Phew. That was close.

But seriously... how many would this sell on the 360? 


Id say around 200K

I'm pretty sure every MMO on the 360 sold much better than that. Granted there are few and I don't think VGChartz numbers are accurate on some of those titles.

I think 500K is more realistic, perhaps higher if its actually good. Even Defiance is inching its way to that number.

Eitherway I don't understand why Square needs this game to work with other platforms. They could let the 360 and perhaps the X1 have its own community. MS's rules doesn't have to stop this game from being on Xbox.

That would be cool if Microsoft allowed that, imagine PS4 players playing online with XBO players on next gen games.

I think looking at FF11 would be a better number, but I can't see many FF fans picking 360 version over PS3 and PS4.

Yeah not surprising, since NOTHING changed since the interview in 2010.

If the players of every other version can share the same gaming world, XB ones knowing it could feel in comparison like confined in a ghetto. And even excluding this very subjective sensation, that could affect just a minority, users of others platforms, joined in a big community, would enjoy a world living in a more intense way, not to mention that even in the last phases of the game's life, with the communities dwindling, the most crowded common world would keep on looking populated and alive longer than the separated one, that would also cease being economically sustainable sooner.

The VGChartz numbers for FF11 aren't accurate.

3 Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Collection X360 2009 Role-Playing Square Enix 0.24 0.00 0.00 0.02 0.26
4 Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess X360 2007 Role-Playing Square Enix 0.20 0.00 0.02 0.02 0.24
5 Final Fantasy XI: Online X360 2006 Role-Playing Square Enix 0.17 0.00 0.00 0.01 0.19
6 Final Fantasy XI: Vana'diel Collection 2008 X360 2007 Role-Playing Square Enix 0.13 0.00 0.01 0.01 0.15

Where are the European numbers?
Where are Japan numbers for FFXI: Online and Ultimate Collection?
How did Wings of the Goddess (an expansion) sell more units than the core game?

 

People who own a 360 but not a PS3/4, would obviously opt for the 360 version. Try using some simple logic.

Really? Seems an odd thing to do, celebrate a game not coming to your system of choice. 

You would be surprised how many of us feel this way...I want final fantasy on Xbox...Just not that online mess
