Game sold about one million first week in the west and you call it a bomb? what!?Of course it could be overtracked but there is no evidence for this yet so this thread really is premature. In Japan it bombed yes but with the data available it did fine in west.

There is proof of overtracking, January NPD was overtracked, if the same methodology was used for the week after then surely that week was overtracked too?

And did you not see the X-2 comparison, XIII-2 after launching in each region hasn't even touched X-2's week 1 sales.

The fact is final fantasy the series itself has sold less then its days on the PS1. This game is on track for doing just as well, as the only other comparable FF titles, as FFX-2 and we could probably throw in Dirge of Cerebus. Yes it is not doing as well  in Japan, but it seems it is appealing more to the West.

The series itself, just like every new title, will continue to change and evolve into new directions until they find the mass appeal.
