I think it was several reasons:
- The Final Fantasy name is strong especially with the main installments.
- The ad campaign, while not huge in many places, was still present.
- The game was the sequel to one of the best reviewed Final Fantasy games ever made, and was compared to FFVII and FFX from the very start.
- FFXIII was a better game then Mass Effect 2.
