i think its a dissapointment but not a major flop. JRPGs are falling in popularity over here in the west but its clear that people still associate the series with the playstation name. The game didn't do that amazingly on the ps3 ps3 stateside 800k(good but not amazing). God of War did better despite a much smaller advertising campain,less recognisable name and 1 less week on sale.
I think the most important thing about this is that it shows that square failed to sell this game to a wider audience beyond the FF core fanbase , hence the poor sales on the 360. I think versus XIII will do better considering its going in a darker, more action orientated direction. I think it will appeal to a lot of core gamers who arn't in the FF series, and if the adverts look as sick as the teaser trailers im sure it will appeal to an even larger audience.
