CGI-Quality said: When I said this would be the biggest JRPG releases in a long time, I was laughed at. Looks like this may go down as one of the biggest releases for the entire gen in Japan. |
There were 2 RPGs released just this year that had higher openings. I can think of 3 total this gen off the top of my head. All are on the DS mind you. If this was in the context of home console only then you have a point. In the grander scheme of all jRPGs though it was not close to the biggest in a long time. It is a very big opening though. I would be speechless if this game didn't stick in the top 10 for opening weeks in Japan.
Edit: Oops I am slighly wrong. One of the jRPGs I was thinking of did slightly less (1.44 million) in the opening week. That puts FFXIII as probably a lock for top 5 jRPG openings this gen in Japan only.
