Didn't I say that GT was big and it would sell more though?

I believe you said "I guess it's big" and when I questioned you you said you didn't follow racing games. Like I said, common knowledge...

I can't say much about GT5 since I don't really follow racing games (I guess it's big?) but I have the funny feeling FFXIII isn't going to do much and it just going to be a general disappointment.

I'm sure it's going to look *fantastic* but I'm also sure it's going to be a mess and just not that good.

So I guess my answer is GT5 and GT5.

I agree with the bolded part.  But I am sure that FFXIII Versus will blow everyone away.

Versus might blow everyone away, but there hasn't been a bad main FF since maybe Japanese 3 or 2.



@starcraft

versus looks like a cheap spin off right now

FFXIII will blow everyone away trust me on this....spin-offs of the main game usually aren't better than the actual game...forget "blowing" anyone away

Sales go to GT5 of course, but actual game I would say FF13 even though I'm excited for neither FF franchise at least HAD good games in the series not so much 10, 10-2, 11, or 12, but maybe just maybe they can pull out another FF9.

 Sad thing is, i'm looking much more foward to GT5... and I dislike most racing games and love most RPGs.

twestern, I'm saying it's common knowledge. You don't need to be a fan to know it sells well. I have never played Pokemon but I know it's popular. I've never played Nintendogs but I know it's popular. I haven't played GTA much but I know it's popular.

It would seem logical to check how well the previous games have sold before commenting on which sequel will sell more.

 I actually didn't know Gran Turismo sold big until I came to this wensite... the three you mentioned I did.

I don't think it is common knowledge.  Among forum goers you'd think so... but general public?  Nah.

But Versus is done by the same lead guy that did Kingdom Hearts. Which is why I'm among those that are going to win the bet that KH3 doesn't go to Wii, but that's another topic...

Well yeah, I didn't know before I came to this site, either. I think it should be common knowledge amonst those that post here regularly, at least, especially those that comment on which game will sell better.

Common knowledge that it does well, which I said, not common knowledge how well. I know it sells a lot, I just don't care enough to look how much.

Why?  Because like I've said many many times: I don't give a crap about the game.  I really don't see why you're so hung up on this.  I know the game sells big, I even admitted that it will probably sell more yet you keep bpushing the subject.  Is it that hard to take in I hate the GT series and don't care how much it sells?

What do you actually know about VS? I had thought even less was known about that than FFXIII. Everyone thought Lair was going to blow everyone away too and we saw how well that did.

It could be good, who knows, just don't be blown away from a few random screen shots and far away promises until you've actually seen something about the game.

 The Kingdom Hearts series is only big for two reasons:

  1. SE made it
  2. Disney is involved.

I promise you that if it was the same exact game, same gameplay, same graphics, same story, same everything but it didn't involve Disney and some other studio not having anything to do with SE made it the game would be considered very mediocre.

Now I know you're going to take that information and try to shove that SE is making FFXIII and all its spin offs in my face but all I have to say to that is meh.  I've never denied that the game is going to sell well but that doesn't mean that it's going to be good. 



@twestern

PLEASE for Gods Sake don't compare a main FF to LAIR...

even if YOU don't like FF since it went to PS...that doesn't mean other people don't & comparing it to LAIR is just stupid..

@Windbane

well FFXIII is being made by the team that made FFX and the ones before it while FFXII was made by the FF tactics people....that isn't stopping people from saying FFXIII will be the crappiest game ever...
