Square has mentioned a few times that they want to focus more on the international market, which is where the majority of the sales come for FF. They will probably do a worldwide release to compensate for the problem in Japan.

Any way, I think the sales of MGS4 in Japan will give a good idea on how well FF 13 will launch there.

Since when is MGS a mega game in in Japan? MGS 1-3 all sold between 750 and 900k there. About the same as Yazuka 1 and 2... and look how 3 has sold.... FFXIII is the only thing that can save the PS3 in Japan. Maybe GT5, but I have heard racing is not as big in Japan as it used to be....



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

 I wasn't talking about saving the PS3 if you will read.  MGS has a very dedicated fanbase in Japan, from my experience of talking to people in Japan.  It's a small, but dedicated fanbase.  There could be a situation where FF 13 is the one game that does well on the PS3, just because of the following of the series in Japan.  Even on the Gamecube, the Mario games did well on the small, but hardcore fanbase.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Call me crazy but chances of FFVI being on the PS3 is as obvious at usual but i also believe that future FF titles may be on the Wii or the next system (since its going to be HD) and im not talking about uberbase/fanbase wise but in terms of the current relationship between Nintendo and Square. If it wasnt for Mr Iwata we would probably never had any FF titles at all esp the crystal chronicles series

Its been almost 15 years (cause of the previous prepsident alienating Square) since theres been a FF title (the main series) on a nintnendo console and if you ask me its about time they made another one for nintendo.

I don't know. Didn't they say they wanted to milk the FF13 franchise for a few years? They may make yet another FF13 game with the same visual libraries they have built up mostly for PS3.

I'm gonna say launch title for the PS4.

FF13 is the one game that could turn things around in Japan. It really could start a major increase in sales, bring millions to the system, and continue snowballing into even more big games and sales.

I don't think one game will do it. You'll see a couple weeks of hardware increase, and a freefall.

 

UNLESS you boulster your library enough where its already trending upwards.

I don't think FFXIV will make it out this generation.

I don't know how much of what I'm about to say has been said... so I'll just be out with it.

If they're using the game engine, then another game should be quicker to make than it's taking them to make FFXIII since the groundwork has already been laid. As somebody else said, there are going to be multiple games in the FFXIII universe (6 I believe) so they may just spend this generation making games in their new world.

lauch title for the ps4 for is possible, square will want to get ff13, vs.13, kh3, so4, and crystal chronicles for wii all released prior to ff14. so if we do see ff14 this gen it will probably be the last year of the generation like ff12 was.

guess will just have to wait and see????



Mirson on 19 April 2008

Yes, I do see FF14 coming this generation to the PS3, maybe close to the beginning of the next generation. Square did say they were going to make lots of FF13 titles. Don't see FFXV coming this generation.
