FF13 tracking almost identicle but showing possibly better legs than FF X-2 in Japan. FF X-2 went on to sell 2.4+ Million LTD, id say thats pretty good considering early famistu LT estimates and predictions.

you do know that 2.4 mil is after the best version and international version releases, right? FFX-2 ended with 1,960,937 (based on Famitsu numbers) before those re-releases and it's likely where FFXIII would end up.

Im well aware. I dont remember famitsu or predictions clarifying international and best of releases would not count toward the game.

Sales are sales.

The reason they're usually separated is that they require added content and (usually) remarketing. There are notable added expenses, so just lumping them in as added sales isn't exactly fair.

FFXIII still did better than most were expecting, though. Combined with the underwhelming Tales of Graces sales (I consider Tales of to be a very FF-centric franchise), I think it's reasonable to say that the FF fanbase has moved on to the PS3 nearly wholesale.
