Japanese Gamers Love Final Fantasy, It's True.

That means that practically everyone living in the country stopped what they were doing, cancelled work, and went and bought a copy. Well, maybe not everyone in the country - but at least 1million, as early indications suggest sales for the game were strong in its first 24 hours. The 1million figure does not factor in sales for the special bundled Playstation 3 hardware, so expect the numbers to be a little higher.

And as for Playstation 3 hardware - we're expecting a gentle bump in the region thanks to the bundled system and general PS3-hype nation-wide.

We wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 did upwards of 150,000 this week in Japan.
