Letter to Yoichi Wada, President of Square Enix Co., Ltd

I was referring to when the console release happens. Word of mouth, early reviews, beta impressions along with the fact that many PC titles not doing so hot in comparison to their console version it's a surprise the PC version sold the 600K+ copies it did world wide. - and it probably did on the brand name alone.

This. I doubt any other MMO would have been able to sell that much given the poor beta phase and the terrible reviews it got.

Doubt it was only on name brand alone, sure there are many FF fans that got the game because it was FF, but a MMORPG is a different beast, take XI for example at its peak it had 500-600k players, and FFVII alone sold 10million, hell even FFXIII sold 6-8millions, yet both MMORPGS of the FF franchise, have never even sold 1million, let alone hold more than half that number in subs(And thats XI)

I felt this thread needed a bump.
