| ioi said: It is first shipment and lifetime estimates. FWIW, and we've said this before, 1-1.1m week one for FF XIII is looking about right judging by current preorder rates... and it will be massively frontloaded just like all big PS3 games in Japan so 1.5-1.6m lifetime (exclusing budget releases, international versions) also seems about right. |
If it only does 1-1.1m first week then it is a bomb (in Japan) and will have to somehow make up for that million of lost sales in the West. I guess PS3's low install base will play a bigger role in the game's sales than I thought.
I hope it will crawl to at least 2m. LTD in Japan with various re-releases and inevitable 360 version.
