Forums - Sales - Why I predict First Week JPN FF13 sales to be 1.6 million

Johann on 27 September 2009

Seems reasonable enough.

If only Sony would advertise it, maybe it could do even better...

That seems just about what it should do. I don't expect much legs though. Still great sales for any Jrpg or even console game in Japan. It won't be succeeded as the best selling 3rd party Japanese console game until DQX counting only japan sales

 WW FF13 will outsell DQX 2:1

FF12 sold only 5.11 million WW, on a much larger base, so the likelihood that 13 will be able to outsell DQX 2 to 1 WW is small

so?

MGs3 sold 4 Million on a 120 million userbase

MGS4 has sold 4.2 million & growing on a 24 million userbase

______

GT3 sold 15 million.....it launched when PS2 had sold 15 Million

GT4 sold 10 million.....it launched when PS2 had sold 115 million or so

@Soriku

DQ 8 sold so much as it had the FF12 demo in it, thats why many people I know got it....not saying its the only reason it sold that much, but trust me its a BIG reason.

_____

DQX = 4.9 Million

FF13 = 9.9 Million

both figures are WW



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Very logical, and quite possible. This FF has a lot more hype than the previous ones, though (besides VII, but that had the most hype after it launched, not before).

*I say 2 million, have been saying it since E3 2006. Feel free to quote, non-believers!

i'm quoting not because i don't believe you, but because i like you :p and the 2 million figure is what i was thinking

Nintendo's advertising made a new IP like Layton sell multimillions. I don't see DQ sales only increase a little bit from DQ VIII sales, FF XII demo or not.

4.9 mil and 9.9 mil isn't 2:1 btw :P I'm pretty sure DQ X will hit 5 mil+ but FF XIII won't hit 10.

Er...

Technically he is correct, it is a little bit over 2:1.
