OVER 1 Million on PS3 this week! http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=7727

OVER 600k on 360 this week! http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=24628

Excellent sales!

Edit: This is what ioi said on the adjustments -

ioi said:
Ok, ok - looks like we massively undertracked FF XIII for some reason - our scalar ratios were way too low. Figures have been adjusted up in light on this data for Americas as well as more info we've had on France, Germany and Spain.

ioi said:
Yeah we were about 15-20% too low across the board it seems. When we chose scalars it is based on the type of game and how they scale from our samples to the whole market - we chose similar scalars to games like Resident Evil, Bayonetta etc but for some reason FF XIII obviously does better at more casual retailers than those titles do hence the adjustments.

Wow. What are the adjustments based upon?

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Good to see growth for a genre that is having massive popularity issues in the west right now. Add in the 360 sales and the growth is phenomenal...
