Forums - Sales - Microsoft: FFXIII will sell more on 360

Even NA is questionable.

By the time FFXIII got released in NA/Europe (2010-2011?), PS3 will definitely be cheaper and more core gamers will have both consoles. I wonder how many of them will choose X360 version over PS3 version.

Ok. This game is coming out q4 09 in Japan aright? SE has said that after that they begin translating the game to English. Then AFTER the game has been translated they will BEGIN to port the game over to 360. Translation ususally takes 6 months to a year. How long will it take to port? I dunno we haven't seen a game this huge get ported from PS3 to 360 this gen.

The game is going to bang out 2-5 million copies in Japan before it will ever be played on a Microsoft console. The game will not sell 2 to1 in the US. More like 60/40 as GTA4 and SF4 did.

Sell more on 360? Not a chance in hell.

 

 Dude, GTA4 did sell 2 to 1 in the us.  Xbox 360 sales are 4.36 mil and ps3 sells are 2.37... that is pretty close to 2 to 1 my friend and nowhere close to 60/40.  I really don't understand how you think it won't sell more on the 360.  My only guess is you are smoking something quite amazing... or living in denial:)

Hey "dude". Haha.

Here`s your statement:

"Hey DUDE, gta sold 2 to 1 on 360 vs. ps3.  Then of course it will be the same with Final Fantasy. Of course. Of course? Please, of course...."

It`s about WHEN it`s released on the two consoles, and gta isn`t nearly as popular as Final Fantasy. I really don`t understand how you can compare those games.

 

 

 



I'm sorry but did you just say GTA isn't nearly as popular as Final Fantasy? If you mean in Japan then fine but world wide thats simply not true.

Since this was a response to NPD I believe microsoft are talking about NA, and if they are MS are correct. FF13 will (most probably) sell more copies on the 360 then the ps3 in NA. The 360 has a huge install base lead and its only growing by more, not to mention that the vast majority of multiplatform games sell better on the 360 in NA.

If they meant WW then they obviously know something we don't or they're talking out of their asses.

Even if that were to happen, it would still sell better on PS3.

That's an unrealistic idea to hold in your heart my friend... you think Microsoft just shared a few drinks and talk their way into this deal?  It's likely that'll be coining up for the VO in english and helping to develope for the 360... MS has a team that does this as a full time job and I'm sure they will be with Square every step of the way.  I would expect ever FF13 comercial to end with "Jump In" as well with MS likely putting up the money for the adverts here in the states.  Can MS do it?  It's logisticly possible for them to take it world wide and if it sells well enough here and in Europe then a Japanese release will follow... it's not like it would cost SquarEnix much money to get it working.

Check sales data of all Final Fantasy games and all gta games then.

 



Oh right, so a game on the 360 which is on about 3 discs will sell more than a convinient 1 disc and superior PS3 version.
M$ has forgot about FFXIII exclusivity in Japan that has always sold + 1.5 million first week. + 1.5 million in EU first week on PS3 + 1.3 million PS3 in NA = 4.3 million total for first week WW to approx 2.8million WW (well EU and NA) for the 360.
Not only that by the time FFXIII comes out in the rest of the world the PS3 will be much cheaper than it tis now!
M$ is getting too cocky and had better wake up and stop saying BS!
