It's a shame for you guys forum opinions don't translate into real life sales

It's a shame that you made no contribution whatsoever to this thread. I mean, I can completely understand that you disagree with what people have said here, but why not at least state your opinnion as well?

It's pretty obvious what my opinion was ... and pot calling kettle black, since when have you been an upstanding poster of VGChartz? yeah ..

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you do not mean to say that Final Fantasy is anywhere close to as popular as Call of Duty worldwide, which is what "especially in Japan" implies. I will go on to assume that you simply typed whatever you wanted to say incorrectly.

I don't know, that's a tough call. I mean, sure COD has VASTLY increased it's popularity, but to say it's more popular (more known) around the world than Final Fantasy? I don't know man....

Modern Warfare sold twelve million copies before factoring in PC sales. That is a one, a two, and six zeroes. That's more than Final Fantasy sold at the absolute screaming height of its popularity.

The Highest selling Final Fantasy game is Final Fantasy 7, which sold 9.71 Million copies. You also have to remember that this was released on ONE console as opposed to MW's Multiplatform status, where the PS3  shares an equal amount of playing ground with the 360 in terms of Multiplats.

In this time, seeing how Japan basically ate up Dragon Quest, a Square Enix developed game, It would be ingorant to immediately say that MW2 will dominate FFXIII. If I recall correctly, 2 months was all it took for Dragon Quest to sell more than 3.50 million copies. This show you how much Japan adores RPG'S. So in conclusion, I wouldn't underestimate FFXIII. MW2 will be excellent in terms of sales, but as far as I know, I think its a mixed bag



This is the true definition of owning.

I think the FF bundle will seel more as I guess are more RPG fans waiting to jump into this gen than FPS fans.



Play my LittleBigPlanet level: Mystic Runner. Thanks!

FF13 Will sell more because

 

1.MW2 is split up in America between 360 and PS3.

2.More people in Ameirca have 360 purchased than more people in Japan have PS3 Purchased

 



Gran Turismo 5 Bundle / Thread :p

Nah, I think it's the FXIII bundle ;)

Dragon Quest has always, always, always obliterated Final Fantasy in terms of Japanese sales. It's not a contest. If you think FFXIII will sell in the neighborhood of DQIX in Japan you are in for a rude awakening. More, it would have to sell that much three times, once for each major region, to compare to the first Modern Warfare. Activision expects MW2 to be bigger.

This isn't going to be a contest. It's going to be a massacre.



FFXlll Bundle will because its the first FF game for this system.

MW2 Bundle will sell well but mostly everyone that wants MW2 already has an Xbox.

Hey, for the smart guys, this isnt about what game will sell more, its about the bundle, and I think FF 13 bundle will have a bigger impact even if MW2 will sell a lot more games, but not more consoles.
