Enterbrain (http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20091221-00000023-oric-ent) puts Final Fantasy XIII (http://kotaku.com/tag/finalfantasyxiii/) sales at over 1.5 million over the course of the game's first four days on Japanese store shelves, selling through a major portion of the reported 1.8 million copies shipped. About 1.1 million of those are apparently from day one sales (http://kotaku.com/5429389/final-fantasy-xiiis-first+day-sales-numbers-are-in).
The boon to the PlayStation 3? Some 240,000 plus consoles sold in one week, including that fancy Lightning Edition PS3 (http://kotaku.com/5366512/first-look-at-the-final-fantasy-xiii-playstation-3) released alongside the exclusive-in-Japan role-playing game. That's a considerable spike, as the previous week's figures, according to sales tracker Media Create, shows some 75,000 PlayStation 3s sold in Japan (http://kotaku.com/5429904/wii-dominance-continues-in-japan-ps3-dominance-due-shortly) the week before FF13 hit.
