Someone explains this to me : FFXIII outsells Mass Effect 2 by 1'632'195 in the west

I bought FFXIII, and I was really disappointed. The game looked gorgeous, but everything else was just not in the FF league. Obviously FF has a huge following before it released. It is number 13. ME2 is by far the better game, but it doesn't have the history that the FF series has.
