So Final Fantasy XIII's western launch is less than Bad Company 2's launch?

Bad Company 2 sold over 2.3 million units, please correct OP, OP.

If the OP decides to take this as sold to consumers then I would like the OP to also believe in Square-enix's statement that FF13 is the "fastest selling FF to date int he west" (something he clearly disputed in his last sentence in the OP).

You can't take one company's statement to mean "sold" & the others to mean shipped.

 

It was already established that number is including two weeks, not shipped versus sold.

I'm not discussing worldwide, so don't pretend this makes this moot, especially since I'm not calling FFXIII a flop (most certainly is not).

Well, Japan has a lot to do with FF being a big blockbuster franchise. In Japan alone on PS3 alone, FFXIII sold 1.5 million first week compared to 1.2 million worldwide for Bad Company 2 on a userbase more than 10 times as large.

 That still isn't relevant to this thread.

What are you even trying to argue here? That FF isn't as big in the west as it used to be? We don't have any numbers to support that. So what is the point of this thread?

Exactly

The series will prevail!!
