It is now two years, we roll up that Final Fantasy XIII first name on PS3 had sold less than Final Fantasy X-2 in its first week of operation. Today, Media Create,via our colleague Andriasang , revealed the first digit of its sequel, Final Fantasy XIII-2 , and you will see the black series continues. 

FF XIII-2 has finally passed to the tune of 525,271 units (10,000 Xbox 360) whereFF XIII scored 1,508,558 two years ago. So these are three times fewer copies have been sold, with a gap of nearly a million pieces all the same. For comparison,Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 does distance "only" 344,599 copies! 

The series is clearly in decline, as this new episode of the saga is even lower sales at its output as Final Fantasy III for the NES (619,491 cartridges). Released in a game yet ... 1990! Here is a comparison of each episode numbered figures provided by VGChartz , so you can better appreciate by yourself (with the exception of Final Fantasy II): 
To contrast these figures, we offer below the number of machines sold to each output of Final Fantasy,always with the site VGChartz . The NES  Unfortunately, being too old, we could not obtain data for the first three episodes of the series:

It's a shame.
Plus, I think it will be quite frontloaded in all territories. I guess it won't sell more than 1M in the USA on the PS3. It will sell less on the 360.

I guess this will make S-E see all the mistakes they've been doing.



that's what happens when you change a proven formula, with no clue on how to improve it.

Messing up a proven formula is costly.

I guess FFXIII left a bad taste in everybodys mouth, and imo im not looking forward to XIII-2 at all the new charactor looks boring, and I dont like it when a RPG keeps switching me from the main charactor
