Well this is out of Tokyo. Things can change when the US release comes.

The 360 version of FFXIII accounted for about 40% of sales outside Japan. Hence, Square might change their tune when they bring Versus outside of Japan.


You have to remember though the ps3 version acouted for 60% of the sales without any advertising what so ever. The game had an xbox exclusive ad champaign.

What does it matter? Final Fantasy fans bought it for whatever console they owned regardless of the logo that showed up at the end of the commercial.

A lot of Final Fantasy fans didn't buy a PS3. A lot of them got a 360 and this is the real reason why the 360 version sold well. Not the ads.


It matter because ff13 sold a hell load more in Europe etc than most of the previous games which would sujest that meant alot of new players where buying it. if all the advertisement wads for 360 it is perfectly logical for me to asume a larger [portion of this new market was infact the xbox audience.

FF13 sold a lot more than most games in series everywhere. I don't think you're taking into consideration it was a very hyped release and the first HD Final Fantasy game. The first PS1 and PS2 releases did really well too.

There are a lot of reasons why FFXIII performed well on the 360. Exclusive advertising is not very high on my list of reasons though.
