invetedlotus123 on 14 December 2009

Well, i think it's better to bet 2nd week, since it we pratically know 1.3 million for First week.

I bet

450k 2nd Week (Just Xmas time, pretty realistic)

2.5 million Life Time

400k International edition

hmmmm.

1.1 million first day

1.5 million first week

2.3 million LTD

Im hoping we see more LE bundles which will push sales beyond the "shipment" numbers. I also think the title will sell pretty decently through december and im hoping from what ive seen it will be quality and have about as a good of legs as a FF title can have in japan.

I hope you are correct!

but 1.5 Million Week 1 isn't possible, they are only shipping 1.3 - 1.45 Million for week 1

I just hope it has legs like you hope it will!

Just so you guys know, FF X sold 1.75 mil and dropped to 233k week 2 and FF XII sold 1.84 mil then droped to 217k. This is according to garaph numbers. So FF XIII will be very frontloaded and considering it's $100 (WTF?) there'll be tons of used copies.

I'm going 900k first day, 1.2 mil first week, 1.6-1.8 mil LTD (1.8 if it gets a good enough holiday boost. 1.6 mil very low end and if it has legs like the others despite releasing in the holidays, 1.7 mil the average).

that would make it higher than FF3 but lower than FF4

with FF15 hopefully we will be back in the 2 Million + range

So as long as the whole first FF game on a console sells better than the last game on it pattern doesn't continue. Selling even less than that would be really disappointing for the franchise and not a good sign for JRPGs in general...(besides DQ)

Lets see soriku, in general there has been a  decline of 500K in FF releases

{numbers are in Millions & are LTD sales/prediction for FF13)

FF7 - 4.0

FF8 -- 3.5

FF9 -- 2.5

FF10 -- 3.0

FF12 -- 2.5

FF13 -- 1.7 - 2.0

that would indicate FF15 would be 1.3 - 1.5 Million

Do you really think the franchise is in such rapid decline? What went wrong?

The best option may be to make FF15 PsWii

PLEASE stop that idea of a Tales of XIII!!!!!!

Re-releases & a 360 version should take FF13 to 2.5 Million in Japan imo

However strictly speaking after the MGS4 sales & Yakuza 3 sales, I never thought FF13 would sell upto a million lower than its closest predecessor.



although it may have better legs than FF12 due to word of mouth, lets hope it does

However they are still on track for 10 Million worldwide!

I think sales will see a rise after XIII, think, if it is successiful in holding legs and reach news audiences there will be more people waiting to buy the next fantasy. I expect for XIII to XV a similar effect of MW and MW2 WW, the series have pretty good start and with legs and word of mouth makes the series well knowed and loved, than the next one have a monster FW. Sure not in the same proportion.
