I think the Final Fantasy characters will only give visibility, but the Smash genre has already proven itself in Japan. If and when they'll see FF characters, the title will get visibility, then by word of mouth I am certain it will spread. It's basically Smash but with its own twist. It should sell well, the Japanese seemed to like it if 3M is any indicator . And the holidays always help, worldwide.

Hey, you may be right. Because what do I know?

After LittleBigPlanet could piggyback on the success of previous 2D platformers in Japan, your expectations aren't that unrealistic.

Or they could add some of the Love+ characters and bring in a horde of Japanese Otaku to the game.

Besides FF what other characters can help this game in Japan? I would say MG, RE, Kingdom hearts, Monster hunter, Yakuza but all of these are third party.

I just checked. Just two games have sold 1mill in Japan. (RE5 & FFXIII)

Well, who's counting out the Capcom characters already? Sony got Mega Man and Pac Man exclusively in SFxT....

Mortal Kombat got Kratos exclusively for the PS3 maybe Sony gets Batman in return, and that would blast the sales skyhigh but its very unlikely .

We seem to go through this with every PS3 release. Be it Little Big Planet, Killzone 3, Mod Nation Racers, etc. These lofty expectations are set by Sony fans. Will be fun to see how this turns out. Bookmarking this page.

At this point we're so late in the generation there isn't anything fun to talk about except placing widly crazy sales ideas onto the forums :P

And I'd like to point out, that LBP is nearing 5 million sales which is great, KIllzone 3 is over 2 million, pretty good, but could do better considering the first one did an extra 500K, Modnation Racers did alright :P
