Stop posting!Magicpaint said:PSone and PSTwo came rather late in the respective lifespans of both consoles (and somehow, I think the redesign thing is more of a handheld luxury), I wouldn't bank on it.
The PS3 system is not in the PSone or PS2 situation therefore I am sure Sony will take the required steps and do it SOON.

Would you even buy one or are you just being a Sony cheerleader?

Then get the point! It's either been you or someone posting with a very similar message that sometimes rails against a poster, not in the original post, copying-and-pasting directly from the Japanese boards. The data eventually gets translated, but the main stuff (typically the hardware and Top 10) is ready for immediate discussion.
Just checking, but do you actually see Kurosaki Ichigo's post as a continuous line of data? I see it as individual lines for each game.
P.S. I don't actually want you to die. That would be a brief window into my immediate reaction to a post that usually doesn't make the transition to a board setting. One of the things I like about message boards is that it typically forces you to sit and think about what you are going to say before saying it.
Based on Hesemonni's edit at the top of this page, I'm starting to think he actually sees Kurosaki Ichigo's post like that.
I see it like this.
Hopefully, everyone's browser can see the difference between those two posts.
If that is the case, Hesemonni, I'm very sorry for flying off the handle before. If I saw it as a continuous line, I'd probably think the post was as useless as you said, as well.

it'll come out, of course. but se is going to put it off as long as possible so they can get a decent installed base to sell to. it's going to be very hard for the game to match already declining sales expectations for this series i would imagine.Vinci said:
it *is* a bit of an unfortunate chicken-and-egg situation for the ps3 though.
Possible ToS: KoR release date?

If true, that's right in time for Golden Week right?

Where did you hear this? Do you even have a valid source to reinforce the theory that Square's "holding off" on FFXIII until PS3 sales reach a magical, GAF-conjured number?

Indeed, 4/24 (I guess its from Famitsu or a magazine and Namco website will be updated on Friday). Going against Summon Night DS, Valkyrie of the Battlefield PS3 and Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Portable 3 PSP.schuelma said:
Knowing Namco, they'll put Trusty Bell PS3 that same day too.

That's what I'm saying though: With a series like Final Fantasy, people are going to buy the system to get the game; it's not like it's only going to sell to those who already have the PS3. Putting it off, thereby extending the game's development time and cost, doesn't make a lot of sense if the system's install base is largely dependent upon your game being released.
So yes, chicken-and-egg, but it seems like an unnecessary step for S-E to take.

So basically, PSP outsold the DS by ~20K units this week while PS3 sold only about 20K units. PSP is like the PS3's respirator.

PS2 sales for the calendar month FF XII released; ~20k, ~55k, ~45k, ~35k, ~35k
PS2 sales for the calendar month FF X released; ~80k, ~90k, ~155k, ~105k, ~75k
PS1 sales for the calendar month FF IX released; ~15k, ~15k, ~17k, ~19k, ~19k
PS1 sales for the calendar month FF VIII released; ~85k, ~110k, ~50k, ~100k
I don't have data going back and I think that last set of numbers might be tainted because it comes from a backup of my spreadsheet before I color-coded my data sources. The first three are definitely from Josh's data.
Also;
PS2's five highest non-launch weeks ever; ~280k, ~200k, ~190k, ~175k, ~160k
Wii's three highest non-launch weeks ever; ~270k, ~240k, ~205k
PS3's three highest non-launch weeks ever; ~77k, ~69k, ~67k
So, your deduction is the following;
- The PS3 will sell almost double the PS2's highest week ever (as well as almost double the Wii's highest week ever and almost seven times as high as its highest week ever)
- FFXII will provide more than three times the bump that FFX, the highest hardware bumper FF ever, provided.
- FFXIII will provide a substantially bigger bump than FFVIII, a game that sold more in its first week than you predict FFXIII will lifetime.

Oneechanbara vorteX was full price. 7000 yen or something. Plus, EDF2017 was full price and it managed 11,500 on the 360 first week.
Some might argue that the drop in budget from Oneechanbara vorteX to Oneechanbara Revolution is high enough that the lower sales might make it worth it, but that seems sort of tenuous to me.

360 Oneechanbara vorteX - 6800Y - 8,556Stumpokapow said:
360 Oneechanbara vorteX (classics) - 2800Y - 3,266
Wii Oneechanbara Revolution - 5800Y - ~2,000
Those are around the numbers they pulled on PS2 too, so I doubt any of them has a budget.

Of course, being outsold by the Wii version of all versions just goes to show that there is indeed no justice in this video gaming world.Busaiku said:
Well, they just had a redesign (although not a major one) I don't think we'll see one so soon.Lightning said:

. We'll only get Wii... titles from here on.Stumpokapow said:
Yup, bad sales. They probably won't turn a profit on this game. But since they spent no money on ads, posters, etc. they probably won't lose a ton of money. The game is actually pretty fun and the engine they use for it looks a lot nicer than any of the PS2 games, so if they can recycle that for future titles it might have been a good investment.
Still, this game should have sold for 2,500yen or Whatever the Wii simple series is selling for. When you charge full price for a Wii game so close to the launch of Brawl, you are going to fail. I bought the game because I enjoyed it at Tokyo Game Show (where they had it set up on a small TV in the corner) but without playing it, it looks the same as the other games in the series that sold for 2000 yen.
