versus was always good.

[SantaC]

how much of that was 360 sales though?

[bork]

5.55 combined.  Not as impressive that way, but I guess it would take a lot longer for any one territory to reach that amount.  DQIX's sales are the real   .

And yeah, it would be nice to see the breakdowns on FFXIII sales per platform.  Well, for anywhere outside of Japan at least.   

[Himu]

Watch a sizable portion of Versus content be taken out due to having to get the game on 360. People will say that 360 didn't impact FF13, but then they say they removed half the game from FF13.  I wonder why?

Sony, get exclusive rights you dumb fucks.

Most mainline FF's these days do 5 million so no, it's not that impressive. FF12 did 5.2 and wasn't multiplat.

[Great Rumbler]

Probably about a third of the NA/EU total, a little more than 1.5 million.

[Bebpo]

JC2 sales in NA are shit.  Wtf gamers?!?

It's crazy seeing EU becoming the sales powerhouse this gen that is saving developers/publisher's asses on a consistent basis when NA or JP sales don't cover the bill.

Still, the fact that it ended up around what normal mainline FFs is a good thing.

[Bebpo]

Versus is gonna be fuck awesome.  After you guys play Birth By Sleep (Sept 7th US, 10th Europe) you will be on your knees going "nomura-samaaaaaaa please give me versus xiii"
BBS is the prototype for Versus XIII and it's the best game this year by far.  Who knows how amazing Versus will end up.

They better not cut shit.  If they want to port it to X360, that's good but just release the PS3 version in march like planned and then spend 6 months porting it and release the X360 version in the fall along with the US PS3 version.

[AdmiralViscen]

When is DQ6 coming out here?

[Himu]

Himuro, are you for real with the cut out FF13 content?

alternatively, Square can stop being wishy-washy and develop for both platforms from the ground up, so nobody suffers. 

[maxy]

It looks like sfags are going to have another meltdown.

Bu bu bu bu things where cut from FF13...yeah like more linear corridors would make game any better

Besides how can any normal sfag believe anything from SE...

Oh cool, I'll download Birth By Sleep now and see if it lives up to the Bebpo-hype then.

EDIT: LOL, they've already started work on an English patch for it. 

[Sho Nuff]

Good jon! Raises for everyone!

Yeah, continue to tell the industry that you don't want them to make anymore PSP games and don't want a PSP2 by pirating psp games @_@

Piracy killed what would have been the best handheld ever just like it killed what would have been the best console ever :\

[maxy]

I bet that SE has only a tech demo for Versus.

[bork]

Yeah, continue to tell the industry that you don't want them to make anymore PSP games and don't want a PSP2 by pirating psp games @_@

This is like me saying "Yeah, continue to tell the anime industry that you don't want them to make anymore animu by pirating TV shows. @_@" to you 

Piracy killed what would have been the best handheld ever just like it killed what would have been the best console ever :\

Yeah, sucks, doesn't it?  Good thing I'm not one of the ones to blame, what with the 46 games I currently own, and easily 60+ purchased over the lifespan of the system.

If I wanted Kingdom Hearts for realz, I'd buy it.  Zero interest though.  But fuck Square Enix for making it so that I can't just rip the game and play it on my CFW PSP.  Before this latest crack, I wouldn't have been able to play it if I purchased it on my 2000.  It's like they didn't want a sale!

That's what big sisters are for!

[tiesto]

FF13 is a mediocre game, but more sales for the RPG genre is always a good thing.

[WrikaWrek]

FFXIII has really awesome combat. But jesus, i'm in this spot, in some sort of air ship, and it's just hours of combat. Tired!

Probably not.  Bebpo has a new GOTY almost every week. 

[Rman]

Got my money's worth.  Great game.

He is sad

best japtard rpg "villain" ever

[Rman]

Where's he from?

[Joe Molotov]

One of those copies was sold to me. I got rid of it though because it was ass.

Where's he from?

Last Remnant, JRPG of the Generation.

[Trent Dole]

My work has 3 used copies of the 360 version in along with a PS3 copy. There's a Gamestop upstairs from where we are so I'd wager a lot of those 5.55m are in used bins.

[Himu]

I sold it back as well.

[Mr. Gundam]

I still haven't beat it. Got to Gran Pulse before going on vacation in Japan... haven't touched it since.

[Smooth Groove]

There have also been huge sales for FF13 less than two months from its release.  Kmart had it for $30 a few weeks ago and every other major retailer has it for $40 to $50.  I can't remember the last time that happened with a major FF title.  Either SE or the retailers must have had not much faith in FF13.

FF shooting for irrelevancy bro.

[iconoclast]

Every game can be had for $40 after a week these days.

[Himu]

Not necessarily

[Bebpo]

Every game can be had for $40 after a week these days.

Yep.  I mean Alan Wake is $40 right now on Amazon.

[Himu]

so ff is now on the level as alan wake - a random b game? i rest my case.

[Diunx]

lol metal gear solid 4 only sold a million less and that game wasn't even multiplataform.

Kojima

[demi]

so ff is now on the level as alan wake - a random b game? i rest my case.

Huh?

[Don Flamenco]

I went to gamestop yesterday and was either gonna get Alan Wake or FFXIII (to play through the next 5 hours to get to the "good part.") I chose Alan Wake and it was the correct choice. 

Maybe next drought, FFXIII.

[demi]

So you had to choose between two good games? Yeah, that is a tough choice

I'm glad you made it through, I bet that was frustrating

I got both FF12 and FF3DS for half price when they came out, from TRU

Alan Wake is a random b game?  The game has been riding the hype train since its reveal.
