You're out of your mind. Just how large an install base do you think FF will be launching on? The PS3 doesn't even have a game that's sold 500k in Japan. Low software sales, tiny install base, crap attach rate: With all of those things in consideration, what makes you think FF will do 1m in it's first week?The game will be lucky to do that in it's life time. |
Well, the current install base is 2 million units, depending on when Final Fantasy XIII will be released I´d expect it to be as high as 3 million units - 1 million in its first week is absolutely possible, although I wouldn´t expect it to see sales on par to previous installments. Remember, Final Fantasy is a very top-heavy game and could possibly sell more than 50% of its total sales during the first week.
Actually, first week sales are not that important here - the core gamers will still pick it up during the first week (although sales won´t be as high as for the PS2 Final Fantasy games) , the question is will the game have good legs or will those be even worse than for previous titles?
