If I needed a women, Xbox Live wouldn't be a place I'd be looking.

[QUOTE="CNUrGames"][QUOTE="orb_03_2006"] I think they will. the game will be amazing. can't see why they wouldn't...seankane

FFXIII will be a system seller. Its the first next-gen FF, and the first sequential FF game in about 4 years. It'll be a big deal. Just like FFVII was a big deal for the Playstation-era, and FFX for the PS2-era. This time around, it'll be multi-console as well, so thats gonna generate even bigger numbers.

And while FF may not be as big a seller as GTA, its definitely a bigger seller than Madden. So if Madden deserves a midnight release, I see no reason why FFXIII shouldn't.

EDIT: Just found an interesting page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games

It lists Final Fantasy as the 6th best selling franchise of all-time. Some other interesting facts there, too.

I always appreciate a factual discussion. Looking at that I can't argue that Final Fantasy is one of the top selling franchises and I wouldn't even try, but I'm curious what their listing is for that. I mean even if you exclude 11 as an offshoot, that's still 12 Final Fantasy games plus spin offs that have sold 85 million. GTA has had 4 regular installments plus offshoots (no more than FF and with Tactics included, much less) and has sold 70 million. Final Fantasy has sold more overall as a series but if they stopped making them and kept releasing GTA in the same fashion it would crush it.

FF13 will sell well, don't get me wrong and I want to get it and think it will be good. But I don't know that a majority of retailers can justify staying open for a midnight sale because I don't think their immediate volume is going to be huge, in the millions of copies in the first day like they can expect for GTA or Halo releases.. I mean if you want that to happen or want there to be a better chance, I'd go pre-order it so they see the big demand for it and consider it. What I'm saying is I doubt that they will do a midnight sale. If they do, I'll gladly admit that I was wrong, I'm just not seeing it having a good chance.

Edit: I changed my numbers on sales. I had misplaced a 5 and a 0. FF has sold 85 million, while GTA has sold 70 million. Big difference (10 million over the difference I had listed before) but it doesn't change my argument.

If were lucky only games specifically designed for natal will use it.capthavic

Edit: My apologies, I found the bundle with the controller by scrolling down a bit more ::doh!:: They're the same price... that makes the question much more difficult.

Where is this Halo free controller thing because I could use another controller but I'm not finding that deal. I'd probably go ODST. As much as I really want to Pre-order Guitar Hero 5 to get Van Halen for free, I can't bring myself to buy another Guitar Hero game... I really want to, but just can't do it.

I bought a SE fightstick from MadCatz for SFIV, having a great time with it and its taken quite a beating and still working fine.

However, I did hear that many people had problems with the first batch of these sticks due to some bad design (loose washers rubbing against the PCB)but I believe the problems were addressed (Well I hope so :?).

If your looking for a controller for SFIV id suggest picking up a Hori stick if you can get one cheap.

Just wondering whats the appeal of a new MW2 specific controller? Do they incorporate turbo fire or something?
