Are the FFXIII figures just for the PS3 or do they include multi-platform sales?
of course ffxiii will be the best selling game, it’s been multiplatform.
Why is mw2 not on tha list it is still selling big amounts of the game?
These are sales for ps3 only. Japan is most likely the cause for the high FFXIII sales.
