After a couple weeks of selling, it looks like the market is back in the buying mode. December numbers indicate there are undervalued stocks. We completely underestimated this one.
Wow, 4 million copies already? This is way beyond what I had predicted. It is a great game but I thought sales slowed down in December. FFXII could hit 6 million copies at this rate.
I would second the recommendations on this stock, and only add that Final Fantasy games tend to have very strong legs, and that this one hasn't even been released at all in Europe yet. I don't think 1.5 million to 2 million more sales is out of the question by any means.
The article zukaus submitted that Final Fantasy XII will be released in Europe on Feb 23 says Final Fantasy XII has already sold 4 million copies worldwide. This is well beyond what the market had been expecting for December sales and carry through in Japan as the stock has been pricing 4 million copies total. This is definitely a strong buy.
VGcharts data has Final Fantasy XII selling 1,026,000 copies in November, even higher than the estimate on the VE3D chart posted on Dec 12.
If we use these numbers combined with the 2.38 million sold in Japan already, we are already looking at 340 DKP. Combine with European sales and the fact that this game will sell well for at least a few more months, I think this can easily top 400 DKP.
Just submitted a story on November game sales. Says Final Fantasy XII was the top selling console game in November with 895,946 copies (not including Collector's Edition).
Combine this with the known 2.4 million copies sold in Japan, we're looking at 3.3 million copies sold already at least (this doesn't include Europe and more recent Japan sales). In light of this, 3.67 million copies lifetime worldwide estimate is too low.
The License Board builds off the Sphere Grid featured in Final Fantasy X. However, in XII, your characters don't only improve through the License Board--they also gain levels from experience points. Whenever you kill a mob, it gives you experience points and license points. You then use the license points to unlock abilities on the License Board. You can only unlock tiles adjacent to the tiles you've already unlocked. Most tiles enable you to use new equipment (like training to use a sword or armor) or spell (there are 5 schools of magic in FFXII). There are also other buffs like +500 HP or reduce time to cast by 10% on the License Board.
