The Anti-Fantasy

[Bolivar]

Now I'm wondering if Final Fantasy XIII or Skyrim sold better in the West. Pretty good point, Spuuky

FFXIII sold over one million copies in North America on its release month, Skyrim sold 3.4 million copies in two days.

So they're getting the living trout beaten out of them.

Next time somebody is hating on FF, I'll mention this tidbit to them.

It needs to be emphasized that Skyrim is the only WRPG selling at this level and it did so only after Bethesda either streamlined or eliminated many of the franchise staples that actually made it an RPG. Even then, it catapulted it to a Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto level of cross over success that transcends genre debates, at a number Final Fantasy never sold at, even in its prime.
