Default Final Fantasy XIII Second Best Selling Japanese Game In December

Famitsu have just posted figures, and it seems as though New Super Mario Bros Wii pipped Final Fantasy XIII to the post.

TBH I'm not too surprised.
The nintendo fan-base in Japan is massive & the install base of Wii's VS PS3's.. well, there is a large gap.
However, I was expecting FF XIII to do slightly better in it's home nation.

Maybe Japan is annoyed at all the "We want to make the game more western" talk from SE?

Yup *Nods in agreeal (is that a word?) with Omen*

Its like what Jamie talked about in FFUP (ooo i like the way 'ffup' sounds when you say it, it pops at the end! ^,^) with the whole Japanese people being unhappy cause they made it more suited to 'Our people' xD

Maybe it'll get number 1 in the UK/US

Well its number one pre-order on Amazon, Play.com and most other UK gaming sites.
Over MAG, Gran Turismo 5 etc... but not the 360 version. Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2 are ahead of it)

Ahh cool

Are there any good pre-order bonuses?

I may pre-order it if there is, and just not play it for a month :/

there is an anime convention that my friends are forcing me to go to. Anime Boston. It's going to be during the release of FF13, so no launch FF13 for me, or pre-orders.
