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.

PS2 also had much better 3rd party support. Publishers are reaping what they sow, they should've been building their own fanbases on the marketleader years ago (like they did for PS2), not now. They've made their bed, now they have to lie in it.
Dirge of Cerebrus sold around 500k btw. Which is less than SE's top selling Wii game (DQ Swords).
|
Well according to this site, Dirge of Cerberus sold 0.96 million and Others is not included.
The only thing I can confirm though, its an awful game and anyone who purchased it deserves our sympathy.

500k Japan. This thread's on Japanese sales. FFCC sold 350k Japan.
DQ Swords actually outsold all the PS2 DQ spinoffs though (Swords = 600k, Torneko 3 = 500k, FF&DQ Itadaki Street = 350k, Shonen Yangus = 300k). I wonder if DQX outsells DQVIII as well.

Kinda a confusing thing. I always thought there was plenty of overlap when it came to DQ and FF fans in japan. Who knows. Maybe it just got blocked out being too damn close to the actual regular FF that it got no attention.
