The game is going to be huge in Japan, I think SE have shipped 1 million units for it's initial release. You seen the bundle?

I will never understand why people buy consoles in game bundles like that. Why would I want a PS3 themed after a game? I'll be playing loads of other games on it, too.

I don't have a ps3, so seeing as i might get one with the main reason being for playing FF13 and if the price is similar to that of a normal console bundle then why not?

Just because it has a painted character of one game on it doesn't void it's ability to play, other games you know.
 
This is supposed to be the game that turns it round for PS3, I will be getting it tomorrow.
 
What do you mean turns it round?
 
I can only assume he thinks the 360 is still way ahead... which just isn't true now.

I know that, I meant that this is the one game that Sony have been relying on since the launch of PS3 to really boost sales. The fact they're doing better than expected already doesn't change it.

The FF series is HUGE in Asia...

I know it is, but I don't agree with you on that. MGSIV and Killzone 2 were considered just as important as FFXIII for boosting sales.

Well, that's the impression I get living in Asia, anyway, will be getting it tomorrow and will post more once I've tried it out. :drool:
 
Think I might have to invest in a PS3 for this beauty, long time player of the FF's! Bad news when it's going to be getting released around dissertation time though

Not in Japan. PS3 has been neck and neck with the Wii all year in Japan in terms of sales (Metal Gear has nothing on this, and Killzone?). If this finally doesn't place the PS3 into the PS2 bracket in terms of sales, there is nothing that will. The thing is still too expensive in any case, and the Japanese have moved to mobile gaming in the main. They do love their DSs.

Well, strangely enough, Sony seems to have accomplished what they want with PS3 - winning the format war.
 
I know Japanese so I'm importing this. :p playasia used to be my favorite site, but it doesn't ship jp games to EU anymore, but other sites do... wait, does anyone care about me rambling on about these details? :boring:
 
It sold over a million on its first day.
