FINAL FANTASY XIII Fastest Selling Title In The Franchise In The UK

On the 19th of March 2010, Square Enix Europe were pleased to announce that FINAL FANTASY XIII has become the fastest selling title in the FINAL FANTASY franchise history in the UK and also the fastest selling UK game of 2010 so far.

News came fresh from the announcement on the 19th that the total units sold had exceeded five million worldwide which now brings the total number of shipments of the FINAL FANTASY series to a colossal 96 million units since the launch of FINAL FANTASY I over two decades ago.

The UK Marketing Director Jon Brooke had this to say about the recent news. “It’s great to see FINAL FANTASY XIII hitting the top of the UK charts and setting the pace as the fastest selling game of the year. With high profile TV spots playing out beyond Easter and branded buses still travelling the country I’m positive this title is only going to get bigger and bigger.”

The FINAL FANTASY series stands out among its competitors thanks to its continuous evolution. Only the best creative ideas, the best graphics standards and the best gameplay systems, which are available at the time when a new part in the series is developed, are included in the game. So naturally this tradition has been continued in FINAL FANTASY XIII.
