Please be advised, Masseffect7, that you should not base any claims on information you may be incorrect on. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation sold 700,000 copies in its recorded history, and Assault Horizon sold over 1 million copies. The PS2 games sold very well in relation, but all of these games have sold equally as well. Please don't claim that the gameplay of the PS2 games is preferred just because they sold and the new games including such mechanics didn't; that's a blatant lie. Remember that only some of those AH sales are on the 360; ALL of 6's sales were on that, because where the hell else would they be? I feel the figures would be a bit closer if you were simply looking at AH's 360 releases.

Although this doesn't mean that you're not right, AH could very well have sold better on 360 alone, but still. Terrible business decisions should be accounted for sometimes. If 6 were multiplatform, I feel it'd get a somewhat larger following closer to AH's size. Of course, ANY game on multiple platforms will have a higher chance to get more sales, since it's a wider audience.

I'm not saying 6 sold more than AH. I'm simply saying that 6 might be a bit closer than you think, and could have been the same had it been multiplatform.

I just spouted nonsense more than likely, huh.
