 FFXIII-2 sold less than half of FFXIII which was already under target.

FF XIII exceeded sales expectations. And XIII-2 sold pretty well for a spin off.

 

 


FFXIII "exceeding sales expectations" the same as Sony saying the Vita sales were "Right at expectations" if you catch my drift.

  • FFVII was first gen PS1 release, moved from one console to the next etc. 11+million and still going.
  • FFX first gen PS2, sold 8million
  • FFX-2 sold 5.5million as a spin off
  • FFXII sold  5.9mill
in comparison...
  • FFXIII sold 6 million across 2 platforms and a marketing campaign as big if not bigger than the one they had for FFVII. The game also was originally slated for PS2 release, scrapped, then redone for PS3, then mysteriously dissappeared for years, then went into Multiplat development. Assuredly, this was the most expensive title they ever made.
  • FFXIII-2 sold 3million across 2 platforms but is most likely using a heavy amount of borrowed assets from FFXIII so at least it might be some sort of profitable. Also note that this game dropped to like $40 just a few months after release so that skews it a bit.
  • FFXIII Lightning Returns is at most going to sell 2million
