And yet whenever brought up the fact that FFXII only sold 5 million a few weeks ago they were hounded by Sony fans who said "Well the first FF always sells best (FF7, FF10)" Then yesterday people started bringing FFXII's sales back up. Face it, over this weekend Sony fans expected FFXIII to be a massive AAA exclusive for them and sell over 10 million. Then on Monday they realized they had to share it with the 360 and some people who already had a 360 suddenly have no reason to pick up a PS3. |
I've got nothing to face. I'm not a Sony fan, I hate RPGs, and I couldn't even have told you what number Final Fantasy was up to until yesterday. Like it or not I'm far more representative of your average game player in this blue ocean age than a rabid Microsoft or Final Fantasy fan who thinks this matters to anyone other than a few like-minded people. I started a conversation about E3 today with some friends who play games but aren't 'gamers'. They'd never heard of E3 and didn't understand what exclusive games were because they don't exist in any other form of entertainment. A game going multiplatform is not a big deal to anyone outside of the hardcore gaming community.
