The RPG went on sale in Japan first last year selling 1.85 million units. It later went on sale in early March of this year in the west, with the US outselling Europe by 1.79 million copies to the latter’s 1.77 million.

In related news, Final Fantasy XIII Versus is under construction, and may be heading for a multiplatform release.

Despite all press, official announcements and trailers pointing to to FFXIII Versus being a PS3 exclusive, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has said that the possibility for a multiplatform release is being considered.

Wada said, “”We’ll be looking into it internally until right before the formal announcement.”

Presumably, ‘formal announcement’ refers to a proper unveiling of Final Fantasy XIII Versus, which could hopefully roll around at E3.
