Forums - Sales - FInal Fantasy XIII sells over 1 million units in America!

Lastgengamer on 22 March 2010

Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIII has sold 1 million units in the US since its release two weeks ago.

 

No exact figure – or breakdown ratio for which console sold more copies – was given, but expect the March NPD figures to give the necessary details next month.

On Friday, the firm said FFXIII had become the biggest-selling title in the series so far in the UK, having already become the fastest-selling title in Britain this year.

The game’s gone on to ship 5 million units worldwide, with 3 million in the US and UK alone.

Thanks, D’Toid.

I think we are a little overtracked, we have almost a million first week and they said a million in its first TWO weeks

Actually it´s over 1 million in FIVE DAYS, as you can see in the original link

The team at Square Enix has a lot to celebrate today. Final Fantasy XIII has sold over one million units here in America in the first five days that it's been out. Final Fantasy XIII has now become the fastest-selling installment in the franchise's history.

Square didn't give a breakdown of whether FF XIII sold better on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 so we'll have to wait for the NPD data next month to get a clear picture on that  .... along with a ton of console fanboy rage. With the release of XIII, the Final Fantasy series has now reached 96 million units sold worldwide since the first game appeared on the original Nintendo.

I've been hearing a lot of mixed things about Final Fantasy XIII. Some love it and others are bored with it already. How's your experience been with Square's latest offering?

Did they specify Americas or America. If it's the former it's only slightly undertracked, if it's the latter it's a fair bit undertracked.
