It did fine in Japan, it's unreasonable to expect any console game released nowadays in Japan to compare with Japanese console games from last gen - handhelds just hold too much of the market now.
Dragon Quest X ain't gonna outsell Dragon Quest IX for the same reason (And I doubt Dragon Quest VIII).
Very good outside of Japan too, they certainly sorted out their marketing in Europe this time round.
It sold on brand name alone, really for the hype of the game it should've sold more, a lot more, especially since it was MP and came out after the slim was out.
its not doing too hot in the west in my opinion, especially when a "niche" series like GOD OF WAR is doing much better than FF..

You did.
It has been in development a very long time, but I would have thought it has made a profit by now, though not as large as earlier games.
If you want me to reply, quote me pls!

Yeah true, but i think it was the negative reviews which really hurt it. i think if the reviews had've been a lot stronger then it would have sold much better than it did.

You need to really stop, I will get arrogant so fast.
Again: FFXIII DID NOT FLOP IN JAPAN
It's not a matter of opinion, yes it did not sell as well as other previous ones, which it's going to do anyway.
Flop: to fail completely, the game did not fail, it was the 5th best selling game in japan in 2009 and it was relaesed in december, late december.
Now, STOP, please!

yes been Multi platform and brand name are the main reasons it sold that much, i think it would have sold much more on 360 if it had better quality. X360 owner are action driven and FF13 has an auto pilot so it wouldn't appeal much to them, just sitting there watching what the AI does with "your" party its not exactly action.

I hate how people think this.
FFXIII has been barely out in Japan, there's still greatest hits, re-releases, international versions of FFXIII that's yet to be released, all other Final Fantasy games got big boosts from these re-releases. Just like how recently Resident Evil 5 was re-released and had a huge boost in sales for Japan.
