I'm actually a little bit disappointed in this stock right now. In its fourth week, the game only sold 24K in Japan, bringing the total to about 450K (source from Media Create). Comparing that to FFIII, it has sold 660-670K after four weeks, selling roughly 60K in its fourth week. And comparing it to its predecessor, FFXII already sold over 2M in its fourth week, albeit on a different platform.
The figures for FFXII:RW feels weak. With the popularity of the Final Fantasy brand, and the strong sales of FFIII, I would expect RW to sell like hot cakes.
Maybe it's because of the RTS, I don't know.
Whether it will make 2M seems largely dependent on sales in other regions now, because if this trend continues, it might even struggle to make a million within Japan.
