to have the entire original team on the project and no talk of a remake could happen until after 13.

If a FF7 remake happens, it's not going to be until towards the end of this generation.... (Or middle of PS3s generation if you beleive sony really won't release a new console for 10 years.)
