This is from Famitsu preview numbers...

* More than 1 million sold in fist day without bundles.
* PS3 software record in Japan.
* The initial shipment has exceeded 1.8 million.

So with bundles is more like 1.2 million on first day and this week has only 2 day sales for FFXIII then...

1.5-1.8 million for first week.

The power of Epic Fantasy XIII.

FF13 came out on a Thursday (yesterday to be exact). As weekly Japan numbers run to Sunday, I believe it will be the usual 4 days of sales for its 1st week.

Numbers will be huge and can't wait to see HW boost.



Elaine: I will never understand people

Jerry: They're the worst.

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno!

I now feel bad for listening to famitsu predictions and beliving it might have trouble passiing 1M sales on the first week.

the Lightning Edition PS3s are pretty limited... probably won't see too much HW sales the first week..


200k of the Lightning bundle has been pretty much confirmed. So i actually expect the HW sales to rise by quite a lot.

Are there really that many Lightning bundles? I only went to two stores today (2nd day of release) and one store had all their bundles for pre-orders. The other store doesn't do pre-orders on hardware and they had plenty of bundles in stock. That's where I picked up mine.

which stores did you go to?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

OH MY GOD! THIS IS SO AWESOME! GREAT GAME AND SALES!



the best RPG's are coming 2013 !!!! oh my god, this is perfect for RPG-GAMER = ) Ni No Kuni - 25 january, Time and Eternity, tales of xillia (PS3) and the maybe best game ever: metal gear solid ground zero


So it seems there's a minor controversy in that the "over a million" figure isn't actually from Enterbrain/Famitsu, but from Square Enix directly? :/

If Famitsu's reporting on it they likely have a something similar, but it's the first time something like this seems to have happened...



Damn, I gotta see those 12/19 numbers.



Let's wait for famitsu official numbers okay? I hope they sell out the first shipment in the first 2 weeks though. The drop from 1st week to 2nd week will be under the average for a FF, since next week is Xmas and it will sell lots of copies, there's still a chance to the first shipment sell out in the first 2 weeks of sales. 2.5 million in the first year is now a reacheable goal!
