Congrats to Square Enix and Sony, huge numbers !

Now let's hope PS3 reaches 1 million worldwide this week.

It would probably mean PS3 takes the lead in EU installed base and the last country where 360 still leads in the world is the US.

What a week...


It leads the PS3 in the UK too.



Yes.

It leads the PS3 in the UK too.

360 also leads PS3 in Canada, Australia, Taiwan, India and (surprisingly) Korea iirc.

If we're talking "major" national markets though, it's really just US/UK for 360, Japan/France/Germany for PS3.

dont know y most thought it wasnt going to get past 200k

thats only 2 days of data for HW after ff13 release i c next week being the same or higher giving the ps3 another chance to hit 1 mill sold in a week ww

There are 4 days for the sale period this week after FFXIII was released and I would bet next week would not stay the same or get higher for PS3 hardware in Japan.

One thing I notice on FF thread is that exaggerate the success is totally welcomed while anytime someone brings up any valid point is an attack on the title. So basically if someone is celebrating the success of the title but exaggerate the fact, no one is allowed to correct him or it would be an attack on the title.

Also, for the ones who are vlowing about the number and calling people who underestimate it, aren't you the ones who also predicted 1.8 mil FW and/or the best selling game for Dec in Japan?



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.

Worse Case: 1,919,661 (based on Final Fantasy XII)
Best Case: 2,442,474 (based on Final Fantasy VII)
Final Fantasy X Case: 2,015,325 (based on Final Fantasy X)
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.

I'll eat my socks if that happens (it wont).

will you eat my socks too?

Also, the number doesn't really work out as listed. For 1.5 mil to be 55% of LT sales, the LT number needs to be a little more than 2.7 mil.

No because NSMBW will sell over 300k and reach 1.7 m atleast, and if the preview is right it will be over 1.8 m.

So FF XIII won't probably ever outsell NSMBW in Japan considering its legs.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

 

Well it exceeded my predictions on both HW and SW.

Am I mistaken in thinking that these figures are not final?

I thought a couple more days are required to complete the total sales week.

If this is the case then both figures can increase by a huge margin.

As for the usual hate filled posters:
With 100m in revenue and a whole lot more to come I am damn sure SE and Sony couldn't care less about how FF sold in the past.
The past is the past and this is the here and now.
