Square targets six million sales of FFXIII
Monster RPG raring to go.
Square Enix boss Yoichi Wada reckons the company can sell more than six million copies of Final Fantasy XIII worldwide.
Speaking to Reuters Japan in comments picked up by Kotaku, Wada also said he wants Dragon Quest IX to break the five-million barrier in Japan, which he thinks it will do this year.
Final Fantasy XIII is due out for PS3 in Japan on 17th December, and will be released for PS3 and Xbox 360 simultaneously in the West in spring 2010.
Check out our most recent Final Fantasy XIII hands-on to find out what to expect, and look out for our review of the Japanese version at the end of the year.

This'll be the game I finally buy a PS3 for. Hopefully that FFXIII-themed console will wing its way over here.

Also it's not coming to 360 in Japan so might be a big ask!

I'm not saying that the DS is not a great system, but I think that if the PS3 and Xbox 360 were on top, we might see more games from japanese developers for those two consoles. Thinking back to the days of SNES and even N64, it was always nice to be able to play games with very obvious japanese roots.
Maybe I am romanticising it, but I really miss the days of quirky games from yesteryear.

not so sure; RE is extremely big outside of japan, and that's where most of these sales come from. FF is very popular in japan, but more of a niche game for the rest of the world. 6 million is very, very optimistic

well,Final Fantasy 12 has apparently sold 5.2 million,and that was only on the PS2(that was in March 2007)
i still think they will do it,we are not talking first year or anything are we,we are talking eventually(and worldwide)

That is quite high IMHO. One in nine console owners buying it? FF is not *that* popular.

and yes the PS2 had a bigger install base than 360 and PS3(which are about 50 million now)...but you can quote me if you wish,this game will beat 6 million sales...EASY!!,LOL
