For Sony, it seems like titles in theFinal Fantasyseries and their console sales are forever intertwined. We saw it with the PlayStation andFinal Fantasy VII, and then later withFinal Fantasy Xand the PS2. And if hunches turn out to be true, the same has happened with the PS3 andFinal Fantasy XIII…or its demo.
Sinobisays thatFinal Fantasy VII Advent Children Comlete‘s Blu-ray package may have pushed sales up to a record breaking 57,000 this past week, the launch week of the movie. As you know, this movie came packaged with the Final Fantasy XIII demo, which it seems like all of Japan was waiting on. For comparison’s sake,Kotakusays that the PS3 sales for the week before were 16,701 units. That’s quite a jump, isn’t it?
To know for sure, we’ll have to wait for Media Create’s numbers, which are due out sometime today. Be sure to keep an eye out as Destructoid’s own impressions of this package and theFinal Fantasy XIIIdemo are coming soon.
