    Well the fact that FF13-2 has something might be the explanation behind the increase in pre-orders. Either way it will sure be interesting to compare the sales to FF13.

    Those are some promising stats. I'm surprised still, because I know there are a lot of people who didn't recommend XIII to their friends and would not even give XIII-2 a look because they disliked the first one so much. Though VeloZer0's theory could be right there.

    It's funny how D3 is up there without even a release date.

    Some games manage to meet their expectations. GTA IV, FFVII, MGS4, God of War 3, etc. Although I don't know what people are expecting, because details are still scarce.

    Some people are expecting it to simultaneously save the franchise while making up for a decade of lackluster releases.

    I can't say for sure because I haven't played it, but I remain skeptical that these expectations are live-up-to-able.

    I didn't really follow games that heavily at the time, but didn't VII also have a lengthy development cycle and the weight of FFVI on its shoulders? It turned out alright. Anyway, I also hope that Versus XIII is awesome (and not necessarily the best game, or even FF, ever made) and, given the amount of work been done on it, I think it should meet that.

    I don't understand why XIII-2 is selling so badly in Japan though. Didn't it get a 40/40 from Famitsu.

    You mean the weight of FFIV not FFVI because FFVI wasn't Japan's fan favorite or peak of FF or anything like that. FFVII did have a long cycle but that because it did have a completely original assets and engine while the older may recycle a lot of stuff.
