Uh. Because FF8 isn't one of the 100 best selling videogames items out there world wide and doesn't appear on NPD Or anything?

Isn't that because the game is second hand? I don't think they make new copies of ff8 and i don't think second hand copies are recorded by NPD or anything are they?

Amazon is selling it new. Relying on their sales data as a market indicator is incredibly stupid and this more than proves that.

It deserves it.

On another note, anyone think FF VII hit 10 million with the PSN downloads?

.. and Tales of Vesperia tops the list. Don't get me wrong, I love ToV.. but it never sold particularly well and for it to top the Amazon chart a year after its release?
