If by your estimate, it's only going to sell 7 million, releasing it a year later on other consoles is not going to yield 13 million more.

And no FF games has released on more then one console (FFXI aside).

 FFVII came out on PC.


So did FFVIII. What's your point?


 I don't think FFVII came out for the PC, FFVIII did though, so I stand corrected.


Actually you were always correct; PC is not a console. FFVII and VIII were both on PC though.

Price drops in Japan are having even less of an effect on PS3 sales than they do in other regions, and it's already far cheaper there than anywhere else.

I think it is safe to say the "price is the only thing stopping the PS3 in Japan" ship has sailed..... 


 So you're saying the PS3 is cheaper then the Wii and the 360 over there?

The PS3 is cheaper in Japan than it is priced anywhere else in the world.

Actually I didn't say that anywhere.  Read it again and then see if it's worth arguing over my actual point.

And btw, any argument where you need to compare the PS3 to the 360 in Japan isn't going well for Sony supporters.

The opinions of 'Rock_on_2008' are solely his, and his own, and do not reflect on other PlayStation 3 owners/fans/prospective buyers.

With MGS4 I was doubtful about it only being possible on the PS3. But FFXIII is going to be way too large. The worlds are huge, and they have been taking forever to get it done. The cutsences are rendered in game as well. If Lost Oddessy was 4 disc, this game be like 8 discs on the 360.

I really doubt it would anywhere but the PC. Even the profit from Lost Oddessy wasn't even to compel a port. Final Fantasy would certain make more sales, but by that time the PS3 will be at $299 so anyone wanting the game would pay up to play. Worldwide I'd say 30% of 360 owners will own a PS3 by the end of this generation.

There just wouldn't be any point in porting to the 360. It would be dumbed down, difficult to fit on discs, and the game would be ruined by swapping over 4 discs during the game.

Not a chance, that's why SE is making Infinite Undiscovery exclusively for the 360.

The main FF is never ported or multiplatform...they just make spin-offs on other platforms.

PC's with Blu-ray gaming disks now that would be a great idea.
They could make a future FF game on PC but considering how FF VII and FVIII flopped on PC it is highly unlikely that an FF game will ever be on PC again.
