damn how much FF 13 will sell! 1 million first week confirmed ;)

just to add salt to the wound.

 

How is that salt in the wound?

If anything 1 million first week for FFXIII would be a major disapointment. Anything much below 2 million will be actually. All FFs since VII sold 2 million or more first week in Japan.

 

thanks for proving my point, damm poor ps3, since everything willl be a disappointment for other console others (read not ps3 owners).

 

No, 1 million first week for will be a dissapointment for the Final Fantasy series. What every other fanboy thinks about it is completely irrelevant. I'm pretty sure SE doesn't invest more money in a title to sell less...

BengaBenga, actually NO.
Final Fantasy X - 1,9 mln.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 1,5 mln.
Final Fantasy XII - 1,8 mln.

SO, realistically speaking FFXIII will do 1,5-2 mln. in Japan. Over 2 mln. first week has very slim chances(depends on PS3 price).

Yes, you're right. Although X-2 is more or less a spin-off, but I think we can agree on the basis of these numbers that XIII should do above 1.5 million in order for it to be a success (Something I think is definitely possible btw).

I predict over 322k for first week sales. With 2nd and possibly the 3rd week over taking 1st week sales(slim chance but possible). LTD of 700k-1m for japan and a possible 1.6-2m WW.(depending on release date and commerical used)

For WKC? Out of the question. 322k lifetime if they're lucky. Sales don't double over first day, definitely not for RPGs. Usually about 70% of first week sales is sold day 1, and first week sales are usually around 60% of lifetime sales for RPGs in Japan.
