Unless my math fails me, it apparently looks like the 360 version is showing better legs. Look at the ratio of second week sales to first week sales.

It doesn't seem like a significant difference, but still, I'm rather surprised.

Discuss.

Edit: The point of this OP is because I was expecting a smaller drop-off from the PS3 version since the FF brand is generally associated with PlayStation. Seeing a statistical tie, I'm both surprised and impressed.

Edit 2: Another interesting fact: FFXII sold 151,479, while FFXIII sold 276,240 in its second week.

CGI-Quality said: Yeah, it didn't have as steep a drop off as the PS3 version, though it's expected considering how much more the PS3 sold launch week. Good sales either way for the "worst game in the series".

That's possible.

And yeah, I agree.

Well... That's whathappens when you have exclusive advertising and a 9 Million lead


Still, fantastic sales for the game so far

Yeah, I'm aware of those 2 factors. It's still possible the PS3 version will hold up much better on its third week, but I just thought I may as well show it's holding up rather well on both consoles.

give it a month and it will be gone from teh top ten while NSMBWII stays in the top ten for months to come. FF13 in my opinion will be done within the month. I still think if square wanted really awesome sales for months on end they need to make a different FF series and not use these 3D type engines and go back to the 2D stuff but make it to the point where its a mixture of the two as in graphics but gameplay like back in the day. i mean look at how many people still buy the original 6 games. can you imagine playing a brand new FF in teh style of the old ones? but using particles and shadows and just great looking graphics to tell the stories and such? i mean look at cut scenes which i think would be awesome if they did that. or instead of having such small characters have more detailed bigger characters. i know everyone that is a sony fanboy is drooling over FF13 and versus but cmon stop thinking sony is the greatest in the history of videogames and start thinking how great it would be to have a game appeal to everyone and sell like hot cakes. it is possible.

And a super elite console bundle!

I need to get back to this game and finish it soon!

What, in god's name, does this have to do with anything I've said in the OP? And where did I say Sony is the greatest in the history of video games?

You've just earned yourself a report.

well if you look at percentages the PS3 version dropped to 26.7% of its first week while the 360 version dropped to 28.7% so the difference is largely meaningless. Could become more meaningful as time goes on though.

Lol, I know, I calculated it before I made this thread, also hence why I said it's insignificant at the moment. But considering how FF is generally associated with the PlayStation brand, I was expecting a smaller drop from the PS3 version than the Xbox 360. But seeing the 360 version ever so slightly ahead in second week drop-offs, I'm rather surprised and impressed at the same time.

As the saying goes - I lol'd.
