Am I wrong in thinking Final Fantasy XIII sales are good?

thts whtt I was saying to expctation & dev cost it is a flop in jpn bt no1 ws listening to me,

A flop is typically judged by Revenue - Development Cost - Marketing cost, and I highly doubt that selling near to 2 million in Japan resulted in a flop. Is it the worse selling mainline Final Fantasy in Japan (maybe so), however it did not flop....

ff13 cudnt hve made bck dev & marketng costs from 1.8 million sold in jpn so we cn call it a flop there.

Who the F cares if it makes the money back just in Japan or not?  That's why the game is released WORLDWIDE.  The idea is to make a profit from the TOTAL sales, not sales from one region.
