you know it\'s funny Watchdog.

You bash whenever you can on rare occaisions like this since your XBOX is taking most of the damage. It seems like once every month theres an XBOX joke and the joke is XBOX sales.

I\'m not sure I understand this?  You have a dangling participle here.  I don\'t bash anything.  If I have a problem with a game once in a while, I speak my mind.  Bashing is a constant barrage of something for no good reason regardless of merit.

That means that FFXI just needs to make 146,335 between now and From how long it took PSO to get to that figure (8 or 9 months wasn\'t it ?). - ooseven


Ok.. I don\'t see how you can really make the compairison for a number of reasons.

1. Phantasy Star isn\'t nearly as huge as the FF series over in Japan.

2. The Dreamcast wasn\'t NEARLY as huge as the PS2 over there.

3. Points 1 & 2 combined.. think about it for a second.

4. Phantasy Star didn\'t require the use of a HDD or Broadband which are sold seperately.

I say, wait until PSO is released on the GameCube.. or god forbid the PS2 if rumors are true... and then judge each game against the other. At least then they\'ll be on much more even ground.

Whatever, this game will not sell over 300,000. That is my original claim and I am sticking to it. Maybe not over 200,000.

Oh Vivi, I just made sense of your post (I read it quickly before I had to go to work)--when did I bash FF?  I\'m merely pointing out the contradiction in people\'s thinking and reactions.

And it\'s not "my xbox", unless of course it\'s "my ps2" also.

I don\'t care how well FF sells, and I don\'t care how well xbox sells.  It\'s people like you who dedicate their lives and the quality of it based on which multi-million dollar company has the highest sales and how said company\'s games are.

I\'m in it for the games.  For you brand loyalty is a necessity because you can\'t afford multiple consoles (at least I hope that\'s the reason), I have a full time job with a nice salary and the $300 I spent on my xbox/PS2 means absolutely nothing to me.  I almost make that in a day.

So even if the xbox goes under tomorrow, I really wouldn\'t care at all aside from the fact that it\'d be a shame because it\'s a great piece of hardware.

And you\'re making that prediction based only on some early two week Japanese sales?  Kinda premature, don\'t you think?

Once it\'s released in the US, if it still sells like it is, then I think you can claim that.

I think Sega did a great job with PSO, connecting all users, worldwide, free access for v1, communication between foreign languages, and 56K access.

Even though they charged $5 for v2, its no big deal, considering you can bring as many characters online, as you want.

And don\'t let the fee scare you. It may say $5 a month but because of the exchange rates, I locked in for 3 months and my bill only came out to $9.12. Thats $3.04 a month. If you can\'t afford that, you shouldn\'t be in this hobby.

$10 per character for FF XI??? I think Square shot themselves in the foot.

No biggie for them. All they have to do is release a traditional FF and make it all back and more.

Even if they took the worst of the series and updated the graphics.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

$10 per month, .75 per character, .75 for Tetramaster (thats the card game, completely seperate from FFXI, not required for anything related to the game).  Not $10 per character. :rolleyes: That would be insane.

About "FFXI" which attracted attention as first software only for networks in PS2 on the other hand last week, since re-shipment was not performed, the number has been greatly dropped with estimated 7,529 (total 84,000 book). Although it was just going to divide the view and having considered the past series actual result it became the software only for on-line how a present stage estimates the above-mentioned number, probably, its impression which has made little increase will be strong.


Thats from dengenki,
with that I think the topic should be closed, its pointless now

How do you expect to sell more when there is no more to sale?  

Reminds me of the PS2 launch in US.

Hot product, very little to sell.

They shipped 120,000. They sold 83,000. Please tell me that is selling out to you. it will give me more reason to insult you.
