Great FFXIII first week sales. Great PS3 HW sales.

Why you people don`t wait for 2nd and 3rd week numbers? So far, 1st week is amazing.
This and next 2 weeks will be highest selling weeks for all consoles.
FFXIII is going to ride on holiday boost sales. It can reach 2 mln. LTD on 3rd week.

Hopefully my math is right.

Final Fantasy XIII will sell more in next weeks than other FFs because a lot of people in Japan don't have a PS3 yet.

So I guess that fist week is 55% of LTD sales... final sales will be a little over 2,5 million.

IMO.

Can't the same argument be used for Final Fantasy X which had 75%?

Ethomaz...please stop posting

Great sales for the game and PS3 hardware, just leave it at that people. It didn't outsell FFX or Dragon Quest because the attach rate is better....seriously that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Anyway my prediction for this game was 1.6 million so it just missed that. A lot of people here did underestimate it.

I think this is exactly where it'll end up. Should get another 400k or so shipment imo, then nothing until the International version late next year or 2011 (though that release will likely be on 360 also).

I my opinion no... but you may be right.

FFXIII was launched with the smaller user base of all FFs. FFX launched with over 6 million PS3 sold and had one day more of sales (maybe in 5 days FFXIII could sold 1.7 million).
