Forums - Sales - In West, FFXIII will sell more at 360 or ps3?

Tyrannical on 09 January 2009

Well, if your a FF fan and you really, really have to play FF:XIII you can still do so on a cheap 360 arcade for half the price of a PS3.

I still think SE will release FFXIII in JP because the arcade model would allow you to play FFXIII at half the cost.

SE will probably annouce FFXIII vs or what ever other spin off they have for the 360 also this E3. FF sells in the US, and the 360 is still 2-1 ahead of the PS3 in the US.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Looking at the sales of FF games number 7 sold the most at nearly 10 million, 8 and 10 sold nearly 8 million and 9 and 12 sold over 5 million. Imo 12 was the worst so far, and it also sold the least of these. Now I've generally understood that gamers who liked shooters tended to differ alot from gamers who like rpg's and jrpgs. Some of my friends who like one type can't even play the other type.

So out of those 5 million hardcore fans who will most certainly be picking up FFXIII, how many of them own a 360? How many of them like playing Gears and Halo? I predict FFXIII on the ps3 outselling the 360 version 2 to 1 in the US alone.

Final Fantasy games transend standard JRPG trends... it'll sell awesome on the 360

 Like I said earlier... Final Fantasy bucks normal trends... you can't really predict a game that created the JRPG craze in North America... Remember before this was a Sony franchise this was a Nintendo franchise.

In the West, most likely the 360.

im not sure FF XIII will be as good on X360 as it will be on PS3. Think about it. They will have problems with the port, thats a simple fact. The engine is PS3 built from the ground up then ported to 360. I think the overall quality will be better on PS3 and the press and media will blow this up so everyone knows about it. But we have to wait and see. Last remnant was a technical nightmare on 360, how will it be when they stress out a port of a graphical-heavy FF XIII? No, the PS3 version will be the most polished one. If my statement becomes true i think that the PS3 version will be the winner in sales all over the world.

i still think its stupid that we here in the west have to wait for the x360 version. So stupid...

PS3. It's my favorite console, and it was initially developed for the PS3 so I expect it to be better on it. If it isn't... well then that sucks because its a first day buy for me. No room to wait for reviews and such.

I am going to die of laughter if this game not only sells more on the ps3 but way way more on the ps3.

that being said i think it will sell more on the ps3



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!
