| ClaudeLv250 said: Slightly under my predictions (1.6m) but still pretty close. Great for a PS3 game, not so much an FF game. With its legs steadily disappearing since last gen, I'm not sure if it'll reach my 2.1m Lifetime prediction. I guess we'll see next week. |
Some quotes from the FFXIII prediciton thread Claude just linked to:
Jarrod:
"Final Fantasy XIII (fw ~1.3m, ltd 2m)"
The Source:
"Final Fantasy XIII FW - 850,000 to 1,150,000 looks realistic... 1.25m to 1.65m LTD"
Darth:
"FINAL FANTASY XIII:
First Week -- 1.5 Million"
Crazily enough, Darth ended up being... right?
Jarrod is a very reasonable poster and The Source obviously makes some incredibly accurate predictions. They're also clearly people who consider all the factors, and think a lot about these things. This shows pretty clearly how FFXIII has performed versus the expectations of those on the site.
It's also worth noting that Famitsu expected 1 million to 1.5 million LIFETIME for FFXIII. The game has just beaten the lifetime expectations of Japan's main market predictor in its first week.
By the way, if anyone is offended by me quoting their posts, let me know and I'll take it down.
