To summarize.

There will either be lots of people talking about PS3 domination.

Or there will be a handful of people trying to say "its still pretty good" and then laughing maniacally from behind their PC screens. And a larger group of people saying "its still pretty good" and then crying and sobbing being their PC screens.

Then there will be those that say "Hahaha it ONLY sold 1 million copies. Flop!"


That can easily be justified though.  If it does 1 million first day it will probably end up being the lowest selling Final Fantasy since 1991.

Once i tought a Final Fantasy-game never could sell under 2M - first week. And XIII got massive hype and marketing. For not tell its the first FF in a new gen.

well, FF X sold 1.9 on an install base of 5.2 million. A 37% attach rate.

Which means for the same attach rate FF 13 would have to sell 1.517 million first week to be on par with FF X, the second best selling FF.

You thought this 9 years ago apparently since X, X-2 XII didnt sell over 2 million first week. and FF IX only sold 30k over 2 million.

You are wrong, and frankly you haven't even been paying attention.

do you think square really cares about attach rate?  Honestly?  This is the most expensive FF ever, it's not getting cheaper.  I'm not saying it's a failure if it sells less than the previous ones, but it isn't going to be as profitable.

   Final Fantasy hasn't sold over 2m first week since the PS1 generation...

 

Out of curiousity, which Final Fantasy didn't get massive hype and marketing?
