Maybe for DQ and CT...
But FF7? You expect a remake to sell over 10 million copies? Even FF XIII won't sell that much. |
Woa, big words. For either production. Good luck with that one Soriku.
|
What? You think FF XIII will sell 10 million?
|
I'm with Soriku on this one, I love Final Fantasy but thinking that it would sell over 10 million just seems delusional, no single Final Fantasy has made the 10 million sale mark.

Honestly, who knows. Maybe the next one will be alienating to the Japanese market. Or maybe next one be herald as the WoW killer. Only thing we know is they are putting big money and time into this one and span the universe over several games. They are almost putting the franchise on the line with one i suppose with it being exclusive to the PS3 (so far). It just seems to me that 8, 9, 10 million people WW could possible pick this game up. We know at least half of that will pick it up because it has FF in the title. 12 proved that.
As for a remake of FF7, nostalga has been running rampant on current gen consoles. To many, 9.75 of them, all went out and bought the PS1 game. That was over 11 years ago. They are still throwing out FF7 branded stuff. After 11 years.
But again honestly, who knows. Just saying it was a very strong statement.

Just because hating on SE and FF12 is the popular thing to do on the internet doesn't mean that it is true.
And it is possible that FF13 could sell 10 million units. Is it probable? not really, but it will sell a good amount. It is like some people think that 5+ million copies sold is bad or something just because Halo and GTA sell so much, which is what most FFs do.

The bestselling FF is VII and that sold nearly 10 million copies. FFXIII can sell 10 million. It depends on the userbase's size when it comes out. Then again, it will probably have some impact on the PS3's sales.

No it can't. FF VII sold well because:
1. The PS1 was already popular and was #1 during that gen from the beginning. Even before FF VII. I love how people say "FF VII made the PS1 popular" when that isn't the case at all -- the PS1 was already very popular and all FF VII did was make it MORE popular. The PS3 isn't nearly as popular as the PS1.
2. FF VII was marketed EXCESSIVELY. It was on gaming magazines, non gaming magazines, soda, posters, etc. I really doubt FF XIII is going to get as much marketing as FF VII.
3. FF was really popular then. FF isn't as popular NOW because there are more RPGs that are worth buying than FF. During the PS1 era, FF was "THE" RPG. Right now? Not so much. FF is still popular but not as popular as it was before.
The PS3 isn't going to meet those conditions and neither is FF XIII. FF XIII will sell well but it's not going to hit 10 million. I'll make a bet with ANYONE that FF XIII lifetime sales won't be 10 million. If you're predicting 10 million...you're just delusional.

It is still the most popular JRPG series ever made. I didn't say FFXIII would sell 10 million copies, I said it could. Star Ocean 3, the best selling game in the Star Ocean series for example sold 1.3 million copies WW while FFVII sold close to 10 million copies WW and even FFXII, the most recent main game in the FF series, sold over 5 million copies WW.
