Final Fantasy XII did 1,441,000 day one according to Sinobi, while Square-Enix is claiming Final Fantasy XIII did ~1,000,000 day one. It will beat FFXII worldwide, but most PS3 games end up lower than their PS2 counterparts in Japan by 25-35%.

from what I saw, PS3 counterparts sell the same, if not more. Look no further than DMC4 vs DMC3, GTAIV vs GTAIII, MGS4 vs MGS3, RE5 vs RE4

not to mention some of those dispite being multiplatform

 

really no idea where you get the "25%-35%" data there. especially the "most PS3 games" part

*late port

 

...if you'd prefer, we could look at series like Winning Eleven, Mingol or Musou, which have declined 50%+.
