FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 Announced. It's a Failure if Cannot Hit 2.7 Million Worldwide
FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 has been announced.
Scheduled for 2011 on PS3 and Xbox 360.
When would it launch?
The end of 2011 I suppose.
How about this FF13-2?
That's fine?
Be serious please...
Nowadays, when you develop a game you won't end up with only 1 issue, but use the same program to create sequel so as to earn money and recover the cost. FF13 used too much money so there should be a 2.
Huh.
There is 1 thing certain though.
And that is?
It's a failure if it can't hit 2.7 million worldwide.
Oh...
What is your reason?
FINAL FANTASY X is an example.
We've got a X-2 huh.
FF10's worldwide sales was 8 million and 10-2 was 3.6 million, 45% of 10. FF13's worldwide sales was 6 million, 45% is 2.7 million and that should be the target.
I see.
But this figure is not fair.
Why?
Consider Japan only, 10 sold 2.35 million and 10-2 sold 2 million, that's 85%. So in Japan, FF13 sold 1.9 million and 13-2's target should be 1.6 million in Japan.
Quite a difference huh.
Well, the gameplay of 10-2 is special, so it may not be suitable to compare them. Anyway, if 13-2 do better, this means 13 is accepted by gamers. If not, 13 itself is a failure. Or that would be a result of the failure of FF14, the collapse of FINAL FANTASY brand, and people hate SQUARE ENIX itself.
How would be the result?
Who knows.
