wow some people just cant understand things even when their spelt out

READ THE OTsupermechakirby

The EDITED OT? Yep, read it. New franchises need time to grow. Fair enough. However:

FC Final Fantasy - 520,000

FC Final Fantasy 2 - 760,000 

That was also a new franchise back in the day. With a lot less gamers around. Also, Square wasn't known AT ALL back then (FF1 was their last-ditch effort to get some popularity before they went out of business, from memory), yet BD has several highly respected and revered ex-Square names on the project. And these sales numbers are just in Japan.

So your argument is still just as ineffective, unfortunately. :|

Considering that the announced Home online network for the PS3 is supposedly going to feature numerous advertisements, including rooms devoted specifically to certain retailers/etc (correct me on this if I'm wrong), I had a thought. If Sony is going to be gaining all this revenue by selling advertising space online, do you think that would blunt/counter the $300 loss they're making on each console, hence making it easier for them to drop the price?

uh oh I have been owned :roll:

again pay attention, you go to VG charts and get me the correct number for FF then

thats all it has on the site, its errors, VGcharts sucks that way

It doesn't have the original NES FF1 and FF2 in the list, from what I can see. I must ask though, if you acknowledge that VGcharts is full of errors and sucks, then why are you using it to support your 'argument' that BD > FF saleswise? :? 

I call backpedalling.

After same time period from their release:

FF3: 1,243,250

FF4: 866,750

FF5: 2,379,750

FF6: 2,400,500 

FF7: 3,119,750

FF8: 3,580,250

FF9: 2,747,000

FF10: 2,441,750

FF10-2: 2,011,500

FF12: 2,341,250

And that's just in Japan. It would appear that your argument is slightly off-kilter, good sir.

Anyone remember Gradius III for the SNES?

Kev_Unreal

God, that game was an exercise in sheer masochism, even on the easy settings. I never managed to beat it, even after coming back to it after all these years. :? 

As for mine? Well, there's a TON (been gaming diligently since I was around 3), but I'll try to narrow it down to just a few.

Early childhood: Getting a Sega Mega Drive (Genesis to people outside AU) for my 6th b'day, and playing Sonic 2 (later Gunstar Heroes also) like crazy.

Primary school years: Being the 'tester' for countless SNES and Genesis games at our local rental store (Dad was a manager), got familiar with several of the timeless classics people recount today. Later got PS1 with FF7.

High school: Got a PS2. Was simply floored with the graphics after turning it on for the first time and watching the opening scenes to GT3. Enjoyed several great new franchises.

Fairly recent: Picked up MGS2 in a bargain bin. I'd played games with great stories before, but this one REALLY took the cake, abstract or not. Picked up SoTC and We love Katamari. Good times :D

Last few weeks: Went on a game-buying binge, most prolifically killer7 and RE4, both of which I'm playing now. I now see why RE4 is considered one of the best last-gen games, 'tis awesome fun. Killer7 is very interesting and unique, and out of ALL the games I've ever played, it's hands down the weirdest. And I'm not even halfway through yet.

Your list does not include MGS, so you should leave.l_The_DetoX_l

Ever consider that maybe he hasn't played a MGS game? Or that he doesn't enjoy them as much as other games? Tell me how your opinion is more valid than his, please.

PS3 is shiny

Dude, hold the phone, nobody ever informed me of this! Great Odin's raven, I need to rush out and spend my AU$1000 on it RIGHT NOW!
