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 think SE did want to hit 10 mil with FF13. in the trailer where they mention Leonia Lewis for the first time, the presenter mentions that FF13 could be the 'most anticipated title of all time'. Kitase says that FF13 will exceed all expectations. and the developers talk about how FF13 was inspired by Call of Duty Modern Warfare (one of the best selling games).

Then Wada changed it to 6 mil after they thought they couldnt reach 10 mil. not to mention Fabula Nova Crystalis is meant to be bigger than the FF7 compliation. i think FF13 was meant to be the new flagship of the series.
