Good is a relative term.  Now in general, FF13 did do well.  5.55 mil copies is good for any game.  However, when comparing it to previous installments in the (main) series and the circumstances that surround them, it doesn't seem so big. FF13 was expected by SE to sell 10 mil just like FF7. 

no they expcted 6 million shipped (whch they will get easily)

they sed it at financial briefing 5 mnths ago.

and wrldwide it will look bad in comparison to ff10/8 because of jpn, thts my whole reaosning for why th game "flopped" in jpn because jpn is responsible for it looking weak worldwide whn western sales r very strong.

And I dnt knw wht circumstances, 83 metacritic, bad marketing (leona lewis), ff13 ddnt hve gud circumstnces at launch.

I guess that was the realistic prediction.  But, I could swear around or before that time someone from SE was saying it would sell as well, if not better than FF7.

Edit:  It was Wada.  Though, he just said he was hoping it would.  http://www.finalfantasyunion.com/news/square-enix-final-fantasy-xiii-will-outsell-final-fantasy-vii--710.html
