On April 16, Blu-ray flick Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete went on sale. Included was something many Japanese gamers had been waiting for: the Final Fantasy XIII demo.

If early data is correct, the movie provided a boast to PS3 sales in The Land of the Rising Sun. The week before FFVII: ACC was released in Japan, PS3 sales were 16,701 units. Apparently, the week FFVII: ACC launch, PS3 sales bounced up to 57,000 units — which could put the PS3 at the top of the charts.

Expect official confirmation when official numbers are released tomorrow.
