FINAL FANTASY XIII Shipped 5.55 million Worldwide. Figures of SQUARE ENIX's Games
We had talked about "SQUARE ENIX's Financial Results Announced. Next Year Prediction and Stock Price Fall to the Ground", and here are some new information from the Results Briefing Session.
Results Briefing Session for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2010 has announced the shipment data of particular games. Here we go.

(Japan: 1.85 million copies, North America: 1.79 million copies, Europe: 1.77 million copies, Asia: 0.14 million copies)

DRAGON QUEST IX: 4.26 million copies
(Japan: 4.26 million copies)

BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM: 3.24 million copies
(Japan: 30,000 copies, North America: 1.82 million copies, Europe: 1.39 million copies)

KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2Days: 1.49 million copies
(Japan: 0.54 million copies, North America: 0.75 million copies, Europe: 0.20 million copies)

DRAGON QUEST VI: 1.29 million copies

KINGDOM HEARTS Birth By Sleep:0.76 million copies
(Japan: 0.75 million copies, Asia: 10,000 copies)

"DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY" will hit 1 million by selling 10,000 more copies in Japan.
Really close.
"FINAL FANTASY XIII" is the most important point this time.
1.85 million copies shipped in Japan.
Just as we expected in "FINAL FANTASY XIII Launched in Japan".
North America shipped 1.79 million copies, Europe shipped 1.77 million copies. How about that?
The figure is until March 31, 2010. Launching date outside Japan is March 9, so the sales should be more now. Sales in Japan is highest now, but the other regions may exceed that.
If they ship more, 6 million is not a dream.
If they could.
Please respond with more dream...
Xbox 360 version is selling with discount at amazon.com already. Discount rate in North America is usually low, but it is 20% discount now. PS3 version is 5% discount. Seems the market don't need Xbox 360 version.
It's difficult to determine which console should have more shipment in a simultaneous release.
Let's study other games' figure.
"DRAGON QUEST IX" shipped 4.26 million copies.
Only in Japan. And FF13 can't even reach the half of DQ9, we can know how the brand value of FINAL FANTASY drops in Japan.
"BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM" had an unexpected result in Japan. It shipped 3.21 million copies to North America & Europe, but only 30,000 in Japan.
Outside Japan, people welcome a game adaptation of movie, but Japanese consider that is boring.
How about the 1.29 million copies of "DRAGON QUEST VI"?
As the first remake since Super Famicom, not satisfying. Just keep the same shipment of "Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen" and "Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride".
"JUST CAUSE 2" will launch in Japan on June 10. North America and Europe have it in March already, 0.92 million copies is the figure until March, There are another 1.19 million copies shipped in April, as announced.
That's all.
This year they have no big game like "DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies" and "FINAL FANTASY XIII ". Look forward to their strategy.
