Listen guys I'm not on any side here (which is always the case).

Realistically we can expect the following for FF XIII:

PS3:
Japan - 1.3-1.4m week one, 2m total
NA - 400-500k week one, 2m total
Eu - 300-400k week one, 1.5m total

X360
NA - 300-400k week one, 1.5m total
Eu - 200-300k week one, 1m total

Very rough, but these would be reasonable expectations. I can't see it doing 10m but it should be solid at around 8m ish over the two platforms.

So, VG expects

PS3 - 5.5mill

360 - 2.5mill

That's scarily similar to my prediction.

i think they're underestimating Japan, because it could reach 2 million in its 2nd week.

I'm very happy with the MAG pre-order estimate, with that many planning on playing (and that is only the american chart) you don't have to wait more than 5 seconds to join a game instead of 15 minutes in the beta because of the lack of players. :)

It looks like MAG is slowing down. Nonetheless, it still has amazing numbers.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

Why would it do better on a smaller userbase? Especially since NA 360 owners arent that into JRPG's so I'd argue the userbase is worse than it actually appears to be... and that takes me into my second point which is JRPGs are becoming niche. So even though the Ps3 users are more interested in them than the 360 user base I'd still say Ps3 owners arent as interested as people were 5-10 years ago.

You expect Ps3 version to sell better... so obvious the 9 million lead the 360 has wont mean much. And combined Ps3 360 sales will still be less then Ps2's.

MGS4

/argument


Youre right it is the end of the arguement. It still hasn't outsold MGS3. Thanks for proving my point.

I never wanted to bring it up before because I didnt want the 360 users a reason to troll.

See, there's many, many, many games that go against that logic. GT3 sold more than GT4, FFX sold more than FFXII,MGS2 sold more than MGS3, Halo 3 sold more than Halo 2, Gow 1 sold more than GoW 2, Gears 1 sold more than Gears 2. Soccer games sell more in PS3 than in 360 and many other examples.

 

If you're going to say " FFX sold more because it was ps2 first FF", "GT sold more because it was ps2 first FF", "Gears 1 sold more because had stronger word of mouth", "Soccers games sells more in ps3 because EU loves PS" and this kind of argument just proves the point that there are other factor much more important than userbase.

Pre-ordering stuff is a waste of $5 at gamestop so these charts are pretty useless. Hard to believe that Bad company 2 has more preorders on ps3 than 360
