will FFXIV 2.0 beat FFXIII-2 ?

PS3 will certainly see some success. Many people have waited for the PS3 release. Some who got sick of waiting did get the PC version though because they didn't want to get too far behind. Perhaps those people will end up with both versions. There is something to be said about playing games on your 50" TV.

i know that is why i play on my laptop with a HD cable yay. (although my first laptop didn't like FF14 as much as i did, and i had to upgrade, that cost a pretty penny for one game lol)

2 different genre, if it beats xiv to anything it would be releasing a ps3 version

I dont see PS3 being the holy grail, it will bring a few and a few will drop over, but its not going to be the big deal breaker, it just isnt the right situation or has the correct conditions to do so. Take DC Univerise, its PC version outsells and overpopulated its PS3 version.

Requirements on PC are not as extreme on DC Universe. A fair amount of people don't play FFXIV simply because they lack the PC to run it.

People who already bought FFXIV, will get a Free Downloadable copy of FFXIV 2.0. which means 500k of the people who bought it.. won't have to pay for the game again, only players that havent bought FFXIV in general will have to buy 2.0.. and most of the people are waiting for PS3 release ( i'll be getting PS3 version of this game). So really.. honestly.. Sales won't play a part in the Total Population of the game, since most people that are interested in the game, have already bought it already. (E3 presentation, may spark some interest to new players, and we could see a influx of new players upon 2.0 =))

A console franchise's popularity in a nation with an overwhelming majority of console players being directly compared to a comic franchise-based game of a genre commonly thought as exclusive to PC platform in the West?

Well, all I can say: what an accurate comparison you've got there sir.

That is not a good excuse lol the requires for this game are not bad, the game just isnt optimized well at all, I can run it completely fine on my 5470 laptop which is very low, a $50 desktop card is better lol. Not to mention DC Universe is Free, likely has a bigger audience, has had no major fails like XIV did have, it has more content and with all that its not sitting high on either platforms.

It has a chance in doing so is SE advertises it well enough. However, if SE's marketing strategy includes just releasing that E3 trailer, putting out no commercials or other sources of ads, I expect XIV to flop horribly.

FF13-2 was advertised out of the ass and still only hit 1/3rd of its original sales. If we factor that to XIV that makes v2 hitting roughly 200k sales. Little short of 500k that x-2 did (and did just in Japan, where as v2 be world wide)

But someone already mentioned this, it doesnt matter, everyone here is getting it free only sales will be ps3 version and new players, which is not going to be 500k-1m.
