Following our preliminary day one data from last week which showed nearly 800,000 units sold on day one, we now have preliminary week one data (week ending 13th March 2010) and total Final Fantasy XIII sales have hit 1.2 million units across the Americas and Other Regions, taking the worldwide total to over 3 million when including the PS3 launch in Japan late last year.

Worldwide, 61% of units sold were on PS3 and 39% on Xbox360 - Microsoft's console actually increasing in share from launch day to the full week. As mentioned in last week's pre-order data, VGChartz expects sales to be far more even between consoles following initial launch as casual consumers are likely to buy the game roughly in the ratio of hardware install base whereas the core Final Fantasy fans who pick the game up in week one (and day one in particular) will have more of a Playstation bias as the Final Fantasy series is more synonymous with the Sony brand.

Breaking down by region, over 680,000 units were sold in the Americas with 57% on PS3 and over 520,000 in Other Regions (Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Oceania) with 66% on PS3.

Check back later in the week for finalised week one data and the effect on hardware sales and VGChartz Final Fantasy XIII review will be posted later today.
