mass effect gameplay is broken and final fantasy stories are more original..

Mass Effects gameplay isn't broken. The game had technical issues. Final Fantasy is more of a story thann a true game. The story cannot change because of you, nor do you affect the world you're in.

FFXIII first week = ME2 lifetime sales

I think it's pretty obvious that saleswise FFXIII will more than likely sell more.

and @ Jonnhytesta. Certain FF games may have a more original story than Mass Effect, i am not too sure as i have not played all the installments. I know however that a lot of them do not have a more original story. Mass Effect's gameplay is not broken, i don't know how you came to that conclusion.



How technical is your game?

Final Fantasy 13 will beat Mass Effect in all 3 territories, both first week and lifetime. The first Mass Effect sold well, but it wasn't anywhere near as big as Final Fantasy.

Heck Final Fantasys opening week should beat Mass Effects lifetime.

Unless ME 2 is surprising or FF13 is a diaspointment.

You know for it to do that FF 13 has to sell at the very least 2 million opening week..and thats if ME sells horrible its whole life.

I'm sorry but i just don't see that happening.

FFXIII should sell around 1.5 mil in Japan alone first week. With US PS3 and 360 sales, good sales would get close to 3-4 million for 1st week,. It would be fantastic of Mass Effect to get those kinds of sales.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Idk...that seems really high.

Wait when you think about it there is almost no way FF13 can do more in one week then ME2 ltd.  Because the Japanese PS3 version is coming out at a different time then the rest of the world :P

I'm kind-of banking on FF13 banking in reviews (although I haven't seen a whole lot about ME:2 yet) barely and worldwide sales. I do think ME:2 will have higher first week sales though 'cause of U.S. boosting it.


Mass Effect had technical issues and still got large amounts of 9.0's. If FF had technical issues the games value would drop tremendously.

If you take out Japan...I still think FFXIII will have the higher opening. If your talking single platform, single territory, Mass Effect would probably win, but combined platforms and territories FFXIII will probably have a higher opening.

FF is a big name but I don't think it will make 3-4 M first week.

I really don't get how you guys think that ME2 just has to not have technical problems and it'll automatically get better reviews than the first ME. New IP's, especially large budgetted ones usually score better than their sequels because they're new and inventive. Just fixing the issues of ME will probably get it around the same Meta, but it doesn't ensure a higher score by any means.
