Forums - Gaming - Square Enix: Final Fantasy XIII will outsell Final Fantasy VII

If the game is magnificently great and universally loved, its legs could carry it farther than many think. Maybe that's what Squeenix means. That it'll be very good.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

the chances of FXIII reaching 10mil is the same as GT5 reaching 10mil



Won't come close



I literally laughed out loud when I read this. Sorry SE, it's not going to happen. I'll still play the game though.

So the chances are great? I doubt that.

3 out of 4 GT's surpassed 10 million mark.

1 out of 12 FF's surpassed the 10 million mark.

75% GT's...

8% FF's...

Not to mention FFVII was on a system that pretty much had a MASSIVE cut of the marketshare (probably between 60-75%).  And an ad campaign unlike any other for a game of its time along with being virtually unchallenged outside of Japan in its genre.

Whereas FFXII is being split between 2 different consoles with about 50% marketshare, going against a ton of other games in marketing and no longer has the monopoly for the RPG market in the west.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

 

  

I want whatever they are smoking



Black Women Are The Most Beautiful Women On The Planet.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

In the FPS era? Sorry, no way.



Probably not gonna happen. I can't see 360 owners eating this game up that much. Maybe 2-3 million on 360 and 5-6 on PS3.



This game might has chance to sell 10 million but not as much as FFVII. I believe FFVII had sold 12 million across PS1, PSN and PC. FF series is not as popular during FFVII and FFX but everything can happen in future. FFXIII might revive the series like COD4:MW did for COD series.

My prediction

Low end
PS3 - 5.0 million
X360 - 2.5 million

High end
PS3 - 7.0 million
X360 - 4.0 million
