	Mr Puggsly posted 13/09/2012, 10:04 @ ganoncrotch Perhaps Dead Space and Mortal Kombat would be released in Japan if they didn't have weird laws on censorship. Google "xbox censorship japan." You'll find a lot of interesting articles. Either way, you just cherry picked two extremely violent western games. Yet you ignore the many, many western games that have been released in Japan.

	Ganoncrotch posted 07/09/2012, 03:53 @Mr Puggsly just gonna point out here, there are only 1.6 million xbox360 owners in Japan, tis sad but they just don't like anything from the states, tis why you don't see games like dead space or mortal kombat ever get released there because even tho they are great games japan just wouldn't take the american spin on those genres.... even tho kojima etc will qq about us buying call of duty and not his games when they dont sell over here.

	Mr Puggsly posted 08/05/2012, 05:24 @ oniyide - Probably more like a 1 or 2 hundred thousand more. I think that's a realistic assumption. For example, Resident Evil 5 on the 360 sold over 120K in Japan, BECAUSE IT WASN'T A LATE PORT. It got trounced by the PS3 version, but it didn't sell a measly 12K like this late port of FFXIII. Which ultimately had an impact on the sales of the sequel as well. I'm not living in a fantasy world, I'm just not ignoring sales trends like yourself. Message \| Report
	oniyide posted 21/03/2012, 03:07 @mr.puggsly you're a moron, people DONT care about 360 in Japan, period. stop living in fantasy world. What it would have sold maybe thousand more??? Wow thats just great. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 13/02/2012, 06:27 @ oniyide - Uhhh... you're a moron. Obviously the first being a late port had an impact on the sequel. Use your brain for a second, if everyone bought the original on PS3 than they're going to buy the sequel on PS3 as well. Message \| Report

	oniyide posted 28/01/2012, 10:03 @mr. puggsly no just no, woudl have done better in japan if not not for late port?? look at 13-2s japan 360 sales and say that again. People dont care about 360 in Japan, it is what it is Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 13/01/2012, 02:26 The 360 is dead in Japan? You better check your sources because MS still supports it there. The 360 version of FFXIII was going to get trounced by the PS3 version regardless due to userbase. But it would have performed significantly better had it not been a late port. This had an impact on the sequel as well. Bioshock 2 did fairly better than the original, but it may have done better had the original not been a late port. Message \| Report
	VXIII posted 07/01/2012, 12:15 No actually I'm not smart enough :S , the only reason it did poor in Japan is that the 360 is dead in Japan and all the JRPG fans already got PS3. you can't keep blaming the original version being a late a port forever. Bioshock for example was a late port on PS3 but Bioshock 2 did decently good Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 06/01/2012, 03:02 The poor sales XIII-2 on the 360 in Japan are due to the original version being a late a port. You're smart enough to realize that. I hope.... Message \| Report
	VXIII posted 05/01/2012, 10:46 The point is that it didn't do any better in Japan like you thought , nobody mentioned "the west" Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 01/01/2012, 03:55 @ VXIII - Doesn't really matter how it does in Japan. They put it on the 360 to give it a sales boost in the west. And it was a boost of almost 2 million for FF XIII. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 27/12/2011, 09:16 @ Heavenly_King - Well Square made a shit ton of cash and FF fans didn't have to buy a PS3. I'm sure if you'd change your tune if it were a PS3 exclusive. Deny all you want though. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 27/12/2011, 09:11 @ AceRandum - Late release. PS3 version was going trounce it regardless, but it would have done better. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 16/11/2011, 06:26 @ invetedlotus123 - Yep, a real shame Sony didn't lock it as an exclusive. In the end only Sony lost out while Square and 360 benefited. Message \| Report
	invetedlotus123 posted 15/11/2011, 04:31 This game have should remain a PS3 exclusive. MS probably paid for it, since FF is the kind of franchise people are up to buy a console to play. Just like MGS4, it sold 5.5 million, but how many people did bought a PS3 just because of it or at least the game had a huge influence in wich plataform choose? Message \| Report
	reviniente posted 15/10/2011, 08:51 @DakonBlackblade - Yes it has. A shame really, however, japanese X360 owners are the most hardcore group of gamers I've seen. They do us proud. Message \| Report
	DakonBlackblade posted 02/10/2011, 06:57 @reviniente - the whole "90% of the time" thing was just an expression to say that almost alwhays Japanese gamers choose PS3 instead of 360 it wasnt realy a precise estimate...dont get me wrong I have nothing against the 360, I dont own one but I play on my friends 360 constantly and love it, but the XBOX is dead on Japan, so much so it has literaly been removed from the shelfs of a great deal fo the Japanese greatest game stores.

	reviniente posted 07/09/2011, 08:17 @DakonBlackblade - I disagree wholeheartedly. By your estimate, 10% of 1.4 million is 140k not 13k. The X360 version, had it been released simultaneously, would've done much better. SONÂ¥ just ended up hurting SE with the exclusivity deal. Message \| Report

	DakonBlackblade posted 21/08/2011, 08:46 @skeleton-fingers the reason why Star Ocean and Tales sold well for the XOBOX on Japan (despite the fact that it was way less tham a Tales game or Star Ocean would over there) was because they where XBOX360 exclusive, only after some time they where ported to PS3. Given the option the Japanese gamer will 90% of the time buy the game for the PS3, so releasing FFXIII in Japan at the same time they released the PS3 verison wouldnt have helpped the sales one bit.

	skeleton_fingers posted 24/06/2011, 01:36 Who can guess what the sequel's sales will be? I think around the same because a lot of people felt disappointed by this one but then hopefully word would spread how great it was so people would start buying later. I hope FF13-2 is waaaaaaaaay better even though I loved 13! Message \| Report
	skeleton_fingers posted 24/06/2011, 01:34 Square Enix really should have made it multi-platfom for Japan early on so then the sales would be way higher. After all, games like Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Tales of Vesperia easily sold over 300,000 copies on Xbox 360 in that region. Message \| Report

	Rob-Ot posted 12/01/2011, 11:26 @Chibi... Thats because Xbox is dead in Japan. Star Ocean 4 had lots of additional content in the PS3 version. The xbox 360 version of this game in Japan has no additional content, there was no reason for anyone to get this game again unlike the FF12 international which had a revamped job system (even that couldn't save the atrocity that was FF12).

	Galvanizer posted 06/01/2011, 07:16 @Chibi.V.29 You nailed it. Star Ocean 4 came out on PS3 in Japan a year after the 360 version and still sold 80,000 in it's first week. The FF series is way more popular than Star Ocean and yet FF13 couldn't even hit 10,000 in its first week on 360. I think Japanese people that FF13 is shit and so are not buying it for 360.

	Chris Hu posted 04/01/2011, 02:41 There are over 4 times as many PS3 owners as 360 owners in Japan. So pretty much everyone that wanted to play it there already played it on the PS3. Plus the game is over a year old. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 04/01/2011, 02:11 Very disappointing numbers in Japan. I guess its pretty evident people who wanted it already bought it for PS3. Oh well, 2 million is just around the corner with no dependence on Japan. Message \| Report

	Galvanizer posted 02/01/2011, 02:54 @enrageorange Yes, they do. Look a the Japanese 360 sales? If it can sell that low in Japan where it is hugley popular then the same can happen in NA and EU. People will lose faith in the series and stop buying the games if they turn out to be shit like a lot found FF13 and FF14. Message \| Report
	enrageorange posted 01/01/2011, 06:36 yes yes they should be worried its only the 4th best selling final fantasy even though it won the most biggest dissapointment awards.

	blue7x7 posted 19/05/2010, 02:58 Square Enix said it has sold 5.55 million on both consoles today. So obviously both the ps3 and xbox 360 version are undertracked. Vgchartz has both version sold at 5.29. Anyways this might actually do 2 million in the long run. I guess it was a good move for Square to release it for the Xbox 360. http://www.vg247.com/2010/05/18/final-fantasy-xiii-sells-over-5-million-units-worldwide-in-fiscal-fy10/ Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 08/05/2012, 05:24 @ oniyide - Probably more like a 1 or 2 hundred thousand more. I think that's a realistic assumption. For example, Resident Evil 5 on the 360 sold over 120K in Japan, BECAUSE IT WASN'T A LATE PORT. It got trounced by the PS3 version, but it didn't sell a measly 12K like this late port of FFXIII. Which ultimately had an impact on the sales of the sequel as well. I'm not living in a fantasy world, I'm just not ignoring sales trends like yourself. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 13/02/2012, 06:27 @ oniyide - Uhhh... you're a moron. Obviously the first being a late port had an impact on the sequel. Use your brain for a second, if everyone bought the original on PS3 than they're going to buy the sequel on PS3 as well. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 13/01/2012, 02:26 The 360 is dead in Japan? You better check your sources because MS still supports it there. The 360 version of FFXIII was going to get trounced by the PS3 version regardless due to userbase. But it would have performed significantly better had it not been a late port. This had an impact on the sequel as well. Bioshock 2 did fairly better than the original, but it may have done better had the original not been a late port. Message \| Report
	VXIII posted 07/01/2012, 12:15 No actually I'm not smart enough :S , the only reason it did poor in Japan is that the 360 is dead in Japan and all the JRPG fans already got PS3. you can't keep blaming the original version being a late a port forever. Bioshock for example was a late port on PS3 but Bioshock 2 did decently good Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 06/01/2012, 03:02 The poor sales XIII-2 on the 360 in Japan are due to the original version being a late a port. You're smart enough to realize that. I hope.... Message \| Report

	DakonBlackblade posted 21/08/2011, 08:46 @skeleton-fingers the reason why Star Ocean and Tales sold well for the XOBOX on Japan (despite the fact that it was way less tham a Tales game or Star Ocean would over there) was because they where XBOX360 exclusive, only after some time they where ported to PS3. Given the option the Japanese gamer will 90% of the time buy the game for the PS3, so releasing FFXIII in Japan at the same time they released the PS3 verison wouldnt have helpped the sales one bit.
