Final Fantasy Type-0 Sells 472k in First Week

[Kitmitsu]

Final Fantasy Type-0 has been out for a week in Japan and the sales for it’s first week have been released by Media Create. It’s managed to shift 472,253 units so far, approximately the same amount as Crisis Core sold on it’s first week. This puts it in the top spot for best selling game in Japan, followed by the new Kirby game and The Idolm@ster 2′s PS3 release.

What does this mean for us? Well the game is certainly a critical and commercial success. If anyone still had any doubts about Type-0 coming overseas, these numbers should hopefully put them to rest. Let’s hope Square thinks the same.

I really only think it's a matter of time. There was absolutely no official word about a Western release for say, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep until well after the game was released in Japan, and I would say that seemed less likely in general.

It means you bastards better BUY this game IF it ever gets released outside of Japan. But I'm pretty happy the game sold so well! Those numbers are phenomenal!

^^^^

I would be more surprised if they didn't release Type-0 in the west. It's only a matter of time...


....and I wouldn't mind Steve Blum as King, I think Square needs to take a hint from the pranksters and make this happen.

Good to hear. I never doubted this game's success in Japan.

As Ethan pointed out, we'll just have to play the waiting game for an overseas release.

I had to cancel my pre-order 'cause bills and shit and now they're sold out. lol ;;

They should investigate the piracy figures.

I don't know how reliable VGChartz is (you don't need to tell me the answer )
but according to them, the Crisis Core has sold over 2.8 million units, with 1.3 million coming from the Amuricas, and .8 million from Japan.

Granted that game had VII's legacy stapled all over it, but if Type-0 is following a similar success pattern in Japan, then obvioussllyyy they need to bank off the game here.

Oh Steve Blum, voice King and be a permanent edition to my party? Yeah? OK!


The stats.

[Death Penalty]

Welp, they've brought less successful games here before. I'm with the rest of you, I think it's only a matter of time before this sees us here in the West.

[Agent Dunham]

Y'all laughed at me! Y'ALL LAUGHED AT ME!

[Aurelia]

I never laughed at you Shannon, at least not for this reason in particular.
Oooh~ Say "y'all" again

[Agent Dunham]

Thank y'all so very, very much.
