Yes they deserve it.

I hated FF13 so much i refused to purchase aother FF game again. So no they dot deserve it. By the looks of it many people agreed with me ad spoke with purchases.

I aint going to get FF15 at launch. I will wait to see what type of reception it gets. Wish they would remake FF3 on the snes for modern cosoles with all the bells and whistles.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

No imo... I don't think FFXIII was the FF we all wanted to have in the 7th generation... Its Auto-Battle, mostly terrible characters (Looking at you Snow) as well as no real party system (in the sense where you can control more than one person during battle) and many other reasons, I don't think it deserves that many units at all...

Yes, FF13 series has been a great series. Cant wait for LR to drop in less than a month now.

I think so I liked Final Fantasy XIII series.

No, selling on name alone ff13 was terrible. Way better rpg's around, series needs an overhaul.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I would say that 10 million is probably lower than what S-E was hoping for. That's 3 games across 2 platforms and they only managed to sell 10+ million copies. Projecting for LR sales numbers for NA and EU and you're talking around 12 million copies for the entire FFXIII trilogy when it's all said and done.

FFVII by itself almost sold 10 million copies on one platform. So I'm guessing S-E was expecting the FFXIII trilogy to sell a little better than 12 million copies.

That is FFVI it did get re-released on the PS1, GBA, and will soon be on android and iOs devices.

Not really. It sold so well because it bares the name Final Fantasy. Not that I think the XIII games are terrible by any means but they are kinda just decent/mediocre, imo.
