A lot, but it will make them back, because I think it can sell 10m across all the consoles, this game has been a long time coming, though interestingly, in Europe, we have been waiting for GoW III as long as Final Fantasy XIII

FF XII was one of the most expensive games of last gen, so this one will be even more expensive, especially as they created a new engine for it, which they will be re-using for Versus I think

lol dont bet on that...FFXIII will NOT sell 10mil across all consoles..it probably wont pass 2mil on 360..and on PS3 it will do average FF numbers in line with previous installments( like 5-6mil )

The wait builds anticipation, I think 7m on PS3 and 3m on 360.

Notice how sales tend to decrease through the gen

Pos	Game	Console	Sales	Release Date
1		Final Fantasy VII		9.72m	03rd Sep 97
2		Final Fantasy VIII		7.86m	07th Sep 99
3		Final Fantasy IX		5.30m	13th Nov 00

Pos	Game	Console	Sales	Release Date
1		Final Fantasy X		7.95m	17th Dec 01
2		Final Fantasy XII		5.68m	31st Oct 06
3		Final Fantasy X-2		5.21m	18th Nov 03

So ignoring the spin off, X-2, sales have decreased through the generation. So expect higher sales than XII on PS3 alone. The game is going to sell great as they are doing a great job of hyping the game, and I am sure they are going to market the hell out of it. Oh, and the game is going to be fantastic

well should of adressed this better....FF still sells loong after thay are taken off shelf, i was more talkin about the where the sells will be once they leave shelf space.like FF7 wasnt at 9mill when it stoped being printed. I expect to hit 10mil eventually like the rest, but during its print run...hope that made sense
