Screw Sega for putting it on the Xbox, that was the one system I didn't own last gen -_-

Jet Grind Radio was THE game for cel shading, it's the first one I played, actually... looking at Wiki now,

"The first 3D video game to feature true real-time cel-shading was Jet Grind Radio (2000) for the Sega Dreamcast." Awesome, I get bragging rights now

wait! you never heard about JGR and JSRF before? *GASP*

 NPD is only tracking LBP at 356k in the US, which is about 27% lower then VG. If VG tracked Others 27% too high also, that would put LBP still under a million world wide. It still might not break a million world wide by then end of the year.

This, i agree 100% VC is a new series theres no way you can compare it to a tales title, of course you can compare it to IU since its a New IP and since there both exclusive to each of the respective consoles even more so.

Thats Ogre Battle.

Same franchise world.... totally different gamestyles.

Tactics Ogre is basically Final Fantasy Tactics.  The artstyle, gameplay, battle system, map, interface screens even a lot of aspects of the story (though more complex and making more sense....)

basicallty everying from FFT that wasn't the Job system was taken from Tactics Ogre.

He literally took Tactics Ogre... made it more casual, slapped a different job system in, threw in Chocobos and called if FFT.

@Bolded Rich text- In my Personal Opinion, no, no it wont be.

But if it does, Quality of JRPG's over Quantity any day of VII Days.

On topic, ... O RLY!?..... ...

Stickball is going to get pwned when FFXIII sells better on the PS3. Then we can put the nail in the coffin of the "PS3 can't sell JRPGs" argument. lol.

Anyhoo, LBP does 1 mil in 5 weeks. Hardly horrible. Mirror's Edge/Dead space haven't even came close to that, and that's on double the consoles. It could have easily ended up like that.

Oh, and do you all forget Uncharted? 

My goodness.

Define what kind of numbers you expect FFXIII to pull.  If it doesn't pull like 3 million in Japan alone it's going to be a huge disapointment.

Of course this is why it should sell more on the PS3 as well.  Becauase FF13 should be expected to sell AT LEAST 3 million in Japan.

If it doesn't pull near 8 million across both platforms with 3 million in japan it'd probably support the "these consoles don't sell JRPGs arguement'

As ridiculious as something like 7 million sales sounding inadequate are. 

I mean... it should go something like this

Japan 3-3.5 Million

USA - 2.5-3.5 million

Others 2-3 Million

With PS3 getting all that 3-3.5 million... the 360 would need to take nearly all Europe and US Sales... or expand the Final Fantasy base.

So i'm guessing stickball is betting on FF13's japanese sales to be much lower... more in the 2 million range.  Which would prove disasterous.

And why is that? We already have a good srpg in Fire Emblem that sold over 500k with ust US and Japan numbers, in fact it was almost 600k. We have dragon quest coming to the console, the game which many rpg developers, especially the small ones, follow. Wii has largest userbase, which includes many hardcore JRPG fans. Hell look at a SPIN OFF tales game on the wii, which has outsold ToV! A SPIN OFF! So, what proof is there that JRPGS will sell better on ps3, what proof is there that they sell better on 360, what proof is there that anything other than wii is the JRPG console of the future?

Anyways, on FFXIII, I don't think it will sell as much as SE wants it to sell (this is different from current expectations). Even if PS3 sells more than the Xbox version, its the wii that will be laughing when it gets the next one because SE wants to make a profit off it.

PS3 will have only have 3.5m consoles sold when it is released. No way it will pull that kind of attach ratio.
