i will buy it on launch day and will get it for both systems, because i consider the 360 the "rpg" system for this gen and i need ff13 for its library. and i want it on the ps3 to go with my ff collection on the playstation brand.

what about u guys ?

i dont mean to be dick, but you a crazy if u buy it twice. Whatever, if ur an American u are a hero helping the economy. For me, I will buy it for the Ps3 and not the 360 because if people don't support the losing system sony could go down. We need competition to keep the industry from getting idle and  lazy. Peace!!!

Day whatever, i'll wait for the superior PC versions since this game seems as much about total IQ as anything else.



Tease.

Im predicting that PS3 FFXIII will significantly outsell its 360 counterpart

I agree.  should sell at least 25% more copies on the ps3.  Although in NA I predict the 360 version will sell the most.

No I'm saying PS3 will outsell it by a large margin in ALL Regions. 


that won't happen.  there is too big of an install base difference in NA.  Look at devil may cry 4, a former sony exclusive that sold more on the ps3 in every territory except NA.  The only multiplat games that have sold more on the ps3 in NA are very obscure niche games. 

Final Fantasy is not obscure, and with the 360 having quite a big advantage in RPG's, I don't see how the ps3 base could buy more than the 360.  I agree that worldwide it will sell more (mostly because of Japan), I just don't see it happening in NA.

You should also look how the genre of said game has done on the 360. EVERY JRPG has done horribly on the Xbox 360 except for Lost Odyssey which has yet to crack a mill and has been out since 07. Yes Final Fantasy is big but I would say that JRPGs would do better on the PS3 because the 360 hasnt been very accepting of the genre. WRPGs are another story though

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

do you have an example of a JRPG doing well in NA on the ps3 to prove your point?

There are basically no JRPGs on the PS3. Which could only help sales, right?

He doesn't because he doesn't have a point. The top 3 JRPGs for this generation on 360 go 800k, 550k, 520k the PS3 hasn't even got one to crack half a million yet.



Tease.

After great series has turned dismal. I'll wait for a month. But no doubt 360. RPG console. Goes with this gens collection of awesome RPG's.

So 1 month wait. 360.

not really, it basically means that fans of the genre have probably switched to 360 by now.  Either way, I don't see Final Fantasy selling better on ps3 in NA, worldwide yes, but not NA.
