Only 4 days after the official launch of Final Fantasy XIII in Japan, SquareEnix broke the Japanese PS3 sales record with 1,501,964 units sold according to Media Create. This is more than twice as many copies as the previous record holder, Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4), sold until today.
The release also boosted the sales of PS3s in Japan by 215.75%.
It seems like SquareEnix gave themselves a nice present for Christmas, as well as one for one and a half million Japanese people. Unfortunately everyone in Europe and America have to wait until the 9th of March for the release of the localized versions. Pre-ordering is highly recommended to anyone who wants the game within weeks after the release date.
