Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 HW - 245k and FFXIII - 1.5M

Great sales.

And I expect Media Create number over this:

* PS3 260k
* FFXII over 1.6 million

Huge numbers, definitely 10% higher than I was expecting on both hardware and software - big week indeed for PS3.

 

 

Your overall prediction is maybe right. But atleast 3 weeks ago you said 175k in Japan for FF 13 week. And you said that probably the people which expected 250k ( I was the only one) maybe disappointed.

 

 

There was so much fail in the thread maybe I should remind some people what they said after the numbers are confirmed.

FF continues its fall...

Green = Start

Red = Sales Down Over Past Game

Blue = Sales Up Over Past Game

 

How is it falling? Looks more like an up-and-down rollercoasteresque pattern.

13's down from 12 (fw), it will be down ldt as well. Ignoring X-2 (sold like a spinoff) it's clearly trending down.

Not only is it down, it's getting more front loaded too.



^ Clearly trending down if you completely ignore XII

X-2 doesn't really count.

FFX had only ~5.2mil install Base, which had an attachment of ~33.6%

FFXIII has about a ~4.2mil install base with an attachment of ~36%

Seems to be doing well in my opinion.



Battlefield Bad Company 2 > Modern Warfare 2

I expected more but I'm guessing a lot of Japanese bought their PS3 earlier contemplating FFXIII.



disappointing sales, lowest week1 for ff game
