1 Million? No way, the last one didn't even debut at that, and 2 G is just a remake with extra stuff, like FF X International.



ArtofAngels on 05 March 2008

Let me explain (All in Japan)

Final Fantasy X debuted at 1.9 million.

Final Fantasy X International debuted at 130k.

Not convinced?

Final Fantasy XII debuted at 1.8 million.

Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Job System debuted at 48k.

MASSIVE difference.

Monster Hunter 2 Debuted at 700k, it's not going to see 1 million for the same game with a few new extra's, as you can see from my examples, in fact, It'll be lucky to even see 500k lifetime sales.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, I assumed someone would of replied after my last post before I finished compiling this data.

@ AoA

This is different though. Japanese people *LOVE* The monster Hunter Series. I'd follow ioi and say probably around 600k.

450k - my guess.

@DMJ

They also love Final Fantasy even more, hence selling over 2x that of Monster Hunter, and look where it's remake's with extra content get them.

ioi, your prediction is a joke right? Right?

I think Crisis Core sold something like 550K in first week.

I'd say close to 620K. When is it coming out?

You all so crazy.



kingofwale on 05 March 2008

remember, they give you pretty awesome stuff for pre-ordering. also, they have limited ediiton PSP bundled, which is for sure will sell out.

The game is different enough for people to re-buy it. But you will see it selling most of it in week 1

Okay, I did not know if a bundle, this changes things, though, nothing to the magnitude or anywhere near around 650k.

I'll take a ban bet with ioi anyday ;)

EDIT: I just saw ioi's post, I'm not one to back down! I stand by my prediction of... get ready... 220k.

You're all crazy, and so are the retailers.
