it is a flop in jpn (wrst selling)

massive success in west like i hve sed before. (one ov th best selling)

I hate how people think this.

FFXIII has been barely out in Japan, there's still greatest hits, re-releases, international versions of FFXIII that's yet to be released, all other Final Fantasy games got big boosts from these re-releases. Just like how recently Resident Evil 5 was re-released and had a huge boost in sales for Japan.

Plus, he isn't taking into account the userbase for the console in Japan at the time of the other games released vs current PS3 userbase in Japan.

At the very least, XIII sold well. People who don't like the game apparently still bought the game because it sold strongly and there will be more games like it, due to those sales. It did expand the FF market over XII, and it did expand the Final Fantasy influence in the west. Overall a hit for Square-Enix, brand name or not.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
