Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360 to sell more FFXIII’s than PS3?

Probably 60/40 split favouring PS3 worldwide.



Around the Network

I anticipate a huge lead for the PS3.

Japan adding as much as 1-2 million in sales alone to total will be the main deciding factor though.



 

it depends on the install base of both consoles when the game is released



1) US sales might favour the Xbox, but Versus might play a role as well

2) Japan will go entirely towards the PS3

3) Install base difference will be reduced (normally) so the lead the xbox has, will play less of a role

4) PS is the brand most people connect FF with, which will push more people towards the PS-version I feel



Think it's only possible in the US.

 

Most FF fans already own a PS3 I think



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Worldwide: No. Asia (Japan at least) is getting the game exclusively for PS3. And the PS3 has surpassed the 360 in Europe now, hasn't it?

In the US, that's possible. But even I think that's somewhat unlikely. Most die-hard Final Fantasy fans would've gotten a PS3 by now. Those who haven't will probably get a PS3 anyways for Versus. And I don't think we'll see that many newcomers through the 360 either. I've talked to all of my friends who own a 360 (that's a lot by the way) and they don't plan on picking it up nor do they think it'll sell well. Although there have been a lot of surprises this gen...



Currently playing: Marvel vs. Capcom 3, League of Legends

The article is rubbish

1. It does not mention that the game is a PS3 exclusive in Japan
2. It does not realise that PS3 sales are catching up with 360, and have already passed them in Europe

1. Fine

2. Doesn't it sell the best in the U.S as an overseas territory anyway and the U.S console sales are going to far outstrip the PS3 sales in Japan by a large proportion so the Xbox 360 lead there is going to be more important?

 

FFX :

JPN - 3.02M
US  - 2.74M
Others - 2.19M

38% of sales came from JPN

FFX-2

JPN - 2.41M
US  - 1.82M
Others - 0.98M

46% of sales came from JPN

FFXII

JPN - 2.42M
US  - 1.83M
Others - 0.84M

47.5% of sales came from JPN


I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that the game will sell best on the PS3 since it's PS3 exclusive in JPN....

And JPN always has the least amount of consoles sold compared to US and Others..... Yet JPN's where most of the Final Fantasy sales still come from..... look up the first 5 week sales of FFIV DS remake and see for yourself how huge the difference in numbers are.....

PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.
