- By the numbers: Revenant sells, Itadaki smells
 Square Enix recently published some figures revealing sales of Revenant Wings, Itadaki Street DS, and anticipated remake Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, all over the first six-month period of 2007. What are the numbers? Well, Final Fantasy XII sequel Revenant Wings came in first with 520,000 copies, followed by The War of the Lions with 310,000 copies and Itadaki with 280,000. No surprises here: Revenant Wings reviewed solidly and followed up a stellar title, Lion War was purportedly plagued with several loading issues, and as for Itadaki DS...well...Itadaki Street has never been potent enough to receive a localization. Better luck next time. Jeuxfrance
