Even despite some controversy, Final Fantasy XIII is selling well. Square Enix sent word today that the RPG has sold more than a million units in North America, in the five days following its March 9 launch. This makes it set the record for the best first-week sales in Final Fantasy history, which is no small feat considering the pedigree. The name still carries a lot of weight, even as the game is facing some negative feedback based on its departure from the traditional tropes of Japanese RPGs.

The news comes on the heels of last week’s announcement that the company had shipped 3 million units to North America and Europe alone, helping the series as a whole cross 96 million units. The game is still readily available in stores and Square is shipping to retailers, so we should see a strong showing in the March NPD data. We may even find a tight race between it and PS3-exclusive God of War 3 for the month’s top seller.

Playing God of War III can be dangerous business, it seems. Witness one player who apparently got so into the game that they actually managed to break their hand in the process.

Gizmodo has the x-ray, which was sent to them by a physician saying that one of their patients go so “caught up in playing God of War III that he rolled over his hand with his knee and broke two fingers.” The unnamed physician said that it was the first time he had seen “such an extreme gaming injury.”

It’s actually difficult to imagine how this might have occurred. Maybe the injury occurred after he had set down the controller to watch a cutscene?

Dragon Age: Origins Awakening just dropped this week. Mass Effect 2 is still shy of two months old. That said, many fans are already wondering what’s next for Bioware. UGO’s Tracey John caught up with vice president Dr. Greg Zeschuk and CEO Dr. Ray Muzyka at GDC last week and picked their brains about the future of Bioware’s role-playing franchises.

“We’re planning for 17 games,” joked Dr. Ray when asked how many Dragon Age sequels to expect. “Well, both Dragon Age and Mass Effect are franchises so they have different strategies and different kinds of story arcs but we plan on continuing to make games and worlds and expanding on those worlds in both franchises,” the CEO added, continuing, “Both in different ways, but we want to continue to provide content to fans, whether that be separate games or new adventures that have very different kinds of gameplay. So we have some cool stuff for both of them that we’re exploring that’ll be fun and different for the fans, and yet in a familiar setting at the same time.

Dr. Greg tossed in his thoughts on sequels, as well. “In the case of Dragon Age, it’s exciting because there’s this whole timeline and geography,” explained the Bioware creative officer. “So with Mass Effect, we’re constantly thinking about the trilogy. But with Dragon Age, it’s more open and you can put more all over the place. Seventeen… Sixty-six? Infinite! Infinite games for the Dragon Age universe! (laughs)”
