@ TBL
MS has paid Square and Namco for several JRPGs that don't even sell 640K life time. So how can they not be happy about the opening week of this game?

Also, the PS3 would have a saw a significant boost in hardware sales if FFXIII was a PS3 exclusive. But that didn't happen. I'm sure MS is happy about that as well.

FFXIII sold significantly better than any other PS3 game in Japan. It has about a 30% attach rate.

Believe it or not, the 360 has a better attach rate than the PS3 in Japan. So 300K would have been very possible. But this is just my prediction, its not worth debating.

If you say something that's blatantly untrue (MS saying it would sell better in the UK) or very bias, bear in mind someone might call you on it.

Dude sure I love my PS3 and you obviously love your 360 since your making yourself it's shining knight in armour and defending it I'm just trying express my opinion and yes you're right exclusive advertising doesn't always result in higer sales but I didn't say it like that, what I meant to say was that MS surely expected it to sell more after all those advertising efforts.

And there's no way an 360 version in Japan would have sold 300k there, but I know your love for MS would have you belive it :D

@ TBL
The exclusive advertising doesn't always lead to the best sales. For example, MS had RE5 advertising while Sony had Assassin's Creed 2 advertising. Notice a pattern?

Microsoft never said it would outsell the PS3 version in the UK. It was just some UK consumer website that came up with that prediction. Perhaps your PS3 fandom made you want to believe that.

I don't think anyone was talking about the "Japan advantage." But if it was released for the 360, it would have sold far more than 100K. I think it would have sold 300K - 400K and the 360 would have saw a nice sales boost. But that's just my prediction.

I understand you love your PS3. But try not to be so bias about this. 640K is a great opening. Few games a year open with that much.

@CChaos
So stating the obvious makes me a Sony fanatic, I was just saying that with all the exclusive advertising along with bundles they had for the game in the west I'm sure MS expected more sales for this game, MS even went as far as saying that FFXIII would outsell the PS3 version in the UK.

And to all those saying the PS3 had an advantage due to it's exclusive release in Japan, please take a minute and use your logic and you should realise that it would have never sold over 100k there.

I have to admit it, the sales are very good. Im a Sony user, but the sales for the first week in this version are very good. I dont like to see more FF titles in XBOX consoles, but i think that gonna happen.

Congratulations to all X360 owners that bought this, all of you gonna see more titles to your consoles.

Congrats square, and FF series that now have proven that the franchise can sale in whatever console and in whatever territory.

Well stop comparing these sales to the PS3. This was a highly anticipated game for Sony fans. Just look how the sales compared to other games.

Not a lot of games have an opening week of 640K on the 360 and PS3. The only games that do are major releases. Hence, this was a major release and it performed great.

Putting this on the 360 definitely was not a failure and Square knows the PS3 would get a majority of the sales.

With the same token, developers know shooters will perform much better on the 360. But bringing them to the PS3 is still worthwhile.

Bringing this game to the 360 was worthwhile and I hope it leads to more of the franchise on the 360. MS might even pay for that to happen if necessary.

@Mr Puggsley actually this is a pretty good reason to reconsider future multiplat FF releases, considering all the exlusive advertising MS put up for this game, and the almost 10 million advantage 360 has in USA dont make these sales impressive TBH. But hey thats just me, i could be way of to.

Adjusted up on BOTH platforms... sold only 150,000 less on X360 than it did on PS3 in week one in America.

On both platforms, this could easily sell 7 million with the two platforms combined.

Well that's kinda unfair to say due to the fact that FFXIII is not released in Japan for the 360. If you compare the two regions that were sold at both, PS3 has about 2:1 ratio to the 360, which was about expect for the sales on the 360

Good first week considering the precarious predicament the 360 version was in (2.5:1 pre-order gap, 576p shitform on the internets, epic bundle fail, etc.) Top-name jrpgs are doing better on the 360 than top-name wrpgs on the PS3 (where they sell like 2:1 or more on the 360). That is a positive sign. It proves to the haters that the 360 base isn`t all about the shooters. When you take into account all those HD twin owners who got the PS3 version, that means FF13 was a popular buy for 360-only owners at that ratio.

There's nothing funny about my post, play both versions and you'll see what I mean. I got it on PS3 because I had the option, but 360 fans shouldn't skip this because there is a slightly better version out there. Only a sad lonely virgin would think the differences are that big a deal.

It's gonna be great seeing FF 13 come to the 360 platform. Square Exix must of wanted to take advantage of the large 360 user base in the NA region which was a smart business move.

Perhaps Dead Space and Mortal Kombat would be released in Japan if they didn't have weird laws on censorship. Google "xbox censorship japan." You'll find a lot of interesting articles.

Either way, you just cherry picked two extremely violent western games. Yet you ignore the many, many western games that have been released in Japan.
