Ah, so over half of the sales are on PS3. Impressive(Although I cant really say I'm surprised) Smile. It will be interesting to see how the sales build over time.

God daymn. Well my prediction was a bit out, though I can't say I'm disappointed of course. 66% - 33% is a huge margin outside of the US mind...

I'll admit... I was wrong too. I thought the 360 had it in america. Also, these figures show the power of Final Fantasy as a name. 83 on metacritic and still sells over a million week 1.

No wonder Final Fantasy XI and XIV were given a number.

That's because Online > All Tongue But i am biased mind xD
It's looking possibly like a Late Summer/ Early Autumn release for XIV i reckon. I'm thinking Sep/Oct time.

This is why XI is epic Tongue

Yay, PS3 is winning! Maybe because the people who got the game day 1 told their friends, the graphics suck, buy the PS3 one.

I'm actually surprised to see the PS3 version doing so well, considering the amount of marketing M$ paid for and the general popularity of the Xbox 360, I thought it would have done a little better than that.

1.2 million is a strong number, even by FF standards. I'm glad to see that the game's doing as well as it should.

Or because most people who ONLY own a 360 don't really care about the FF series, and if they happen to own a ps3 as well why bother paying for the inferior product? Same happened to Modern Warfare 2's initial sales, only reverse. Still it's nice to see the game doing well!
