02/16/2006: "Dirge of Cerberus Sales Drop Off in Japan"

This is a little bit out of date, but still worth noting: Joystiq reported today that despite a healthy first week of sales (392,000 units sold in Japan), Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII slipped to seventh place the following week with sales of only 45,000. Undoubtedly, one reason for the decline in sales may have to do with the lackluster reviews the game has received thus far-- including one by the highly-respected Japanese game magazine Famitsu that was delayed for three weeks.

International release plans for DC have yet to be announced. We'll keep on top of any new developments as they occur.
