LIGHTNING RETURNS sells poorly in Japan

Recommended Posts

First week sales for LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII are in. And it's pretty poor.

 

It only managed to sell 277,082. Far from what Square Enix would have wanted. XIII-2 sold double that and it was still poor.

 

This does not include digital sales from the PlayStation Network. And the Xbox 360 version failed to sell enough to be counted.

 

Thanks to Nova Crystallis.

I'm sorry, but I kinda expected this. I don't know why, but I did. Still feel bad for Square though.

Somewhat as well...The series wasn't good to most fans and it felt like they were forcing fans to like it...

It would be the end of Square Enix and we'd never see Kingdom Hearts III or FINAL FANTASY VII's rumoured PS4 remake.

DAMN! thats really bad :(. But wait, who said there will be a remake for VII, i heard about it befor, but then i knew that they cancled it, so...

HD Collections don't sell that much.

Didn't KHHD sell a lot? And plus this includes KH2 and BBS, it will sell nice.. And FFX is considered by most thee best FF game... So that'll sell. And if they release the Sleeping Dogs sequel next year... They got some good games lined up, but I'm afraid most people are disinterested in anything to do with FFXIII (both American and Japanese audiences), as for the upcoming games, they're sure to sell.

HD 1.5 ReMIX sold like 100,000. It sold well for a HD Collection, but it sold less than LIGHTNING RETURNS. 

 

Sleeping Dogs didn't reach their expectations either. I can't see the sequel selling more.

I expected much less sales than this because,let's face it.

 

As much as I'm willing to play LRFFXIII,the XIII series really wore out of it;s welcome

 

Not to mention that the console market in Japan is dying.

 

People are either playing a 3DS,a Vita,a PSP or an iOS

 

if a game isn't on those three,most Japanese people will overlook it especially since handhelds are much cheaper

 

Not to mention,the time system in LRFXIII is literally ripped off from Majora's Mask.....it's really similar to it it's ridiculous

 

the only difference is that you have 13 days instead of 3

 

If you've played Majora's Mask,you've already experienced LRFFXIII

It's sad that this game sold poorly, even though

Lightning is happy at the end of this game :) cause she gets her sister back :)
