FF is only HUGE in Japan not so much in the west, I still think a new announcemnt will take the top spot.

 

 where are you getting your information from?

because from here

it seems like its pretty big in all 3 regions. With Japan being the biggest NA being right behind them and Others trailing a decent size away but still keeping up.

I think you should recheck your sales data on those games and make that comment again.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I think when he said big he meant the impact it will have on gamers and the media at E3, not by sales. IF that was the case then GT5 most likely would be the biggest(if shown at e3).



No mention of Gears of War 2? Heh. Seems like the Sony fans are out in force today on VGC.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

What does liking Final Fantasy have to do with being Sony fans?

It isn't really that suprising to understand more people enjoy Final Fantasy than Gears of War.

It was on topic because other than GT5, FFXIII is the next major exclusive for PS3. The largest PS3 exclusive to date has been MGS4 and, while its too early to call it a flop, 185k sales for what is probably one of the biggest budgeted games in history must be uncomfortable for Konami and Sony. It is registering HUGE drops weekly (much more so than comparable games) and will probably pick up sales around the holidays but no way Konami and Sony are happy about it.

If MGS4 disappoints saleswise, it will be very bad for the industry as a whole and Sony in particular.

 



Being that it has been shown (in some form or another) at two previous E3s I don't think that it can have as much of an impact as you would think ... Now, I'm not expecting Zelda but being that the last Zelda was released late in 2006 (with most development being completed well before that) so the next Legend of Zelda game could already have seen 18 to 24 months of development by now.

The "Biggest" game of E3 will probably depend on who you ask though ... The core gamers for the PS3, XBox 360 and Wii will (likely) each have their own answer which will be drastically different from what the more mainstream gamer (and mainstream media predict).

The game I expect to be huge and receive no attention because it is not on a home console is Dragon Quest IX.



First lets have the op define what he meant as big. The impact,sales,etc. Now if he meant impact, then I expect Nintendo to take that, and if he meant sales, I also expect Nintendo to take that. Unless FFXIII is a playable demo then I don't see it competing. GT5 is probably the closest one to compete in sales, and FFXIII in impact.

 Lol great attitude from a mod there.

Of course he leaves out the fact that Sony fans are talking about the topic and leaves out the others arent. that might be the reason behind no one mentioning other than sony titles.

I know for a fact. sc94 pumpkin face mrstickball dmarika trestres arent sony fans/



I say Halo Wars, Tekken 6, God Of WarIII, and Final Fantasy XIII



TO GOD BE THE GLORY
