FF13 is a multiplat game

I would like 360 owners to see this marketing so that they will be motivated to buy the game when it lands in EU/NA & so that FF13 will sell 10 million

Not in Japan, and I think this is about japan. But anyway the game will fly pass 10 mil WW

THATS THE SPIRIT!

Darth. Today I dreamed that I entered this website and hot news were

" Final Fantasy XIII is the fastest selling entertainment product, breaking the record of MW2 with near 12 million copies in first week!"

Sure it was a dream, I know it isn't going to happen, but, I would be so glad if did.

WOW what a dream!

I'd SOOO WANT that to happen

you know a game that actually deserves it would get such high sales lol!!

Lets hope it does 10 million at least!!

Sorry to burst your bubble dude. But how the hell do you expect JRPG that isn't on the DS to sell 10 million?

It's totally impossible, FFX couldn't do it and JRPGs were a lot more popular back then. Shooters are way more popular now.

Like I say. Let's not understimate the power of marketing! A 150 million dollars marketing campaign can put the game there.

You have certainly overestimated it with your prediction. If you expect it to sell like MW2 then you will be extremely dissapointed.

I bet FFXIII will fail to sell 10 million copies worldwide. Do you accept?

I know it won't sell like MW2. But with a super marketing campaign I said it can be possible. Like, if there were ads in the main channels in prime time, if there were huge amount of outdoors, talk in mainstream media, a live action perfomance in middle time square, ads in bus doors, Mc'Donalds or Burger King deals, ads in movie trailers, special partys, ads in Xbox Live and PSN, themed GameStops(like this japanese store in OP), put a lottery card in every copy to give a super car and this kind of stuff it could be POSSIBLE. Over-saturing people with marketing. Sure it would be pretty expensive.

The reason people bought MW2 is because they had played COD4 (13m seller on consoles alone) and were anticipating the sequel. Not because they are mindless consumer whores that got the game because of some marketing campaign.

The game will sell a lot. Probably more than XII, I predict around 7 million. But 10 million is ridiculous, FF is not as popular as COD in the west.

Decent, depends if those were all pictures from one or 2 stores; or is it the trend for all gaming shops there? No doubt FF13 will do well, I wonder how many potential owners bought PS3s along with the FF13 demo back in the spring, curious to see what the hw boost will be like.

Darth, do you truly believe what you say? /=

Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
