lol back to the future.

anyways, Heavy rain and GoW aren't even RPG's... so wtf?

And to be honest, im getting quite irritated from everyones saying these kinds of things, its as if once FFXIII comes around ALL SALES R BELONG TO FFXIII, its not the only game releasing then and there, ffs.

Yeah! Only Call of Duty can do something like that!

No they didn't; all three games appeal to different types of people. For instance, out of the three GOW III interests me the most and is the only one I would potentially buy.

I agree with the original poster as I want all three games, but will definantly opt for ff13 first. And it would be very tempting to buy the other two used later by the time I can afford them. And no I don't think these games attract different kinds of people, ALWAYS at least.

On a site like this based purely on gamers of course there's going to be people who want all three games. But the average person doesn't keep track of all these games like most on this site do.

You don't think there are people who like just God of War and not Final Fantasy and vice-versa? You think everyone who likes God of War likes Final Fantasy? That's ridiculous.

I would say it's rare for one person outside gaming communities such as this one to want all three, let alone two of these games.

The games will do just fine, they appeal to different people. Final Fantasy XIII isn't so big, that they gotta delay other game releases. Now if it was Call of Duty, then you should be worried.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

3 very different games, so I don't think so.

PS3 vs 360 sales

WELL my opinion is definantly based on a scientifically done reseaerch, but I do believe most people that know the games are coming out probably have many different tastes in games.

But I do admidt that people who hear about the games on TV for the first time or who walk into a store not knowing what to buy and pick out something that looks cool will only buy one. (Who knows what amount of gamers do this?)

So it is certainly not everyone, but I would assume there is alot.

I just realised that SO4 is sulphate.

I'm going to call Star Ocean 4 "sulphate" from now on.

Heavy Rain won't sell great anyway, and GOW III is big enough and different enough to do fine



yo_john117 on 06 February 2010

No I would argue that GOW3 is at least as popular as FF13, so they didn't mess up anything.

Why the hell are you talking past tense with so much certainty? If you really travelled a few months into the future, couldn't you have done something more productive than checking Vgchartz to see if these games failed?

Haven't you seen sharky's car?

HAHAHAH!!!!
