BengaBenga, actually NO.
Final Fantasy X - 1,9 mln.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 1,5 mln.
Final Fantasy XII - 1,8 mln.

SO, realistically speaking FFXIII will do 1,5-2 mln. in Japan. Over 2 mln. first week has very slim chances(depends on PS3 price).



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

damn how much FF 13 will sell! 1 million first week confirmed ;)

just to add salt to the wound.

 

How is that salt in the wound?

If anything 1 million first week for FFXIII would be a major disapointment. Anything much below 2 million will be actually. All FFs since VII sold 2 million or more first week in Japan.

 

thanks for proving my point, damm poor ps3, since everything willl be a disappointment for other console others (read not ps3 owners).

 



Skittles on 27 December 2008

I predict over 322k for first week sales. With 2nd and possibly the 3rd week over taking 1st week sales(slim chance but possible). LTD of 700k-1m for japan and a possible 1.6-2m WW.(depending on release date and commerical used)



Prediction:

TGS this year for PS3 will be amazing.

Grandia comes to PSN(PSone classic).

First Versus gameplay this year.

If FF13 only sells 1 million... that kinda proves it can't sell JRPGS.

I mean... FFVII and FFX both sold around 2 million first week.

Even 1.5 million i'd think would be seen as mildly disapointing.

No, 1 million first week for will be a dissapointment for the Final Fantasy series. What every other fanboy thinks about it is completely irrelevant. I'm pretty sure SE doesn't invest more money in a title to sell less...

BengaBenga, actually NO.
Final Fantasy X - 1,9 mln.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 1,5 mln.
Final Fantasy XII - 1,8 mln.

Yes, you're right. Although X-2 is more or less a spin-off, but I think we can agree on the basis of these numbers that XIII should do above 1.5 million in order for it to be a success (Something I think is definitely possible btw).

I predict over 322k for first week sales. With 2nd and possibly the 3rd week over taking 1st week sales(slim chance but possible). LTD of 700k-1m for japan and a possible 1.6-2m WW.(depending on release date and commerical used)

For WKC? Out of the question. 322k lifetime if they're lucky. Sales don't double over first day, definitely not for RPGs. Usually about 70% of first week sales is sold day 1, and first week sales are usually around 60% of lifetime sales for RPGs in Japan.

Benga - It really depends on the JRPG. Many are lucky to get a 50% increase, much less a 70% increase. Looking at the X360 JRPGs, very few saw more than 40% over their first day.

WKC will be lucky (and I mean that in a very positive way) to sell over 200,000 it's first week. Any more, and it's definitely impressive. Anything less, and it's expected.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

the game is sold out on amazon...now it's overpriced



outlawauron on 27 December 2008

All sales are kinda low. Poor Sega about PS0.

Agreed, but if five or six JRPGs come out on one system, and the other system has one, and that one outsells all of the other JRPGs, how can that not be a good thing?

 

Don't want to be harsh here, but it is the frigging 360 in Japan you're comparing it with, aka the shooterbox. PS1 and PS2 had 90% of all the JRPGs in their generations, here everyone is celebrating a solid, yet not spectacular, 132k for a JRPG from a respected developer for the successor to THE JRPG consoles that hasn't seen a single quality JRPG yet. Sure it will sell somewhere in the 200k's, but that's nothing to cheer about after all the hype about how this game would show that the JRPG fans were still on Playstation.

Both sides are massively overreacting here.

Of come now. The PS3 has had some good JRPGs. Just none of the released have been traditional (ie not a ARPG or SRPG) or a new title (Eternal Sonata being a late port)
