The name that backs up the title and positive word of mouth propelled Final Fantasy XIII as the fastest selling title not only in the Final Fantasy series but also in the whole of UK for the year 2010.

The Final Fantasy franchise has been one of the biggest series to hit the gaming world ever. With the tremendous and industry-changing impact of Final Fantasy VII, people expected much from the subsequent titles, aside from the relative commercial failure of the 11th title in the series, all other installments from the franchise did not fail neither critics nor gamers.

The year’s just starting and it may be too soon to tell it’s position for this year, not to mention that God of War III is challenging the game’s commercial supremacy.

“It’s great to see Final Fantasy XIII hitting the top of the UK charts and setting the pace as the fastest selling game of the year … With high profile TV spots playing out beyond Easter and branded buses still travelling the country I’m positive this title is only going to get bigger and bigger.” said Jon Brooke, the UK Marketing Director of the said game. I think we all agree that this guy deserves a pat on the back.

Germany also has Final Fantasy XIII is also at the top of its game in the country, being the fastest and biggest selling console game. Did we mention that the French people are also big fans of the game, joining UK and Germany in their appreciation of the console giant?
