CrazzyMan on 20 February 2008

FFXIII.

SSBB - is NOTHING new? Or it`s a REVOLIUTION since SBM?
FFXIII - is GRAPHICAL REVOLIUTION.

I expect over 3 mln. LTD for FFXIII in Japan.

Depends solely on PS3's userbase.

With good legs, Smash will make 2 - 2.2 mil. With great, it could pass 2.5 mil.

FF XIII will sell at least 2.0 mil. It has that fanbase, but it needs at least 4-5 mil to support that fanbase.

SSBB is a big revolution from SSBM, it have online, more characters, FS, SSE, masterpieces, and a big etc.

FFXIII only graphical?

I believe SSBB will beat FFXIII overall sells, considering FFXIII will have the fans it needs at launch and then sells figures will gradually decrease after. Where as SSBB has a lifetime and long-standing appeal to the mainstream.

 Smash will make 4 million EASY.  FFXIII will sell 2.0 million in Japan alone.  You are lowballing both of those sets of numbers.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

It's really too bad Nintendo didn't improve Brawls graphics compared to Melee's graphics, then it too could be a "graphical revolution." <rolls eyes>

And akuma587, I don't think Brawl will reach 4 million easily in Japan. The problem (like I stated before) is that we can't say where it top off at, because the previous versions did not have a userbase to support much higher sales then they had. And nobody say that if someone wanted to play the game they would just have bought the console. That's not how it works. Many of the 20 million PS2 owners in Japan probably didn't think about buying the GC even for 5 or 6 good games, simply because there were more than enough good games on the PS2.

SSB sold nearly 2 million on the N64 which had like 5.5 million units there. Though I think the Wii will be close to double that userbase within the next year, that doesn't mean that the number of the game sold will double. I tihnk it'll easily sell 2 million, and probably make it close to 2.5 million sooner or later, but getting to 3 million might be a bit of a push. At 2.5 million, I think it has a real shot at beating FF13, simply because the userbase won't support it, and (gasp) there won't be enough casual users to give the game legs. I expect about 1.5 million first week (similar to FFX first week, bit lower), but then hardly any legs, ending at about 2 million, which is still very respectable. Course this all depends on when the game is released and how the market has changed since then.
