26K 1st day puts it right about in like with Chocobo Dungeon i think. Which sold something like 100K lifetime.

I'd guess they expected more. A Final Fantasy spinoff should do like 500K at least.

I mean Dirge of the Cerberus i think sold almost a million.

Dirge of Cerberus was on a console that actually did great at moving Final Fantasy games.

The PS2 also did a much better job at moving 3rd party software as well. Still sometimes does.

Yeah, but still.  Dirge of Cerberus is horrible.

Dragon Quest Swords sold 500K...

Sure Dragon Quest is more popular then Final Fantasy...

But Dragon Quest swords was also a spinoff of a spinoff... and it's genre is much less popular then CC.

They had to have been expecting Swords numbers i would have to think. 

 

 

Well FF on the Gamecube sold a million with a far smaller userbase. Maybe they were hoping for those numbers and better.

I doubt Square Enix is happy with only 500K. FF is thier bread and butter.
