The Japan Preview: 12/20 Edition (FFXIII Attaches to 1/3 of PS3s)

It was a big week, as FFXIII sold 1.35m units (1.25m standalone, ~100k bundles), hardware rose across the board, and alot of big older Wii & DS titles saw big rises. Wii, PS3, & DS are near 200k.

considering that it was only 2 days and the 100,000 ps3 where final fantasy 13 ps3s which where 399$ and cant wait to see the regular ps3 s and next weeks sales

[Lookbehind]

Gonna be an interesting last week or so to end this year.........

[Noctis Aftermath]

Will wait for media create numbers.

vg-guesstimate-chartz predicts overall PS3 hardware sales at 175,000 to 225,000 last week.

media create will be fun. :)

Yeah its promising but apparently Final Fantasy games sell 60 percent of there life time sales on the first few days in Japan. I could hit 2 million which for Japan alone would be amazing but I find it unlikely.

Not even sure Halo 3 had this attract rate though, 33 percent is stunning sadly that percentage won't hold up outside of Japan. I am still hopeful that this will outsell that demon MW2.

But to be honest that's never gonna happen even if it does outsell FF7.

I like how there have been 2 or 3 articles about how "Horrible" 1.3 million copies (Sold out) was, and why it was some "Indication" of why they so desperately needed the xbox port.

"Oh no! We 'Only' sold every copy we had? We 'Only' sold a game to 1/3 of Japan's install base of the console? Oh no, We NEED TEH XBAUX!!"

in LESS than a week.
Wow.

[SiteNblog Defender]

Impressive.

[DrRobotnik]

This is what people have been waiting for. And you wasted half of the Rpgs on the 360. Idiots

[rezenu]

Good point.

[Blackcanary]

Now bring out FF 14, FF VS 13 and KH3 and the rest of the good RPGS u got hiding in that brain of ur's SE.

[Pyrrhus]

In all hoesty, id be happy if they gave us FFV13 and KH3 asap XD

[ngg12345]

The numbers aren't true we get the real data in 2 days from famitsu and media crate. We know it sold more than 1 million first day and that is it.

[muddygamesite]

Well, i guess thats why the title is a "preview" because it is more like a prediction, and not solid fact.

[sashimi]

yawn, media create numbers plz

[eagle21]

cry somewhere else. :)
