EXCELLENT FF13 sales.....beat FF12's week 1 by a lot & probably FF10's week 1 too (since FF10 did below 1 million in its first NPD). Seriously get a reality check if you think these numbers are disappointing.

Hardware is very good...but he PS3 could have done so much more if it wasn't for the low supply!

I don't think vgc believe they were entirely wrong about February. At least, I don't think they were.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

To see it sell nearly half of what BC2 sold on 360 is very shocking to me. Yes one is a fps game and the other a RPG. But so is Dragon Age and that almost matched those sales. Mass Effect 2 nearly doubled those sales in its 1st week. So if we roll back 6 months with all the hype, all the threads on here, the E3 announcement etc etc would people have expected it to sell just 400k on its 1st week? Can you call as series AAA with those kind of sales? Because if you do means your have to start calling a lot more games AAA if 400k is the boundry. Another thing is what happens if we roll forwards a week when we see GOW3's numbers posted and they are similar to this FFXIII effect for both hardware and sales? PS3 went up around 15k on last week with FFXIII release. Will GOW3 really push hardware up further then that? One thing is for sure, this week is PS3's big week. Beyond that they don't have the strength in line up of titles to match this weeks again this year. Unless GT5 comes out this year, which it most likely won't in my opinion. Any other week and i would say those were great numbers. But this was the first FF game of this gen, so much hype for it over the years. To be happy with just 400k is just weird to me. |
lol wut this is only US sales and you have totally ignored the 360 version. I think the 1.9 million in Japan alone makes this AAA
USA does not equal the world
p.s GT5 is definately going to be released this year

| aragod said: FFXIII sales are disappointing for me, I thought that both versions would do atleast 1 mil in NA, 650k is rather poor considering FF is the largest and most hyped JRPG franchise and this is it's first title on HD consoles. I guess the critical response hit FFXIII quiete hard, also FF is getting released between few huge titles which may affect it's sales, as these other games had generaly more favoreable reviews. |
You do know that not even the ultra hyped FFVII or FFVIII did those kind of numbers right, and FFVIII was coming after the highest selling title in the franchise's history. Even with a lower score this game is outselling the both, so I don't see how these sales are disappointing.
In Japan one could make the argument, but in US+EU the game doesn't sell 60-70% of it's sales in the first week. It has better legs in the West than it does in Japan. Check the games database and look at FFXII sales. Or check FFVII first week sales to see that it only did half of what FFXIII just did.
Then look at where both titles ended up in those territories.
Look at Japan and you will see that sales patterns mimic the sales pattern for FFXIII.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
Currently playing:
Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

leave it people will just ignore you 
If it doesn't do Halo/COD/GTA sales week 1....its disappointing.
PS3 > Wii this week if the Wii has a sub 100k week (like last week) and PS3 gets an equal boost in others.
And again next week.
Wii others will probably be a little down/flat, and the margin by which Wii is up in Japan should continually reduce without releases, so being down ~50K for the week is likely.

Good numbers overall. I'm curious to see FFXIII legs on both HD systems though.
