So what's taking X360 version of FFXIIII so long to sell 1 million?

360 gamers like me preferring to wait for the sure to be superior JRPG.....

Lost Odyssey 2. :D

360 owners tend to realize how much JRPGs suck.

You don't like JRPGs, so you say they suck. That's awesome!

My best guesstimate:

1. PS3 Exclusive in Japan.

2. The 360 has more RPGs than the PS3, so there is more competition for FFXIII on the 360.

3. Inferior version

The PS3 version is superior and the 360 never should have had it developed for it.

Uh, no. Some of us prefer WRPGs because, ya know, you can actually ROLE PLAY. And, please show me the rule that says RPG can't have guns. :roll:

I bet there are actually 2-3 million copies of FFXIII on Xbox 360... unfortunatly, they have all been acquired via Digital Distribution.

Disagree completely. The 360 version is still a very worthwhile game.

The PS3 version was able to sell 2 million copies within 24 hours of release. Aren't Xbox users grateful that Square-Enix has given them the gift of Final Fantasy?

CammieIsWii

Given?

Nothing was given.

Microsoft paid for it.

Because it's a crap game.

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Not released in Japan. And it's an inferior port. That's why.CammieIsWii

It's also not an inferior port. It just caters to what Xbox users want, which is....

• Standard Definition cinematics
• Lossy audio

So does that go for all gamers who don't own a PS3, because that is essentially what you're saying. If you don't own a PS3 you have lower standards. Do PC gamers have teh lower standards as well?

EDIT: oh and grateful? you sound like this guy.

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Not released in Japan. And it's an inferior port. That's why.CammieIsWii

That's not really relevant since...

1. The Xbox 360 userbase in Japan is miniscule
2. When FFXIII released on PS3, it was only released in Japan. Yet it still sold 2 million in 24 hours.

And it's also rated the best by many fans :? Two is most often the game that is considered worst, not XIII. It's just haters blowing things out of proportion.

I don't think one genre is better than the other (I like JRPGs more, personally), but JRPGs are just as much RPGs as WRPGs. You control your character's progression AS a character (levels, stats, battle strategies, accessories, weapons). That is playing a role. I don't think actually controlling the story and narrative is a necessity in RPGs. It all goes by definition. But in no way are WRPGs more of an RPG genre than JRPGs. It's a stupid myth spread around by those that simply don't like JRPGs.

because the userbase is for the most part 13-16 year olds who only play call of duty and halo. mass effect and fallout are really some of the only rpg's that have had sucess on 360

I don't know.

Not overblowing the flaws, overblowing that it's the worst. Most people haven't even played all FF games, but those that have usually hate 2 the most.

You get to choose your character progression and weapons. You NEED the hookshot, the master sword, the bow and arrow, and you can't use the pieces of heart to boost any attribute but health. You can control your stats and equipment completely in JRPGs, thus, you control the character's individual progression, hence "role". Linearity and little story choice (there is choice in many other aspects) are things that don't necessarily mean that it isn't an RPG. You can disagree, but it doesn't make FF any less of an RPG.

Maybe because it's a crap game. I can't believe it scored an 8.5.

[QUOTE="Magik85"]I guess Lems prefered to buy ME2 :Pmajestix1988

because its a shooter

Majority of 360 owners are Halo gamers

the existence of this game on the x360 and the fact that the game sold 1 million copy is a huge slap to the PS3 and Sony, Sony should have dealt some time exclusive deals or good exclusive content, but the only difference is some gfx downgrades!!

JediRiff

funny because it think the opposite. those wrpg's cant touch games like ff7, 8, 9, 10, 13, kingdom hearts, persona 3 and 4, smt nocturne, valkyria chronicles

Easy. I don't think that's a type of game that most 360 gamers care about. Everyone I know who games on the 360, minus a few, aren't in to turn-based RPGs, including myself. Plus, there are already many good RPGs available on the 360, like Mass Effect 1 & 2, Oblivion , Fallout, Fable 2, and possibly Lost Odyssey. I really think most 360 gamers play shooters and action titles, while few play the RPGs, so even a huge title like FF probably won't sell as well as it does on the PS3, especially seeing as how a lot of Playstation loyalist, who played the FF games back on PS1 and PS2, are looking forward to it more on PS3. Just my opinion on the matter, and I probably won't be buying FF for my 360 or PS3, not really my type of game.Graphics look great and the presentation looks top notch, so I hope it does well across both platforms!

the real question is: does FF13 deserve to sell 1 million copies?

Because most people identify it with the PS3.
