@JEDE & CGI

But if it snot that I dunno how the game will get to 10 million.

I doubt it can outsell FF12 by A LOT on Ps3 alone (FF12 did 5.2 million on PS2)

so for my 10 million prediction to be met, the xbox 360 community will have to buy it

ok I'm not even going to bother replying with an argument now.

Hell even if others is a virtual tie there is no way in hell NA will make up 1.2 million worth of sales for the 360.... that would mean the 360 version sells more than 2 million and a FF titles breaks 3 million in NA.

FF12 - less than 2 million

FF10 - less than 3 million

FF13 - more than 3 million? doubtful.

That is a good point RageBot. The reason why the spin-off games don't sell well is because they are mediocre. So versus doesn't have to sell like them if it turns out to be good, which I'm 90% sure it is.

I Hope not! but:

1) The development staff BLOWS MIND. Watch this video and pay attentions to the staff members' names.

2) The Huge amount of time they are taking to develop this game. They have started working on it since 2003.

3) It is the only game beside FFXIII that uses the white engine (or Crystal engine).

As you can see there is a lot of care given to this game, if those reason don't convince us that this game will be a success, then we cannot be sure if even FFXIII itself would be a success.

Lastly, this generation is unpredictable. Who would have thought that the GT 5 prologue (a glorified demo) would have sold 4 mil, while GT 4 progloue sold like 1.5 mil on a much much higher user base. Maybe the same thing will apply to versus and it will surprise us with its sales.

All I can say now is that the circumstances are different. A lot of things have changed so we can't simply use the information from previous generation and apply it here. 

Hope I making sense.

Darth - FFv13 doesn't have fail written all over it because the characters from 13 aren't miraculously transformed into sluts wearing hot pants.

Darth has been so silly about Versus sales for a long time. One thing it seems he cannot comprehend is that this is no half assed spin off, the Kingdom Hearts team is making it for goodness sake. When the time comes for Versus to release it is going to get an all singing all dancing advertising budget like FFXIII.

It's going to do 2 million first week WW and it would be best for people here to quote that since I won't be on this forum when the game releases in 10 years time. At worst 1 million first week in Japan and another million combined from EU and NA.

Seriously underestimating a FF game here which is never a good idea.

2 Million WW First week for Versus = ROFL from me

PLEASE look at the sales of games for Ps3 on this website

most of you here.....the people countering my versus 13 arguments are the SAME people who overpredicted Killzone 2 & LBP

learn from mistakes

Versus 13 doing 2 million week 1 = it doing more week 1 than GT5 accordign to YOUR prediction RPG, it doing more than MGS4 week 1 too & close to GTA 4 week 1

I really want to see what RPG is smoking

& underestimating FF games.....doy ou think I'l LOVING underestimating PS3 & FF games.....hell no

but once again I see you ALL overpredicting PS3 gamesd

You certainly aren't talking about me. KZ2 sales predictions were actually averaged out to be 690k FW! That was under predictions. I also said Infamous 1.2 million LT. and LBP is on its way to 3 million which is where most said it would end up.

FFX-2 also had a MIND BLOWING staff imo

Jsut because YOU thinkt he versus team blows mind doesn't mean no-one thought the FFX-2 team didn't blow everyones mind......as trust me there are people on VGC who HATE Nomura, KH & many of the people in the staff list

As you said circumstances are different & the reality is not favoring PS3 at all......you have cherry picked about GT5:P.....there more things against the console than are going for it in this generation.

Also GT4:Prologue was not bundled & was not out for 2 YEARS before the actual game came......GT4:prologue never released in america too.....so that argument is pretty much null & void, not to mention there was already a GT game out on  PS2 called GT3 when GT4:P came out.

Please do some more research next time

Using GT5:P as a reason to say PS3 can sell SW isn't wise at all......you could have used MGS4.....but even it didn't do MGS2 level sales

@CGI

RPG himself said he expects GT5 to do 1.5 million week 1

it baffles me to see the same person predict FF Versus 13 to have a launch week 500K higher than it.....really baffles me

At the same time it surprises me to see Abraham predict FF Versus 13 to have 5 million sales when only 1 PS3 game has got there right now, & its called GTA4

@CGI

I hope in every way for that to be true.

Also I'm sure you know, I will only be too happy to see some of my PS3 game predictions crash & burn
