They're higher than X's third week sales and X is the second most popular FF game.

Quote :: The Japanese even went out of their way to break their discs and post pictures of it on 2Chan, that's how much they hated it.

So are you telling me that a bunch of fans acting so dramatically is better proof than the numbers?
What do the reviewers actually say about this game?

BTW,

Yeah, the same website that's frequent by most Japan?

Yeah, I'd say that's more proof than just business sales.

Besides Famitsu? The reviews weren't pretty.

Hmm, I found a translated japanese review. http://www.makonako.net/2009/12/final-fantasy-xiii-review-without-spoiler.html

Quote :: Depends on your playing time and endurance. If you abandon the game at prologue, you would say it is rubbish. If you can endure until middle stage and enjoy all those stuff not related to the story, that worth 10 points.

So XIII worth 10 points?

No.

Why?

People who abandon the game at prologue have their point. It's okay for a 2 to 3 hours prologue. But 20 hours is a problem and that should be blamed.

There's been a teaser for Versus out for ages.
