That sure is a staggering amount. Where is Halo at? Nice foot shooting with the FFXIII numbers.

13 million’s a hell of a lot. Pachter said 9 million, iirc. Mind you, from the level of hype it’s getting now, nothing would surprise me.

Given it’s multiplatform… I could see it getting close.
Oh, and nice job on the FFXIII numbers (lol).

Q3 09 in Europe, that. Mark my words.

Yeah, there’s no chance of FFXIII this year. Not even in Japan.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them do a demo for Christmas over there, though. Sony will probably be begging them for it.

Hope so. It looks amazing from trailers so far.
