FFXIII JP, especially day and date would be monstorous for the 360 at this point.

Oh what a year changes in Japan. Could imagine the 360 easily blowing past 2m HW sold before everything is said and done because of it. 3m could even be do-able.

 

I would agree with that if FFXIII iss exclusive to the 360, but with it being available on the PS3 also I don't see why it would push that much XBox hardware.  Not to mention that FFXIII fanboys all have the FFXIII demo now for the PS3.  So I can't see the core FFXIII fanbase all of a sudden migrating to the 360 when they already have a PS3.

My guess is that when the 360 "easily" blows past 2 million the PS3 will struggle to 6 million and Wii to 12+ million.

 

Compare the 360 and PS3's price. If you were an FF fan who really wanted Final Fantasy, but don;t really have the console yet because you, like many others are waiting for its launch...what would you get? The expensive one with only FFXIII and Versus, or the one with FFXIII and many other Sqeenix games?

Regardless, I don't care if its released in Japan or not. I don't live there.

FFXIII only matters for the American and others base... In Americas case due to the larger install base and for competitive comp in those listed as other(EU and what not)....As for Japan..Well.....Next Gen maybe.....

for FF. japan its easily 40% of the sales.

 

hell dragon quest got 4 million in japan alone, and a bit over 300,000-500,000 everywhere else.

If anything gets announced from Atlus, that may be the final blow for me to Jump In.

Well *touches wood* I am not poverty stricken and money does not always come first, I would want quality and the two huge FF games, not 1 huge FF game and these terrible JRPG made by the SE D teams. Obviously many people in Japan agree with me if you look at the PS3 sales compared to 360.

I used to live in Japan, sadly education came first. :(

I doubt the FFXIII will have 40% of it's sales in Japan....

Don't get Confused...This is a MS topic Reguarding MS news

Not quite sure where to begin here...by pointing out that one is a spinoff, that Star Ocean and IU aren't terrible in any sense of the word, or that the quality of both FFXIII games will be the exact same on both consoles....

I'll just say that was one of the worst posts you've ever made and leave it at that. Try rephrasing that.
