ff13 hs outsold xbox 360 console in jpn alone. 

360 could still pull ahead!  Never give up hope! <3


you mean just give up hope! even if the 360 cost 1 yen they still wouldnt care. what you need to understand is that the japanese personally hate the xbox. they hate it like its an alive person and one of their enemies.

Naw, 360's still doing 3-5k weekly, while retailers can't even unload their sealed FFXIII inventories for 800 yen (about $9) a copy now.  If 360 gets any sort of push, it could easily pass FFXIII (it's only ~550k behind).

Except the FFXIII International/Re-release will push it out of 360's reach forever when it lands. (FFX-2 re-releases pulled in 400K Extra sales, FFX re-releases pulled in 700K extra sales FYI)

And lol who said its for 800 yen, check amazon.jp, not what 1 or 2 guys on VGChartz found it for in Japan

Unsold copies of FFXIII are flooding the streets of Akihibara, they're building apartments out of them!  Face facts!

FFXII Int only sold 140k btw, I bet a FFXIII Int would do even less.  Unless it's multi, then it might crack 200k. :P

I am jpnese and go ther frm time 2 time, plz tell me wher its sold for 800 Yen? I hve not seen these copies floodng th street. U dnt understnd how the jpn market works, 2nd hand sellng is big in jpn now. FF12 wsnt supportd well by squareenix th prblem tht happend with it ws they released 1 international version with 1 platinum hits. Is not enough for ff franchise. FFX got 3 seprate re-releases and sawy rise in sales whenevr new final fantasy game hit. U will see a trend like ffx-2 saw with ffxiii, expect th game to go over 2 million with is re-releases and pack ins wth versus xiii.

jpn is supply to demand driven market, i hve studied it, if new re-release is out they buy for few weeks, thn market dries up. square doing re-release is guranteed. I still see it as disppointment in jpn sales, bt as i studied the nature of market i cud see it will go over 2 million. This xbox 360 will nt go past it in sales, xbox sales will go dwn aftr this year in jpn, it will need to sell for 4 years without ffxiii re-release to sell more thn it, tht is my analysis.
