When all is said and done, I wouldn't be surprised at all if NSMB ended up passing the original. It's already 2/3 of the way there and the DS has a lot of life left in it. A few holidays and a price drop should make it possible.
Remember, the game came out barely more than a year ago. That's incredible.

Eddz's are nicer but they're old and have less information. I'm just going to do a PSD file in Eddz style with Moku's information and then that way when someone wants an update we won't have any trouble font matching.

But he doesn't make a secret of that - and he's apologized many times for it. At least we have some kind of comparison to make, whether it's accurate or not. These charts are more fun than anything and shouldn't be taken with as much scrutiny as typical sales threads.
I'm sure if we had better numbers to compare to that Moku would use them. I actually prefer his chart.

I think the Wii is probably going to get DQX and maybe Kingdom Hearts 3, that much is becoming more clear ... but I also think FF: CC will become its own franchise more and more like the main "FF" games anyway.
It already sounds like it, with FF:CC on the Wii apparently being more story/single player driven. And a lot of the FF9 is supposedly working on FF: CC.

i kid...
The chances of FF14 being on Wii is almost certain at this point, FF13 on the PS3 will probably cause a gundabump on a larger scale at this point, chances are high that it'll be the worse selling main series FF game ever.
Like the gamecube before it, 2 games will not save a system, especially when it costs $600.
At this point, its not if, but when the main FF series comes to the Wii.

I dunno even know if the future there will be one "main" FF series anymore. It sounds like they're going to set several games in the FF13 world, and then you have FF: CC, which quite frankly sounds like it could also be a numbered FF too if Square-Enix wanted it to be.
It's not like Nintendo really even needs the main FF games at this point. They do more than just fine in Japan without it. FF7 Remake on the Wii would probably be big, but I guess that's more significant from a symbolic P.O.V. since that was "the one that got away" from Nintendo.
I'm not sure if FF14 will even happen this gen, it may be moved into the next-next-gen and they just make games set in the FF13 universe and FF:CC/remakes for this gen.

yeah, when kitase says "hey, let´s sell 500k copies of FF14 on PS3 instead of 3 million" then SE will do so.
Um, no.

When is an FFXXIII game coming to the Wii. I know it's coming but SE is such a tight ass bitch regarding new media and announcements, especially at that SE party.
Heh I was just kidding. Media Create or Famitsu would have been better but the general idea is the same nonetheless like you saidForgotten Ancient said:
I'd loved to see more charts like these in general btw. Would be fun to compare Dragon Quest main titles to DQ IX or something like this (or FF, or Mario Kart, or Zelda, or...).Are you living in a different Netherlands than me?shaft said:
P 23:14 when you made that post)I think most mean that Square-Enix is the one that needs FF to be on Nintendo platforms, or there biggest series will take quite a beating in the near future.soundwave05 said:
Well, if it sells in higher numbers than the one on GameCube, I wouldn't doubt it, they know at that point that the game is appreciated in its own right and the more action-oriented direction seperates it enough from FF to make dropping the name valid.Saitou said:
Besides, subtitles on subtitles is a bit much. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers? Doesn't quite roll of the tongue, does it?
I have to wonder whether everyone talking about how the Wii's going to get mainline FF's etc. has completely forgotten about the recent SE party thread. Square, at least, has shown that it is perfectly willing to create new games for "dead" systems (a la PSP in Japan) even though they can provably make more money on systems like the DS. Don't get your hopes up, though to be honest I'd prefer Mistwalker support to Square (and we know that's not going to happen).

Going back to the Mario charts. I think it's incredible that SMB is still, after all these years, the best selling game of all time. Over 40 million according to Wikipedia: Linkie. (And Wikipedia had those numbers long before ioi stole them so don't accuse me of using bad numbers.) And in over twenty years, no other game has even come close to matching its numbers. And honestly, I don't think any game ever will.

Incorrect. In the heat of their NA/EU launch shortage pains in late 2000, Famitsu has this for PS2's extreme lows:Dragona Akehi said:
2000-11-20: 8,136

Very different circumstances, of course.
For what it's worth, I think that second week is the only time PS1 (6,820) outsold PS2.

Eh, PSP got ports of a not so powerful franchise and a questionable brawler and the DS still got all the good stuff, including new IPs and a mainline FF sequel.

Um, yes. That's basically been the case with all his games. It doesn't matter if it's common ****ing logic that it'll sell way better on Wii/DS, Kitase doesn't want ANYTHING touching Nintendo systems. A FFVII remake, Agito, and Dissidia would unarguably sell so much better on the DS, maybe even millions... yet Dissidia is on the PSP, Agito is on CELL PHONES, and instead of moving on with a FFVII remake for the DS (which would not only make sense, but would sell crazy too), SE decides to remake IV, which can already be played on the system. :|
So... in short, no, even if it would clearly sell better, whatever Kitase says goes, and I can sure as hell tell you now he won't have any of his property gracing a Ninty system.

Well PSP sells like 3x better than the PS3 as well.
SE's business model in the past used to be make gangbusting monies on high profile, high budget games and use that monies to fuel low profile, low budget, extremely awesome games (I'm thinking about profiles, allright).Sharp said:
I fully expect them to invert that model from now on, making money on new sightseeing games (did I just call them games? O Lord, I am far gone) to fuel their high profile, high budget, money sinkhole games.

Mainline FF sequel? You mean FFXII:RW? Not quite, chibi. The PSP is getting Crisis Core, which is arguably closer to one. And sure, the PSP is getting a lot of ports, but the DS is mostly getting ports as well.chibcicylist said:
Enix properties are a different matter, mind. Between Star Ocean and Dragon Quest they seem to be going entirely for sales. But I see no evidence that Square is going to shift all their FF stuff over to Wii and DS. Hell, at this point there's more of an argument for cell phones' getting it all.
