1, 2 and 4 are horrible reasons.

1) PS2 Userbase also went to 360 and Wii in large numbers.

2) Most people don't own both consoles.  So this isn't really an issue.

4) Not RPGs... and also two exceptions to a general rule of 360 domination in software sales.

While 3 is only a good reason for SUPER hardcore fans who somehow haven't bought a 360 or PS3 yet.... which can't be that many.

A better reason woud be to cite weak JRPG sales for 360... not that they've been much better on PS3.

Although... even that is incomplete.

Since Final Fantasy's sales are mostly non RPG fans.

I know that sounds weird but its true.

Most people who buy Final Fantasy games don't LOVE RPGS.  They just want 1 or 2 a generation and buy Final Fantasy because of it's strong brand and familarity.

People see "FINAL FANTASY XIII" and think "The RPG i'm going to buy this generation." 

As such... we basically have no good indicators about how it's going to sell on either system, and which system is going to sell more.  The number of sales Final Fantasy gets in the is multiple times the next highest RPG.  (Not counting pokemon... since someone will throw that in i'm sure.)

Kasz, to avoid pokemon argument you just need to specify that FF is the best selling rpg in home consoles.

Anyway, I do agree with your argumentation, FF is a mainstream game and have it own fanbase disregarding liking other rpg or not. For example, i love JRPG in general, but my brother hate them all, but, when we talk about FF he goes crazy, he would buy any system for a main FF. This game is considered so important of it big fanbase worldwide that would buy any console for it, in Japan it's near 2 million people.

SO4 from what I understand is a lesser quality game than SO3. You can't compare the two sales wise. Especially when the PS2 install base is divided between PS3 and 360. Chances are SO4, assuming the ps3 port will sell better in Japan and assuming that PS3 owners in the west that have been starving for a jrpg will buy it, will sell over 1 million overall across both platforms. For games that got mixed reviews from critics and fans, Square-Enix is lucky that SO4, TLR and Infinite Undiscovery sold as well as they did. 0.56m on 360 alone is pretty good. Not Lost Odyssey (0.81m) good. But from what I've heard, SO4 and TLR don't deserve Lost Odyssey sales quite frankly. And Infinite Undiscovery (which I've played through) definitely doesn't deserve better sales.

I wouldn't say crush. JRPG's haven't been that popular this gen.

I said this a few times already. The only JRPGs that ever sold well was Dragon Quest, Pokemon, and Final Fantasy. We've already seen how well DQ and Pokemon done this gen, soon it'll be time for Final Fantasy.

well crush ww it's over 2 million sales. ps3 will do that in japan alone.

mass effect sales worldwide.

Calm down your rant. Thats not what I am talking about.

Thats not the point. The PS3 version will not crush the 360 version, especially in this economy. It will beat the 360 version in sales, but it will crush it nowhere outside of Japan. As for Mass Effect, leave Mass Effect 2 out of this. That game is guaranteed best RPG of 2010. The episode of Gametrailers TV dedicated to this game revealed just how epic it will be. I was WOWed and learn so much every day about this game. Do not underestimate this game. Good lord that game is on fire. I hate seeing new info about it as it kills me that I have to wait 5 more months.

lol, ok then what are you talking about?
