Blu-ray release of FF Advent Children, with included FFXIII demo, sees Sony trump opposition
Never doubt the appetite for all things Final Fantasy in Japan – sales of PS3 rocketed last week after the arrival of a playable demo of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII on the Blu-ray release of CGI movie Final Fantasy: Advent Children Complete.
Sales of Sony’s machine hit 62,527, up a massive 274 per cent on the week before. All other consoles, in contrast, saw week-on-week sales decline.
Sony’s PSP was the second best selling machine, with unit sales reaching 40,065 (-2 per cent). Closely behind was the DSi with 38,287 sales – if the 6,438 sales of DS Lite were added then Nintendo’s machine would win the weekly portable hardware battle.
Wii shifted 13,221 units (-1 per cent), the Xbox 360 8,652 units (-14.62 per cent) and the PS2 4,320 units (-7 per cent).

Damn!!!
wow, this just for a demo, imagine when the actual game comes out.
!!!!!!
i know right. I bet microsoft must be pissed off with these sales.
FFXIII
This is piquing my interest in FF games. I've never played one FF game despite owning all 3 playstation consoles. I could never get past the crappy haircuts and the fact all the male characters look so incrediby gay. I might give this a look on release...
FFVII #2
cell989: Yeah, with a Final Fantasy VII remake the PS3 will definitely win this generation.
FFXIII
I don't know how many times I have to say this, but Japanese gamers love Final Fantasy. Not only that but they love it on Sony's console. I am expecting the PS3 version to sell over a million copies in Japan in the first couple of days of its release. It will be the best selling ps3 game this year. Until god of war comes out that is. :)
FFXIII
the best part is that there is no plans for a Japanese release of FFXIII on the xbox 360. so if the jap territory is buying that many consoles for the demo. and it only being out on the PS3 in japan. there could be a serious sales boom for the PS3 when that game is released.
Over here however i dont think its gonna make much difference with the 360 still the cheaper entry based console. i just dont get why people who have 3 xbox's just in case 1 breaks don't think to themselves wait a min thats stupid.
