Famitsu says they're aiming for 2 mil (LTD).

So... they only expect to sell 200K more after a 1.8M initial shipment...

That... also doesn't sound right.

It better sell at least 2 million...

come on man, there's 4 million ps3 out there.

Which would be fine if FF13 development didn't start before the PS3 was released.

I'm comparing FF13 to other games in it's genre and to the expected ROI it had when it first started development.

Considering all the delays, how expensive it was in the first place and the advertising... and FF games in general...

anything less then 2 mil likely would be seen as a disapointment and a step backwords to other FF games.

Who makes up these rules,

1.8 million is an insane amount considering the userbase, the game will be release in two platform outside of japan anyway, I wouldnt worry about SE, they are cashing in big time as we speak.
