Final Fantasy XIII rockets Japanese PS3 sales
Sony has reported a surge of PS3 sales which, by no mere coincidence, occured during the launch of Square Enix’s highly-anticipated RPG, Final Fantasy XIII.
In fact, during the week of the launch, which occured December 17, Sony sold over 240,000 PlayStation 3 units.
Final Fantasy XIII will be released in other territories on March 9, 2010, but in Japan the game remains a PS3-exclusive. Final Fantasy game launches are always big news in Japan, and undoubtedly Japanese consumers are snatching up Sony’s console in order to play the new game.
