5.55 combined.  Not as impressive that way, but I guess it would take a lot longer for any one territory to reach that amount.  DQIX's sales are the real  :o :o :o.

And yeah, it would be nice to see the breakdowns on FFXIII sales per platform.  Well, for anywhere outside of Japan at least.   :lol

Watch a sizable portion of Versus content be taken out due to having to get the game on 360. People will say that 360 didn't impact FF13, but then they say they removed half the game from FF13.  I wonder why?

Sony, get exclusive rights you dumb fucks.

Most mainline FF's these days do 5 million so no, it's not that impressive. FF12 did 5.2 and wasn't multiplat.

Probably about a third of the NA/EU total, a little more than 1.5 million.

JC2 sales in NA are shit.  Wtf gamers?!?

It's crazy seeing EU becoming the sales powerhouse this gen that is saving developers/publisher's asses on a consistent basis when NA or JP sales don't cover the bill.

Still, the fact that it ended up around what normal mainline FFs is a good thing.

Versus is gonna be fuck awesome.  After you guys play Birth By Sleep (Sept 7th US, 10th Europe) you will be on your knees going "nomura-samaaaaaaa please give me versus xiii"
BBS is the prototype for Versus XIII and it's the best game this year by far.  Who knows how amazing Versus will end up.

They better not cut shit.  If they want to port it to X360, that's good but just release the PS3 version in march like planned and then spend 6 months porting it and release the X360 version in the fall along with the US PS3 version.

Yeah, continue to tell the industry that you don't want them to make anymore PSP games and don't want a PSP2 by pirating psp games @_@

Yeah, sucks, doesn't it?  Good thing I'm not one of the ones to blame, what with the 46 games I currently own, and easily 60+ purchased over the lifespan of the system.

If I wanted Kingdom Hearts for realz, I'd buy it.  Zero interest though.  But fuck Square Enix for making it so that I can't just rip the game and play it on my CFW PSP.  Before this latest crack, I wouldn't have been able to play it if I purchased it on my 2000.  It's like they didn't want a sale!

My work has 3 used copies of the 360 version in along with a PS3 copy. There's a Gamestop upstairs from where we are so I'd wager a lot of those 5.55m are in used bins.

There have also been huge sales for FF13 less than two months from its release.  Kmart had it for $30 a few weeks ago and every other major retailer has it for $40 to $50.  I can't remember the last time that happened with a major FF title.  Either SE or the retailers must have had not much faith in FF13.
