The Lessons Not Learned.

[Midareyukki]

I don't know many people that will call XIII anything but hot garbage. I've not bothered to look into its sales, but I know I would rather get a lead injection to the dome than play that game again.

Yikes .__.

Also, on wht you said, FF13's sales were actually a record holder. Quoting from Wikipedia, "Selling 1.7 million copies in Japan in 2009, Final Fantasy XIII became the fastest-selling title in the history of the series". The issue is that the sales happened around the time critics were praising the game. The backlash happened afterward, and the image of 13 sank since. In fact, the sales being a record prompted Square to greenlight two sequels... unfortunately they didn't expect the fans to be the ones receiving it poorly.
