Japanese Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 Sales Bomb, Plus Charts

The Xbox 360 “International” Version of Final Fantasy XIII has performed poorly in Japan, selling less than 22,579 units in its first week and failing to place in the top 20.

That may probably be due to the PS3 version of FF XIII being released a year earlier in Japan.

The ‘International’ version of FFXIII features English speech (not Japanese) and a new Easy Mode.

Here’s the Japanese sales charts:
