I think he is.



Halo Wars sold good. So will FF XIV, but FFXIV will actually be good.

It could be on the 360 only if MS pays for it but they say FF14 can't be done on the 360 unless they delay it to down grade it to fit on the 360.  FF13 was suppose to come out last year but since it was put on the 360 too it was push back.  I believe it will be on 360 too but SE will not wait around like they did with FF13 so FF14 will be on PS3 1st then ported to the 360 a year after on 20 dvd's lol just joking maybe 2 at the most.

I bet if FFXIV would be announced for XBOX 360 we will see a lot of MEGATON threads again =p.

Two months.  At worse it will need 500k subscribers to play for two months and they will probably break even if not already starting to make a large profit.  The whole point of MMOs is that even if you spend the huge budgets to make the game you get people paying for years on end.  The profits roll in and you heave a steady cash flow.

People this game is a console EXCLUSIVE! It is on the PC as well. No Xbox 360 version. IT WILL NOT FAIL. Jesus >.>

I was thinking perhaps its pending on the level of FFXIII adoption by Xbox 360 users. TBH the userbase on the 360 seems perfect for an MMO because they are already paying for a subscription, whats another one?

I was thinking of that as well. Not to mention that most FF fans weren´t eager to pay subscriptions for FFXI and weren´t too happy with the look and races of the game. FFXI had a different demographic than the typical FF. Mostly PC people that never played FF before or haven´t since the SNES/PSone times.

 

FFXI had like 2m subscribers on its peak. It´s more than 6 years since it´s release and still has a steady amount of 500k subscribers making it on the top subscription-based MMOs. Most likely it will be the same for FFXIV.



Again with the "very small userbase". When will the PS3 userbase be "big" in your eyes. When 360 exclusives were being named left and right when it was well below 22 million, was it's userbase "low" to you, therefore not really warranting exclusivity?

Slap yourself. If you had any sense, you'd use the term "smaller" which is relative to something, not "small" which is an absolute. The PS3 userbase is "smaller" than the 360 userbase, but it is by no means small. What's gonna happen when the PS3 hits 50 million, and the 360 is at 58 million? Is the PS3 userbase still "small"...just because it's smaller than the 360 base. Well, either way, MGS4 tells you to stfu, because that "small" userbase sold that game 4.75 million copies. And now we're talking about Final Fantasy? And free PSN standard on EVERY PS3 console (not an expansion pack like the PS2 *thus the truncating SE was talking about*). Why is it that this game will inevitably fail? Japan alone will carry this game
