5 million first week is great, but can it beat FFVII numbers, like SE hopes?

Key question. I don't think so, but wouldn't it be something if they did?

now it has to sell those 5 million copies. shipment doesnt mean sold. this is square speculating that people want ff13 and it might sell out so they shipped 5 million. frankly i dont see ff13 selling 5 million to be quite honest

Shipments are more determined by retailers than Square Enix. Though retailers could be overestimating sales too, in theory.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Good for SE, glad it's working out for them. As for me, I will wait for this to hit $30 before I bite, on PS3 of course.

Yeah I personally believe it will have a LT of about 8,5 million both versions combined, but I'd be pretty amazed if managed to reach 10+. It would be pretty epic.

PS3 : 4 millions

x360: 1 "poor" million.

so ummm....PS3 2.5M and 360 .5m?

2m PS3 and 1m 360 seems more likely...

If that's the case, they overestimated the 360 version.  It's looking like it'll have a 250k opening in North America, and far less in Europe.  Considering FFXII sold approximately 30% of its Western sales its very first week, that implies the 360 version won't do much more than a million lifetime (I'd say 1.3 million, maybe less), let alone within the first few weeks.

I'd figure it would be 2.15m PS3/ .85m 360.

I'd also guess the 360 version was overshipped by a bit. In terms of regional shipments:

NA PS3 = 58% EU/O PS3 = 42%

NA 360 = 67% EU/O 360 = 33%
