You can't account the factors between the JRPG scenario from the ps2 era to what the ps3 era is. A lot of console users are eager to play an actually good JRPG. Don't get me wrong, ToV, SO4, Lost Odissey and Blue Dragon were all good RPG's in their core, but they don't compare to what the PS2 era offered.
That's why I hate predictions, there is always a number of factors that cannot be put into logical conjecture because their algorythims depend on using past tendencies to figure them out.

still..very true..im alos not a fan of using the past to determine the future but thats the way analyst work..they need some sort of knowledge to fall on so they use previous history..anything else and they'd just be pullin shit out of there ass

S.T.A.G.E seriously needs to reconsider his bet.

@Xxain

Yeah, and i don't discredit their work, i'm sure they follow the most probable statistical models for each scenario, and maybe this man used one who he considered to be the most logical. But even so, a lot can change when it actually comes down to the moment per se, and sometimes this predictions affect the way that the producers and corporate businessmen want to produce and market their products.
Us, european market suffer greatly from that, especially when it comes to the RPG genre, since market analysis and predictions of this kind, usually mean that most rpg games tend to not be released here, even if the EU market is the market with the most capacity for expansion and diversity nowadays.

What is it?

"I've made a bet with Pepride that FFXIII will not sell 1 million first week in Japan. I also made another bet that FFXIII will not score higher than Mass Effect 2 on average."

Oh dear, I think he's losing that one....

The first one is pretty much a lost case, but the second one is possible.

Most FF's end up at early 90 and little higher (IX being the highest at 94) and Mass Effect did 91, if the second one is great it could get like 92-95. And I don't think XIII is going to be highest rated FF game. But with the reviewers nowdays, you never know.

How Mass Effect accomplished that with all those bugs is something I still can't understand. Great Game but the Bugs and load times seriously killed it.
