In a Japanese press release, Square Enix has announced that
Final Fantasy XIII has shipped 5 million copies worldwide. Surprisingly, 3 million of those copies were shipped outside of Japan. Of course, Square Enix isn't saying how many of those copies have been sold, so bear that in mind when marveling over these impressive numbers.
These 5 million
XIIIs, according to the release, bring the total number of shipped games in the
Final Fantasy series up to 96 million. How many of those were ports or remakes of the first
Final Fantasy, we wonder?
