I thought that 5 million copies are already shipped out.ULTROS! said:So... Anyone think FFXIII's gonna have lower sales than FFXII and FFX-2 worldwide? Say 4.5m-5.0m?
amtentori said::lol at people expecting >100k for Red Steel 2. No one fucking cared the game came out.
Probably about 1.2. Don't think the extra 2 weeks would have made any real difference. Since these games tend to be incredibly front loaded.Truespeed said:Great numbers for God of War 3. 1.1 million copies for a game released on March 16th. Just imagine what it could have done with those additional 15 days.

Freezie KO said:Everything about the DS confuses me.
What's the split between the Lite and the DSi? Are they even still selling the Lite? Are people choosing to pay $30 more for the DSi en masse? Will the Lite ever drop to $99 and become destroyer of worlds? And why the 3DS? Sure, you want to still have mindshare for the "DS" brand, but releasing it when the DS is doing 700k looks like cutting the legs off a viable product.

It may not be below your standards, but it's way less than it could or should be if they're asking the same price as the PS3 verion
speculawyer said:Who keeps buying all those PS2s? Can you even buy new software for it anymore?
Kagari said:Doubt that. Only 100K in UK, probably much much less in other European countries, so I don't think all of those add up to 500K combined. FFXII only did around 1 million in Europe on PS2. Considering the split for the entirety of that continent is probably closer to 75/25 for XIII in favor of PS3, yeah... not likely.

After August 2009 and before March 2010, estimated at about 50/50. This is based on $150 ASP for Nintendo DS hardware in two separate months.Freezie KO said:Everything about the DS confuses me.

hatchx said:I can see 100-200k. It had motion-plus as a pack-in.
Jtyettis said:No I don't doubt that at all considering it is at 600k in the US and UK first month. That doesn't include the rest of NA and all of Europe for March and the remainder of April WW. Almost without question it's a hit a million.
AceBandage said:No one knows the exact split.
Yes they are still selling the Lite.
En masses? No, but it's selling decently.
It'll drop to $99 sometime next year.
3DS because GameBoy Advanced.
And they're releasing the 3DS now while the iron is hot for a new handheld, instead of when the brand is dead.
Kagari said:Lower than at least FFXII, probably.

Freezie KO said:I must say I'm surprised if the DSi is beating out the Lite. Not much has been done with exclusive content, and, at $30 more, I'd really think price would be an issue. DS is my favorite system, but I think the handheld probably skews young, where price becomes more of a factor than downloadable distribution.
As for 3DS, sure, GBA was selling well when the DS was released, but would the DS have been released if the PSP wasn't on the horizon? Without PSP, GBA could've kept going as well. And I understand what you're saying about striking while the iron is hot, but the iron is really really hot. At least wait until sales slow to 400k or something, while still beating out the rest of the consoles.
AceBandage said:Well, the problem is, even if hardware is still selling like it's pure gold, the software has taken a pretty big dive, content wise.
There's basically nothing on the horizon in terms of big releases from anyone.
It's time for a new handheld and new ideas.
ULTROS! said:So... Does this possibly make it the lowest FF selling post FFVI not including remakes?

Kind of makes the doubters from the February thread look rather vacuous in the membrane.
Kagari said:Anyone got the US LTD for FFX?
ULTROS! said:Hope this is close
LeoStenbuck said:So WW, Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 would be over 3 million now?
Around 600-700k for 360?
FateBreaker said:The Xbox 360 port is not shitty.
This is quite incorrect.elrechazao said:You have no evidence as to what "shortage" means, beyond a smaller supply compared to what Sony wanted to exist in the retail chain. So all of the inferences you are making are based on what you personally perceive as "shortage". I've been looking for a deal on a ps3 for a month now, and I have not once seen a PS3 out of stock at walmart.com, amazon, kmart, gamestop, or locally at any retail, nor seen a single report of any supplier having no units in the way say, the wii had clear shortages. I'm waiting for evidence of customer demand outstripping supply beyond sony's actual production numbers falling short of their production goals. That metric isn't useful for assessing consumer demand, sorry. Again, simple logic.

I lost my launch 20gb so I went on the hunt for a deal on the Slim, found out that just trying to get MSRP was a deal.
Amazon went weeks without stock. Newegg.com, Bestbuy.com, Walmart.com, Gamestop.com
All were out, it was ridiculous. I never believed the "shortage" thing either but it took 3 weeks to finally get one. This included checking local retailers and trying to get Gamestops to hold them for me.
It was pretty easy to follow all this in the "PS3 supply problems" thread that was quite lively while you were banned.
Things seem to be ok as of a couple weeks ago, on that day almost all the major retailer sites got major stock back in, and now I see them at most stores I go to.
EDIT: Looking at my posts in that thread, hunt started March 3rd.

And this is the day everyone started getting them back in stock, March 26th, I got mine the next day.

Well, how much advertising did it get? My complete disconnect from the world of TV and magazines means I never have any clue whats being advertised and what isn't.sillymonkey321 said:Definitely expect it to sell 100k+
You were looking were you?:lolbc226 said:Interesting I found PS3s at several stores in my area in the month of February and March no problem, this being a suburb of Chicago.
I thought it was 'just something on the internet' but I really tried hard to get one. I couldn't believe it took so long.bc226 said:Interesting I found PS3s at several stores in my area in the month of February and March no problem, this being a suburb of Chicago.

Far below the average PS3/360 game.
Entering my zip on Target.com right now, 7 of the 10 closest stores are oos; 1 has low stock; only 2 are well-stocked.dallow_bg said:This is quite incorrect.
