Whoa, hadn't noticed that.  It's...quite a drop.  Will it become the worst-selling mainline Final Fantasy since the SNES era?



Wait wait wait wait.

Wait.

....Did we overtrack FFXIII according to NPD numbers?



Good sales all around

I know. One month: 828.2k (PS3), 493.9k (Xbox 360)

Following month.... none of the versions even managed to reach 100k during the whole month. That's quite bizarre.

gaf is saying 126k for MH3

Do they acknowledge whether or not separate SKUs or whatever are listed?

I mean, is the CC Pro bundle separate from the standalone title, or is stuff all combined?

It's all SKUs combined. Guitar Hero and the like were also always listed combined by NPD, so there's no reason to assume otherwise for Monster Hunter Tri.

Ok. 126k by May 2nd - VGC is pretty much spot on then in comparison.

Phew, so the title wasn't a failure haha good thing to be sure of.

6 Million combined were their expectations. It is currently around 5 combined.  2 million in Japan was their expectations, and it is currenlty at 1.91 Million.

People will say their expectations was to outsell FF7 which was not true. it was a hope. (beings that's their highest selling game of all time), they thought they created something that had a chance at outselling seven, but obviously it won't do that.

Now it still has a fairly good chance of selling 6mil. As well as, I don't know if their going to do re-releases of FFXIII international in japan which usually gets them .5 mill.

So It's likely to perform at the lower end of their expectations. Rather than the high (FF7 sales +) :D

Edit:
I was wrong, the expectation was ship 6 million not sell which obviously increases the chances even more of it achieving expectations
