FFXIII PS3 Sells Three Times More Than FFXIII 360
Final Fantasy XIIIWe distinctly recall some guy at Microsoft claiming Final Fantasy XIII would sell more copies on the Xbox 360. We know Square-Enix thought going multiplatform with the series was the right thing to do.
Well, we hope the veteran role-playing publisher is happy with a million and a half sales of the 360 version worldwide. That's about 1/3 of the overall number, according to a recent VGChartz update, where it seems Microsoft's prediction (even analysts found it to be a little nutty) fell flat. With worldwide sales of about 5.75 million and 4.24 million copies of the PS3 version, it's clear that Sony's platform is still the console of choice for followers of the legendary franchise. We could bear in mind that the game didn't release for the 360 in Japan, but then again, what if it had? There are about 12 360s in that region so it probably wouldn't have mattered much, and Square-Enix obviously knew that. Besides, the PS3 version still sold twice as many copies as the 360 version in Europe, and it even won in North America. Remember that the 360 has a much larger lead in terms of console sales in the US - the gap shrinks to about 4 million if you count all global sales - so this statistic is also very significant.
Will this dissuade Square-Enix in the future? Nah. We're certain they view those 1.5 million 360 copies as a stone-cold success. Now we'll just wait for Versus XIII to be announced for the 360...and sell 1/4 what the PS3 version does.

Wonder whether the moro...businessmen in charge at SE will realize that they have a loyal base on the PS3. Of course, if they do, they'll probably just worry that they haven't got as many on the 360...

Microsoft ruined the video game market!!!!
This is a clear indication of how they failed to do what they've been doing with other games and other franchises. They buy the rights, with no artistic credit themselves, and claim their console and their version of the game is better.
If it weren't for Xbox Live and Halo, Xbox would be a memory like the 3DO, or Sega Saturn, or Virtual Boy.
Damn you Microsoft Gaming division. You managed to take a beautiful artistic industry and turn it into a money-hungry soulless corporate business. Thanks to you, games are about making millions of dollars with a sub-par prodcuct. I don't know how those guys sleep at night.

I do agree it was a let down of a Final Fantasy, but the game in and of itself deserves above average sales. Compare it's actual quality (not perceived due to fan loyalty) to that of MW2. I know they're different genres, but I mean, there are worse games than FFXIII that still sold better.

I've grown to appreciate FFXIII for what it does right and I LOVE the soundtrack and the storyline. While it may not be the best within the FF series it's one of the best games I've played thus far this generation and I've put far more hrs into FFXIII than UC2.

The delay on the PS3 version has nothing (IMHO) to do with coding prolbems with that version, it's all to do with them still trying to secure a release on the 360.

That kind of attitude is why they changed the game up in the first place, because the "Western" market had not been coming around to their Japanese style in their eyes. These 1.5 million sales might be paltry in comparison to the sales of the PS3 but I can guarantee that they see it as a clear indicator that catering to the western "twitch" gamer is the way they need to go to succeed, instead of seeing it rationally and thinking that most people bought it on name recognition alone and were expecting something else.

I'll tell you why. FFXIII is the way it is because of the 360. Don't believe anyones lies. The game is gimped. Had they stayed exclusive to Playstation and gave us a FF in the vain of 6,7,8,9 or 10, would the game have sold better than it did?
Looking at the sales numbers of previous releases I'd say yes. It looks to me that creating a port for the 360 didn't increase the sales from 4.24 to 5.75, but rather decreased the sales from 7 to 5.75.

PS3 version is on Blu Ray. The 360 uses DVD's. That alone factors into development.
Would FF13 have more content if the 360's DVD's weren't a factor? Of course it does.

Friday, September 03, 2010 @ 3:02:26 PM
If FFXIII had only been released on one DVD than yes it would be a sure thing that the development of the game was hindered since it takes up a large portion of a Blu-ray disk.
But it doesn't, it takes up multiple DVDs just like 7,8,9 took up 3 or more CDs on PS1.
If the data in a videogame is spread across multiple disks it doesn't automatically mean a company was forced to change its original concepts and mechanics for a game.
Looking at the history of the FXIII development cycle leaves any blame one might have for FXIII's shortcomings on SE, not the 360's disk medium.

So Max's logic is quite sound. The DVD-gimp effect is obvious and is the reason for the game's mostly linear design.

A lot of people are still bitter that SE chose to make FFXIII multiplatform but that doesn't justify blaming DVDs for any shortcomings the game may have. Se's decision for a linear approach to FFXIII was conceived well before their decision to port the game to the 360.
Okay, off to work. Prove me wrong, you've yet to in regards to religion Shams so good luck with this one.

I once read that it costs the 360 developers money each time a game goes over one disc. Keeping this in mind, SE had to keep the budget in check. That's a reality.
I also read that SE cut content off of FF13 to some degree. I have to wonder what the real reason is.
I also read the the video and audio had to be compressed for the 360 and it's already 3 disc game. You can go see it first hand for "proof" in that regard.

Friday, September 03, 2010 @ 10:52:43 PM
You asserted Max's logic was flawed by stating that disc format is irrelevant, as a game can be spread over multiple DVD's without a problem. Right? I merely offered additional technological evidence to suggest the contrary.
Furthermore, you mention FFX being linear, and fitting on one disc. That is additional evidence of the design choice.
Regarding our previous exchanges, my aim was not to prove or explain anything to you, as you've made it quite clear that you dismiss anything contrary to your opinion as "b*tching" or rambling. My aim was to speak out for the possible onlooker who would be interested in hearing from other sides. Sorry if that offends you.

And i think he's right, not saying any of you guys here, but gamers look to blame the 360 for this game's outcome simply because some(not all) are still bitter the game went multiplat. I stand by the opinion that all the downfalls that FF13 has are SE's fault solely

My "blind faith" was more of a side jab at Shams, not really directed towards you.
Anyways the ball is in your court to prove something, not for me to disprove it. That's how basic scientific methods work.
I don't dispute that SE cut content from FFXIII, the argument is whether or not it was because of the 360 being involved. Also like I mentioned before just because the game is on 1 Blu-ray disk and multiple DVDs does not mean that the game had to completely change from its intended end product.
It makes sense that a game on multiple disks would/could potentially cost more than a game on 1 disk for the developer. That figure is insignificant in the overall scheme of things that it's hardly evidence that the 360s use of DVDs doomed FFXIII.
The audio and video was compressed for the PS3 version as well, though not as much. This doesn't prove anything.
Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk here but the "evidence" you list doesn't hold up at all. You believe that the 360 is the reason FFXIII was a linear game and didn't turn out how you wanted it to be. I don't see that to be true, not based on the information we currently have.

Aside from that, I agree with Max's other doubt, too: Please fully read the comments before replying to them. Besides the cost issue of spreading games across multiple discs, an important technological point regarding data-redundancy was mentioned, too.

I hate how nobody takes claim-makers to task after their predictions fall flat. This information probably surprises the idiots at SE for some reason, and although the proof is right there that jrpg lovers are Playstation owners, they will likely continue to push this sort of nonsense.
Worth it moneywise? Perhaps in the short run, but think how many people are now done with Final Fantasy due to the hackjob they did. I am prepared to throw up my hands upon the multiplat announcement of Versus, simply because it spells the cutting out of as much as a whole extra game in content yet again.

Y'know, I thought the disparity between the two sales figures would be larger. What I find funny is that although Xbots all over the internet were crowing about having FF on theis console, the sales figures are miserable. It's almost as though they don't really want these games... Anyway, I'm really hoping that Versus XIII doesn't go multiplatform. That would be the ultimate betrayal. Well, to be honest, I'd rather see it go multiplatform and release in 2011 than stay exclusive and release after next year. Whatever, this news was expected by me, regardless of what the tools at MS say.

Take a look at exactly how the transition from exclusive to multiplatform FFXIII had and draw your own conclusion.
As much as it sucks it seems like the exact same thing they pulled with XIII and I have very slim hopes of VS. staying an exclusive.

EDIT: But yeah, as LV said, there's lots of types of gamers. I grew up with sports and video games of all genres since I was 5. In fact, my whole life prior to my career consisted of going to school, playing on a sports team, coming home from a game/practice and playing a video game.
I participate in lots of social activities, athletics, arts, and work all week. But my spare time at home on my own typically involves hardcore gaming. Although I prefer the RPG, I play all genres. FPS (not many though), action, adventure, rpg, sports, racing, etc. All of 'em!

That's all I'm saying. You don't see Sony abandoning their fans on putting all their attention on the Move. They just want a piece of that pie. It seems like SE is putting all their effort on trying to appeal too many types of gamers. Imagine Mortal Kombat Barbie, trying to appeal to gamers who love bloody gory fighters and girls who like barbie games. You might get some buyers(sickos, jk) but I don't think Mothers will buy their daughters that game.

I had to force myself to finish this game because it sucked soo bad, Great graphics but everything else was a disgrace to the Final Fantasy name...
Ive read alot of post from here and other places saying people wont buy FFXIII and so on.. and yet over 4 mill copies sold... as long as peaple buy crap only because its got a famous name on it we will continue to get crap from publishers. The last game i Bought, gave my hard erned money for was GoWIII, i get all my games for free but i will pay the full price for quality games that deserve my money.
FFXIII was not one of them neither will FFvXIII be.
S-E dont care about the complaining when they see their crap sell like crazy...Now they know to sell something all they have to do is put a FF tag on it.

I do know one thing though. if i end up getting the game over screen after my main character takes a fall even when i have 2 other healthy medics, even when maxed out, or i am not allowed to be god like after hours of grinding, i will be damn pissed.
i tried playing the game again and when i can be killed by 2 stomps of an adamantoise when my crystalium is maxed, i just gave up on it. and i know that you have to have better equipment but since you cant get gil that easy, but its just a pain. along with the drop rates for tetrahedron and platinum ingot even with catalogs are crazy.

Ben is showing that even with a larger user base and far more marketing for the 360 version the PS3 version of FFXIII outsold the 360 version by a lot. He isn't bashing the existence of multiple consoles or multiplatform games.

"If you honestly don't buy a game, not on its content, but on whether or not it's available on multiple consoles you're a moron. "
Its not just the fact that it is also on the 360....
Its that when companies start caring about the money, the quality goes down hill.
They have made great games, but recently they ahve gone down hill.
I don't not purchase a game just because its exclusive but because I care about the gaming industry.

On the other hand, the PS3 is clearly more fertile territory for them, both in Japan, and in the western markets. The statistics for the sales in the US are particularly impressive for the PS3 as it really does have a significant disadvantage vs the 360 install base in the US. A multi-plat game where the PS3 version outsells the 360 version in the US? That has to be a first.
