Versus 13 will launch after March 2011. No way Square Enix can release FF 13 (in the west), FF 14 and FF Versus in the same fiscal year.

FFXIII was last fiscal year worldwide.  I agree though that Versus won't be this fiscal year, if it was we'd likely know about it by now.  I don't think Agito makes this year either.

True but FF 13 launched in March in the west, and we all know legs are very important in the west.

Evidently not according to the massive NPD drop it saw in April.

And the great legs it's showing right now on VGC...

20k-ish combined weekly six months out isn't exactly stellar.  Especially considering the massive pricedrops about everywhere, it's selling for 50% or less of MSRP most places.  FFX/XII didn't price collapse nearly as fast...

Not even making NPD's top 20 in April was pretty telling for FFXIII, it was massively overshipped which is why they've been pricedropping the stock to move out.  Even DQIX managed top 20 it's second NPD, and it's an incomparably less popular series (and will probably hold it's MSRP for the rest of the year, at the very least).

Yet it's still selling 20k a week 6 Months after it's WW launch.

Which are good legs. No matter how much you try spin it with NPD or a game on the DS.

"Good" legs wouldn't be in the bargain bin.  Budget legs are indeed better than no legs at all though, gotta clear that stock somehow...

The standard edition is going for ~£20 and the collectors is going for ~£35. Those aren't bargain bin prices.

The PS3 version is actually out of stock in some places... Like GAME for example.  You can only get it preowned.

Even looking at an American site I see the game brand new selling for $50. Is that a bargain bin price to you?

On Amazon, it's $30.  For HD games, that's bargain bin.  But less talking about the sales flop that is FFXIII, more talk about this year's Japanese top 10... what do you think it'll look like Carl.

No it isn't. On one site it's greater than half the price it released at. But whatever, keep trying to troll yet again.

Probably dominated by 3DS/Wii/DS with Monster Hunter PSP taking a spot in the top 3 somewhere. Unless Move takes off or GT5 sells really well.
