Final Fantasy XIII is unsurprisingly shaping up to be a major hit, with the game, a PS3 exclusive in Japan, shipping over 1.8 million copies on its opening day.
Square Enix have practically staked their commercial reputation on the game, a move which seems entirely justified if these sales are anything to go by.
This total brings the Final Fantasy series to 92 million copies shipped – 100 million cannot be far off.
The international version has been delayed until March 2010 due to the belated decision to port the game to the Xbox 360; the Japanese version is available now.
Via Famitsu.
Who thought it would be this bad?

Hey if it was better than 12, I’ll buy it.
You know whats funny? Shooter players thinking those games take skill. Play fighters, those take skill. Not a twitchy right index finger.
Well, it’s not all about a twitchy right index finger, it’s about proper coordination. Same idea as being a pro Q3 player and being able to land snap-rails to the side or behind while moving at ridiculous speed. Each game type has its own idea of skill, except for casual games of course, which can suck my balls.
