What a sad day when a Final Fantasy game reaches 2 million, but not quite 2.5. Outselling 99.8% of the other games, but not 100%.Amir0x said:

It wont happen. I bet a 3 month banning on my account.
No offense to anyone, but everytime I hear someone gloat over FFXII's 1337ness, it makes me less inclined to try the game. I don't believe for a second that it's leagues and leagues beyond an already strong genre. Best RPG? Fine. Best game ever? Err...
But anyway. I'll probably try it anyway.

Holy crap at AC yet again. It's sold 313,000 from Feb 27 - March 26. Staggering, and it would probably have sold a bit more if the DSL numbers weren't so knackered.

CVX, Phoenix Wright is the best game ever

That's what happened with FFX-2, which I still have to beat. =P But I think the emotional dedication to FFXII to the point where not selling 2.5 Million isn't for whatever reason a good thing is kind of offputting. I think it's less of a crime than RE4 not selling 2 Million in Japan between the two versions, but that's the fanboy in me talking. :lol

I hear it is no Oblivion, but a good RPG in its own right.
Cheebs said:Nope. You said you would leave. Don't take it back. If you make me I will go find the old post.
:lol
Anyway it was a month, Bebpo's off the hook ;p
"If FFXII doesn't outsell the best selling DS game of all time in Japan (it's Animal Crossing at a little under 2 million right?) in its first month I will leave GAF for a month and hang my head in shame that Japanese gamers just plain out suck. But I think I will win this bet
EDIT: arg I was beaten! Anyway it looks like he will lose the bet. I expect some insane fun to come one month after the day of FFXII's release regarding Bebpo.
Who wants to hear what our old buddy Bebpo said? :lol

Please, less then a year ago you couldn't put Tamagotchi on that list. Tamagotchi if anything is a sign that it is possible.

Looks like Valkyrie Profile is nearing the end of its run...
Mrbob said:
I find it funny how the PSP got both the sequel and Geki Sengoku Musou before the DS gets it's promised iteration announced a long time ago. :lol
I think the low sales on PS2 and 360, coupled with the PSP bombas tell Koei that they need to rethink their strategy of getting these games out on the market at such alarming rates. DW5 got it's first expansion only last September. And hell, the 360 game came out last December so this is the quickest upgrade for it. :lol
Archie said:If he loses he should just buy a copy of Animal Crossing and play it. That'd be punishment enough.
I did buy it just so I could see what the competition is all about!

I heard you can see the 16 miles of Oblivion as a little dot from the throne that FFXII sits upon

That's the point, that's the core of the problem (well, for Nintendo is not a problem at all): Nintendo DS's have not only legs, but stilts !!!!
Animal Crossing will sure break the 3 millions mark and that's something more then incredible, more then amazing, it is insane !!!

Just for fun, what'll you do if both BTs break 3 million, and ACWW breaks 4 million?
great animal crossing ww sales!
it's become one of my all time, favourite games, i love it. it's heartening to know so many people are enjoying what is a truly brilliant game.
pokémon ranger has sold well, should manage ~500k. another game i'm looking forward to. i wonder if we'll see it before the end of the year? i'm hoping pokémon mysterious dungeon is released in the summer and ranger sees a nov-ish release.
i agree with what has already been said, dynasty warriors sales are becoming a problem for koei. however, it is to be expected from a game that has seen an update virtually every year.
i'm surprised so many expected ffxii to sell better. i think it has a core audience who will buy the game no matter what, but previous instalments of the franchise have disappointed many, so i think the high 2 million and 3 million+ sales are over.
also great ds sales, if the unofficial figures are true.
