FINAL FANTASY XIII Shipped 5 Million Copies Worldwide

FINAL FANTASY XIII Shipped 5 Million Copies Worldwide
FINAL FANTASY XIII has some news huh.
FINAL FANTASY XIII has shipped 5 million copies worldwide. It had shipped 3 million for launching in Europe and America on March 9. With the 2 miillion copies in Japan, FF13 hit 5 million.
And the whole FINAL FANTASY Series hit 96 million copies of shipment.
How do you think about that?
For the present, 5 million is okay.
For the present?
5 million is great, but it should achieve more. Especially in Japan, 2 million is actually worse than the previous FF. Also, Yoichi Wada, SQUARE ENIX CEO, had stated that FF should increase the ratio of foreign sales, so FF13 really need to do more overseas. Otherwise, the present result is just the brand name effect. FF13 can sell more if it really has some unique features.
Hope it can achieve a higher goal.
We can know its popularity through "Game International Ranking". It has conquered the TOP of all countries' charts except England and Japan. We've got it for a while.
In France, 5 FINAL FANTASY XIII related products have entered Top 10.
We should pay attention to its further result. Maybe, the success of FF13 can teach DRAGON QUEST 9, which is also a SQUARE ENIX game and has hit 4 million in Japan, how to succeed overseas.
Anyway, it is good news that a Japanese company doing fine overseas.
More precisely, a Japanese company other than Nintendo.
The Big N is different.
