Forums - Sales - Square Enix numbers for last financial year, and some LTD numbers as well

Of course RPG do like shit in europe, 150k is good now ? Nope but for a JRPG it is good. And trust me, SO3 sold badly cause it was english only. For instance, i know (i'm French) a huge amont of people who didn't buy Valkyria only because it isn't translated.

As to the 13m games in Japan this fiscal year (Apr 2009 - March 2010)...Id go:

DS:

DQ IX - 5m shipped (mid July)

KH - 1.25m shipped (late May)

PS3:

FFXIII - 2.5m shipped (late December?)

PSP:

KH - 1.25m shipped (Sept/Oct?)

360/Wii/PS2:

??

Between the games still being shipped from last year and whatever else they have, its probably a realistic forecast.

2.5 mil for FF13 would be huge!

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Yeah I probably went over board by 500k or so on the two KH games and FFXIII, even by shipments.

what is AS?



Asia



We finally found an RPG franchise which is more popular in Europa than it is in America: Dragon Quest! (DQ VIII also sold more in Europe)



Yeah its probably something like this (with some guesses added on my part):

DS:

DQIX - 4-4.75m

KH DS - 800k-1.25m

DQVI - 600k-1.1m

DSi Spinoff - 500k

 

PS3:

FFXIII - 1.75m-2.25m (Dec)

 

PSP:

KH PSP - 600k-900k

Tactics Game - 500k-800k

 

Wii:

DQ/FF spin off - 500k?

 

360:

New Title - 250k?

 

1.8m KH, 2m FFXIII, 4.2m DQIX, 0.85m DQVI, .50m Wii Spinoff, 0.65m Tactics, 0.25m for a new 360 game, 0.5m for a DSi game.

Thats 10.75m. Can't imagine what else they have to make up that 2.25m though.
