The best thing you can do right now is compare each version of FFXIII to other games that were selling at a similar rate & see where those games LTD ended up. That will give you an accurate forecast of where each version of FF13 (PS3 or 360) will end up in total sales in Europe. In order to get 2.7 Million you would want the PS3 version to hit 1.7 Million & xbox to get to 1 Million. Or the ratio can be different.

we cnt the site dusnt hve data for ff7 or ff10 weekly sales. im nt sure wht u mean by compring it to title with expcted ltd for ps3  xbox versins?

Seriously why are you typing in this way? Are you posting from your phone or is your keyboard broke?

What I mean is compare FF13 to games that have done 1.8 Million on PS3 in Europe & games that have done around 900K on xbox 360. I'll show you an example:

FFXIII (PS3) compared with Metal Gear Solid 4 (to see if it can get to 1.9 Million LTD)

At a glance it tracks underneath Metal gear Solid 4 (its been almost 2 years since that games release)

Looking at a weekly comparison between them:

Its not doing as well for most of the weeks.

What this indicates is that its unlikely FF13 on PS3 will get to 1.8 Million by 2 years of its launch, it could get there by 3 or 4 years of its launch though.

FFXIII (Xbox 360) compared to Fallout 3 (PS3 version) which did 980K in Europe

At a glance its outselling it clearly.

Looking at the weekly comparison between them:

FFXIII (xbox 360) struggles, but only because Fallout 3 was out in the holidays, after the holidays Fallout 3 went below 10K, so we will need a few more weeks to see if it can get to that mark.

Conclusion - Its entirely possible, but won't be easy.
