Forums - Sales - Will FFXIII be Best Selling FF ever in Europe? (do u think it can do it)

Thes r EU sales for past FF titls:

FF7 -- 2.70 Million

FF8 -- 1.88 Million

FF9 -- 0.84 Million

FF10 -- 2.19 Million

FF12 -- 1.40 Million

And FF13 has done this much in 10 weeks:

1.75 Million (last week it did 62K in EU/Others)

_

I thnk it will outsell ff10 easily, wht about ff7, cn it do anther million over its whle lifetime in EU? I relized luking at thes sales today tht it might bt i wnt ur opinions.

4 me this was th best FF since FF7 & 8 so it desrves the sales.

I think it may pass X, but it will be quite a challenge to conquer VII.



dus any1 knw how much sales it needs to do on average to get 1 millon more ovr next 3 years?



153 Weeks = about 6,500 Units per week.

It is possible that 13 will sell out X but VII? I don't think so.



6,398 a week for the next 3 years to hit 1 Million.

thts very hard because aftr 1 year of sales ff games show zero legs. Unless platinum edition is released. ff12 did below 4K per week aftr its first year. bt ff13 is outleggng it so far. Its nt impossible tho



The best thing you can do right now is compare each version of FFXIII to other games that were selling at a similar rate & see where those games LTD ended up. That will give you an accurate forecast of where each version of FF13 (PS3 or 360) will end up in total sales in Europe. In order to get 2.7 Million you would want the PS3 version to hit 1.7 Million & xbox to get to 1 Million. Or the ratio can be different.



    

Its about to shoot past FF8, and i think definitly surpass FF10 within this fisical year. as it stands now less than 1 mil to hit that 2.70 mil. these figures are very immpressive despite the negative press.

i think if the PS3 sales can reach about 1.8 mil and 360 sales reach 0.9 mil (this will be difficult) i think this is possible within the next 2 years. word of mouth and advertising seem to be strong so hopefully it can top FF7 and hit an all time high in EU, maybe even 3 mil with price cuts.

Seriously why are you typing in this way? Are you posting from your phone or is your keyboard broke?

What I mean is compare FF13 to games that have done 1.8 Million on PS3 in Europe & games that have done around 900K on xbox 360. I'll show you an example:

***********

FFXIII (PS3) compared with Metal Gear Solid 4 (to see if it can get to 1.9 Million LTD)

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Others&game1=Metal+Gear+Solid+4%3A+Guns+of+the+Patriots+-+PS3%5B6970%5D&reg2=Others&game2=Final+Fantasy+XIII+-+PS3%5B7727%5D&reg3=Others&game3=&weeks=82

At a glance it tracks underneath Metal gear Solid 4 (its been almost 2 years since that games release)

Looking at a weekly comparison between them:

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Others&game1=Metal+Gear+Solid+4%3A+Guns+of+the+Patriots+-+PS3%5B6970%5D&reg2=Others&game2=Final+Fantasy+XIII+-+PS3%5B7727%5D&reg3=Others&game3=&weeks=82&weekly=1

Its not doing as well for most of the weeks.

What this indicates is that its unlikely FF13 on PS3 will get to 1.8 Million by 2 years of its launch, it could get there by 3 or 4 years of its launch though.

FFXIII (Xbox 360) compared to Fallout 3 (PS3 version) which did 980K in Europe

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Others&game1=Fallout+3+-+PS3%5B6993%5D&reg2=Others&game2=Final+Fantasy+XIII+-+X360%5B24628%5D&reg3=Others&game3=&weeks=82

At a glance its outselling it clearly.

Looking at the weekly comparison between them:

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Others&game1=Fallout+3+-+PS3%5B6993%5D&reg2=Others&game2=Final+Fantasy+XIII+-+X360%5B24628%5D&reg3=Others&game3=&weeks=82&weekly=1

FFXIII (xbox 360) struggles, but only because Fallout 3 was out in the holidays, after the holidays Fallout 3 went below 10K, so we will need a few more weeks to see if it can get to that mark.

**********

Conclusion - Its entirely possible, but won't be easy.
