We'll just have to wait for FFXIII to come out to see if Final Fantasy sales are going down, sales should be much higher then FFXII, like I predicted 1.6 - 1.9 million first week should be garunteed. It should be close to cracking 3 million LTD in Japan. |
You are setting yourself for quiet a dissapointment. Only two Final Fantasy games have ever cracked 3 millions in Japan and the last one was released 10 years ago on a userbase 4 times higher than PS3 will have by the time XIII launches. Add to this that console core gaming is in a decline in Japan with almost every major core franchise released this gen seeing lower sales compared to PSone-N64-PS2 installments.
My prediction is 2.1-2.2m LTD. But to make it sell that much SE and Sony will have to do quiet a job with its advertising.
Edit: a lot of people here think that FFX has sold 3 millions in Japan because vgchartz combines numbers of all its re-releases. Here is how it really was: http://garaph.info/softwaregroup.php?groupid=144
