There might be mixed receptions about the linearity of Final Fantasy XIII, but it sure didn't keep people from buying it. Having sold 5.55 million copies worldwide, the battle between the l'Cie and the fal'Cie is Square Enix's best-selling title last year.

Final Fantasy XIII sales are pretty even across the three major regions - 1.79 million went to North America, 1.77 to Europe, 1.85 in Japan, while the other regions can account for the tiny slice of the grand total. It won't stop there, Square Enix will still release the game again in Asia in a Chinese/Korean version.

 

Dragon Quest IX also sold well, moving 4.26 million copies in Japan alone. In the west, Batman: Arkham Asylum from Eidos (a.k.a Square Enix Europe) sold 3.24 million copies.

"best selling final fantasy on ps3/360"

Other than the port of FFXI, its the ONLY FF game for those systems.

The hell?! I loved the old KH games... But had no idea a new one was even out.

Tell you what... I think that right there is the issue.

Its no wonder it sold well, as aggressively marketed as it was.
For like an entire week, I saw at least THREE FFXIII ads per page, including Qj.net
That, and the general hype that a new main-line FF game gets.

How else do you think they could have sold that pitiful excuse of a game?

Amazing game, hope it sells even more as time goes on, people will start picking it up when Versus comes out too, I think...

Well I'm not surprised that XII sold a lot of copies. They didn't do what capcom did. Imagine if they released Final Fantasy XII for the WII LOL
