@Laoldar, I just mean the attention isn't there so much by that point (compared to when the first FF game of the console came out). When FFIX came out, the PS2 could easily play it as well...but less people want to play a last gen game when the Xbox 360 was already out for a year...games like Gears of War were coming out the same time as FFXII in the US. My argument is that FFXII had less mindshare than FFX due to the mindshare of PS2 games at their respective points in time...not because FFXII was an inferior game.
