FFVII PS1 9.72M (2M J) FFX PS2 7.95M (1.9M J) FFVIII PS1 7.86M (2.5M J) FFIX PS1 5.30M (2. J) FFX-2 PS2 5.21M (1.5M J) FFXII PS2 5.10M (1.8M J) Now what chances have M$ got of outselling the PS3 version WW when the PS3 will ce much cheaper by then, Japan exclusivity and always + 1.5M first week in Japan! Mathematics says it can't! |
I see a downward trend here regarding FF games ltd sales. So the series peaked with FFVII and it has dropped like a lead weight. FFXIII on PS3 should be lucky to break 5 million copies ltd. X360 version of FFXIII (No Japan sales) will be lucky to reach 3 million sales ltd. So in total FFXIII will sell around 7 to 8 million on PS360.
Japan sells between 1.5m to 2.5m copies ltd of any given FF game - around 30% of total FF game sales are from Japan.
