@koffieboon Just reading comments on the internet alone I've seen at least 100 people saying they're importing and that's without really going out of my way to find them and I know 3 people personally that have said they're importing so I doubt the numbers are as small as a couple thousand. Obviously it's probably not 100k+ but I wouldn't be surprised if it were somewhere in the area of 25-50k. Although you might be right about imports being included in sales figures, at least in Famitsu or Media Create.

What I meant was that even 25-50k will hardly make a difference on total first week sales.

10 millions copies sold here we come.

I doubt this'll be the first FF to crack 10m, despite Wada's desires.


Just a little correction, technically FFVII has already crossed the 10M mark.

9.72 on disc version + the sales from PSN store release.

talking strict numbers

100K sold in PSN's first week in NA ALONE

after that launch its STILL in the top 10 for NA

We don;t know EU PSN week 1 figures nor do we know the japanese ones

but its is WAY past 10 million counting PSN sales

@Darth

We can't give an accurate number since we can't find the data for PSN sales if i'm not mistaken, but it certainly is more than the 280k needed for FFVII to reach the 10M mark, so yeah, it was the first Final Fantasy game to do so, and the only one yet ;)

Remembers that exist a Otaku population all over the world. The kind of people that learn japanese to watch Anime and play Final Fantasy.

If localization wasn't so quick, I would be sure to import.

One of those preorders is mine :p
I've been playing jp version of ff since IX. I played IX and X without understanding japanese.
I live in a far far away country, so buying jp or english version would be considered an import anyway :p
