Whoa at FFXIII, what were SE's expectations for the game |
6 Million combined were their expectations. It is currently around 5 combined. 2 million in Japan was their expectations, and it is currenlty at 1.91 Million.
People will say their expectations was to outsell FF7 which was not true. it was a hope. (beings that's their highest selling game of all time), they thought they created something that had a chance at outselling seven, but obviously it won't do that.
Now it still has a fairly good chance of selling 6mil. As well as, I don't know if their going to do re-releases of FFXIII international in japan which usually gets them .5 mill.
So It's likely to perform at the lower end of their expectations. Rather than the high (FF7 sales +) :D
Edit:
I was wrong, the expectation was ship 6 million not sell which obviously increases the chances even more of it achieving expectations

"One of the biggest profit drivers, of course, will be Square Enix's highly anticipated release of Final Fantasy XIII. As part of the interview, Wada said that he expects the game to ship more than 6 million units worldwide"

ff13 will do 6 million easily. so it wll outperfrm expctations.
I thnk ff versus 13 will do 5 million atleast, so combind ff13 will be 11 million.

Akiba, I loved the game so we don't have to argue about that. :D
I haven't looked at charts here that long so I don't notice trends and how many hundreds of thousands more you'll get when you get to a certain points. Also, all of the Western data is blacked out for all FF's except FFXIII and CC. I think so I can't really observe past trends.
And their expectations was 6 million for FFXIII, only. (though I think you're understanding that.)
Because that's like saying FFVII sold 15 million because of FFVII, CC, Dirge, (Hell you can count movies + 15 more million :P), or FFX and FFX-2 = 13 million.
