Final Fantasy III Exceeds Square Enix Expectations

The good news for Final Fantasy III just keeps on coming in! It looks like the game has now passed the 500,000 units sold mark! At first it was thought that they only shipped 450,000 units but it seems that was incorrect. Square Enix only expected 350,000 games sold this week so they are impressed. The numbers aren’t exactly confirmed yet. Confirmed numbers will be published in the Japan Monthly Sales post on September 7th.

This is good news for third parties considering many of them felt that it was hard to sell a lot on the DS. There are very few third party PSP games that have achieved over 500,000 sales. FF3 might be the first third party title to break 1 million in Japan since Tamagotchi Corner Shop.
