- Recently, we heard the first Japanese shipment of Final Fantasy XIII-2would be about half the size of the initial Final Fantasy XIII shipment.
And now, despite what can only be viewed as relativelydecent sales numbers, it seems FFXIII-2 is marking the franchise's perceived popularity decline. Check it out:
Everyone is talking about the latest tallied sales figures; the long-time fans have noticed that thus far, FFXIII-2 hasn't even outsold Final Fantasy IIIon the SNES. The industry was considerably smaller back then, ya know. Furthermore, if you compare the sales of FFXIII-2 to some of the more popular installments during the PS1 and PS2 eras, the picture starts to get clearer... We're making no judgments on this; we'll let the readers hash it out.
By the way, does anyone else find it supremely hilarious that the Xbox 360 version of FFXIII-2 has sold around 10,000 copies compared to the 525k the PS3 version sold? Why even bother to release the 360 version in Japan?

| Probably because FFXIII didn't even feel like a Final Fantasy game...It was just eye candy wrapped around over-the-top story... | |

| No surprise since no one no one really demanded for a sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. We'll see what happens when the game is released outside of Japan. | |

| Final Fantasy is no longer synonymous with gaming as it was before. | |
