Square Enix are getting closer to catching up with their sales though, with both Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Dissidia: Final Fantasy posting very respectable numbers.

It just won't manage it. Unless we're talking single-game sales, which is only somewhat possible if the hype for FFXIII Agito goes through the roof pre-launch. We'll see if it'll be able to beat 2G...
