Why does everyone keep saying it is frontloaded? It is frontloaded in Japan.

Last game in the series, FFXII sold 572k in Americas first week and went on to sell 1.87M and first week of 423k in Others and 1.40M. I don't think FW sales equaling around 30% of that territories LTD is considered as heavily frontloaded.

Unfortunately we don't have breakdowns for FFVII-FFX but I am sure they weren't all 70-80% FW frontloaded beasts. These titles were only that way in Japan. They have legs outside Japan.

 

Check the database.

FF12 also release for Christmas. So it will be more front loaded than FF12. At least for its first few weeks. LT it might have similar legs. Still... not nearly trhe 10 million seller SE was hoping for.
