Final Fantasy XIII sold over one million copies in Japan during its first 24 hours of availability, according to estimates from publisher Square Enix.
The title is only available on PS3 in the region, and the sales estimate doesn’t include copies sold as part of hardware bundles, reports GameSpot.
Square Enix shipped around 1.8 million FFXIII units to retailers for launch, and previously forecast worldwide sales of six million copies. The game is due to release on March 9 in the west for both PS3 and Xbox 360.
Having debuted in 1987, lifetime Final Fantasy sales now stand at 92 million units, the publisher added.
