I thought Famitsu had a little more influence amongst the gamer population there.

I wouldn't be surprised if the game is technically better than the first, but was affected by how dull that one was.

Yea, the damage has already been done. Japanese fans had been buying less and less with each iteration and I think Final Fantasy XIII was the final straw.

I'd be interested to see the pick up rate on this title compared to the pick up rate of X to X-2.

Well it looks like the Japanese gamers were so disappointed with FF 13 that they won't even take a look at the game let alone buy it. Square might need to do something to earn back some of there Final Fantasy fans *cough*Versus13*cough*.

If only right?

Not to say this news surprises me, although I was under the impression that Japanese gamers were a little less critical towards XIII than those who hated XIII in the West.

They did send Wada death notes over the 'International' release of XIII...
