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.  

 

 

problem is that IT IS NOT PREDICTION that ioi is talking right now

he is talking about his ESTIMATION, the final numbers used by VGCHartz ... so dont expect big change at the end : 1M more or less 100k at max

How do you expected higher numbers from a 4 million install base??? 1.5 million is more than 1/3 of install base.

This is amazing sales.

@ bobbobbob, do you have the install base of hardware at release of these games?

disappointing sales, lowest week1 for ff game

For a main FF? Yes, sort of if you don't count X-2.

 

If you do, XIII just outsold X-2

Others should get to 400K for last week, it's a 26% lift which is doable (in 2008 it got a 15% lift from the previous week).

Americas needs a 30% lift to get to 350K (in 2008 it got a 26% lift from the previous week).

Only possible spanner in the works is the crap weather on the weekend in some high population places in the northern hemisphere, which might push some sales into this week and drag the total below the magic million.

Their PR machine is broken, I do agree.

It would he been the good moment to pown their ass with some "exclusive FFXIII release in Japan"
