Well, still not comparable with the 3 million copies of FFVII sold in less than 48 hours in Japan in 1997, but close enough.

 

get your facts right, 2.3 million in the first 3 days

You get yours straight, how old were you in 1997 anyway ? 10 or something ? So don't lecture me.

It sold close to 2.8 million in about 48 hours, more than 3.5 million in it's first month of sales in Japan. And sold 1.3 million copies more that year.

Though launch day in the US was in September, the 1 million mark was only reached by the end of the year. 

Europe launch was in mid-November and sales reached  500K.

So the game sold over 6 million copies in 1997 alone, mostly in Japan. And in case you're wondering, there were only about 25 millions Playstationers worlwide at that time.
