FFXV sold PS3's when people thought it was exclusive and it will sell next gen consoles in Japan.


Well, I am certainly not interested in ffxv.  Xiii killed the franchise for me, and everything i have seen on xv makes me think it will be worse.  Still, I would never say xv would be flop.  Heck, I wouldnt be surprised if it actually ended up selling more than xiii...

XV is not XIII. I'm sure you've seen the videos. Its basically a hybrid between FF and Kingdom Hearts.

Yeah, and I was never a fan of kingdom hearts, which is why i said it looks worse to me.  Im sure it will sell boat loads though...



OP was so wrong about WatchDogs.



Last guardian and destiny will flop not the others
destiny is looks boring as hell
while FF 15 doing something new.
yet we saw how huge watch dog

That game is squares last chance to return to some semblence of FF7 glory. Hopefully it works because the west seems to like action rpgs better than traditional. I for one think it will work, especially with the popularity of Kingdom Hearts, regardless of what you think. The game sold PS3's and it didnt even come out on the PS3. I have friends who barely ever game anymore because they are always working who bought PS3's waiting for this particular game and it never came out. When it launches it will sell consoles in the west on both the PS4 and Xbox One. In the east its all Sony for this game.

Watchdogs is looking like it isnt a flop. In Fact it might end u becoming the next Assassins Creed for a new generation if it continues to sell well. Its looking like Ubisoft is getting close to dropping Assassins Creed and everything depends on the success of this game.

Watch Dogs... Check.

"Destiny will flop" Okay now that was funny.

As for TLG and FF XV, I must say I don't know. FF XV seems to be very different from the previous entries, but that's not a bad thing. At all. And I absolutely love the old school FF. But I can already tell that, no matter how good the game will be, some Final Fantasy hipster fans will be all like "It's not turn based, so it's shit. NO BUY".

The Last Guardian probably won't be a huge hit, but I think it will manage to pull decent sales (1-2 millions). Well, if it ever comes out, that is...



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

You already failed wd prediction, destiny will definitely be bigger then wd. Ffxv will probably be a success and tlg will definitely be bigger then ico or shadow of the colossus, because the mith it managed to create in ps3 era and the expansion of sony userbase, and probably will be bigger then infamous or killzone. Anyway it's the only game between this 4 with a real chance of fail.

You have a point. Even though it's not even confirmed yet, The Last Guardian is hyped. Like, a lot.

If it was to be confirmed, say during E3 2014, It could be very interesting.

LMAO, so wrong. Project beats is a guaranteed great game considering who is behind it ad the dedicated fanbase, and Destiny is gojng to be massive, you thinking it looks boring or not is irrelevant, have you lesrnednothing from op's thread?

- Destiny : A fps again. From what I saw, there's no real differences between Destiny and Borderlands 2. It's pretty much the same concept except it is now in a lively kind of open world. 


- FFXV : Final Fantasy is a dead brand by now. It still can sell copies, but unfortunately FFXV is somewhat linked to FFXIII in mainstream audience's mind. Even from intersted gamers, FFXV is still versus XIII. This game has been made to be FFXIII mirrored version, made by the same company.


- The Last Guardian : Lol, Ico is a crappy overstimated piece of shit. Shadow of the colossus a true, real fucking master piece and still the game has sold pretty badly. People has blamed marketing, but everyone and their mother know shadow of the colossus. 

- Watch dogs : I would have give a chance to the game if only GTA V had never existed. But GTA V maelstrom exists and a lot of PS4ONE owners are waiting for it to be released on next gen. 

I can't tell whether you're trolling but I'll just respond as if you weren't

Watchdogs 4m in 1 week.... looks like you were wrong there buddy. The fact that there isn't a next gen GTA is partly the reason why this game did well, I have no idea why you thought it would have the opposite effect. People look for substitutes in absence of their fav franchises.

Destiny? Bound to succeed, your justification for assuming it will fail is that it isn't entirely original. Neither is 99% of the games out there. For playstation owners its the closest they will come to halo, for everyone else it might aswell be Halo 5 seing as we're not actually getting that game for another year. Further more its open world. Why wouldn't it succeed? Borderland comparisons maybe somewhat fair but the games have completely different styles and settings, its like comparing Halo to Battle field simply because they are fps and have vehicle enhanced multiplayer.

FFXV? FF is still a massive name. Did you not see the poorly recieve and massively unwanted Lightning returns pass 1m WW. or what about XIV:Realm reborn bringing Square back into profit. Not only will XV be the flagship next gen JRPG, it will also represent a very different direction from XIII. There is no way that game won't do more then 4m. There is still no substitute for a quality FF game.

As for the Last Guardian, if it ever gets released it will do a fair amount in sales. Such titles are never pegged a mega sellers, more artistic endevours. In anycase the audience for those kind of games is far bigger then they were in 2006, the game will do 1m+ for sure.
