and just like that, Darth manages to derail the thread by bringing up FF XIII sales.

Next week there will be no need to derail as PS3 will be on top!!!!!!!! (hopefully)


What's that got to do with anything?

The mere mentioning of FF XIII itself reignites my hatred for that disappointing game. There should be some kind of gamer awareness campaign so no one else tastes the bitterness I and countless others were poisoned with.

Disappointing for you, one of the best games this gen for me and countless others.

Deal with it.

Countless? You mean zero, correct? ;)

 

I am maybe, MAYBE the only person who vaguely enjoys FF13 who I know, and even then, it wasn't good enough for a place in my Top 50...

Overall I feel as though the delays/better graphics hurt it. It was good, but without the towns, customisable party, free-roaming aspects, levelling up etc., it didn't "feel" like FF. I think that's why not many people enjoyed it...

Famitsu Readers voted FF13 the 3rd best game of all time....not just of this gen, or year......but of all time. Enough people thought it was good enough to vote it that high. The numbers already more than zero

Now think of how many people may think of it at least as one of the best games this gen.

There are countless people who believe FF13 is one of the best games of this gen that I know.

Games not many people enjoy simply don't sell as well as FF13 has, sorry but they just don't.....you would have seen major decline in sales for the franchise.....but as it stands FF13 is on its way to become the 2nd best selling title in the franchise in Europe and 3rd in America....something it should't be showing if not many people enjoy it.

Say all you want about sales don't equal quality.....but games people don't enjoy usually do sell bad.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Me threee... I dont know why VGC want to go this far to prove that the wii will get a holidays boost. December is near so we'll see what's really goin on

VGC aren't going so far to do anything. They're just reporting numbers.

What I found confusing was how the Wii was getting such huge boosts despite having nothing notable release, yet PS3 and 360 remain flat despite pretty big releases.

This was answered by people saying it's had plenty of new bundles, and NSMB Wii is still the systems biggest system seller, 1 Year later.

There's quite a number of bundles, the red Wii is apparently quite successful in reeling people in, and there's also games like Just Dance 2 and the upcoming Michael Jackson Experience And DKCR (now released but not at the time these numbers are for) and Epic Mickey. There's also games that have not sold gangbusters but I believe are system sellers more than the average game such as Goldeneye, Kirby and Udraw. It's a cumulative effect imo, the image these games give to potential buyers.



Currently Playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, Professor Layton and the Curious Village

FFXIII is easily in my top 5 this gen. I would love to say it's my favorite RPG this gen but there's OBLIVION!

People can say what they want but I loved that it had no towns. I loved the crystarium. I loved the characters, the settings, the musics, the story.

And I loved the cliché moments (that every FF had in the past anyway).

This picture taken from a IGN article shows how they are rather close-minded:

What are they expecting? They want Gears of War-like kind of relationships?

And what should I make of this?:

"then there's the gameplay, which consists of essentially moving in a straight line for the first twenty hours, repeatedly hitting X.

So ignorant.

-----------------------

OT: I'm a bit surprised at how low The Sly Collection is doing.

Good numbers for Nintendo overall. I hope Kirby and Metroid pick up a bit.

Why do people think the PS3 is undertracked in America? Others is hard to track but America should be a lot easier though could be more difficult during the Holidays...PS3 just isn't strong in America just be happy that its selling very well in Others and should be in Japan as well next week.

I might be mistaken, or maybe just missed the post...

But did anyone here even say that the PS3 was being undertracked in America?
