Deserved.

That confirms that FFXV did hurt the franchise and a lot of people didn't buy FFXVI at launch due what happened with previous entry.
FFXV did 5 million at launch.

As much as I’d love to find a way to say that something as terrible as FF15 hurt the franchise…

FF16 has a lot to thank Ragnarok and Ps5 momentum for. For that reason alone I think it’s still difficult to predict sales. PS5 momentum might be something else.

Good sales numbers for a good game.

Ah, see... he's not all bad!

Great to see you compliment a non Xbox game.

3 million is great IMO, especially after all the worry and rumors. We need more Final Fantasy games, I hope Japan supported strongly, interested to see.

Lol, even the PS OT on era is complaining about how badly the other threads on that hellhole want this game to fail.
With it selling well it's kills the narrative Square was panicking about pre -orders which was dumb to begin with as it's pointless to pre-order these days unless it's a physical / special edition.

So happy about the sales. Currently have the standard edition cause I didn’t want to wait a few extra days for the deluxe.

Will get the deluxe edition later.

So did it sell more units at launch than multi platform FFXV?
The 5 millions for FFXV were shipped but the legs were terrible and physical copies had massive discounts quickly. Totally overshipped and that game was hyped for 10 years.

In context, FF16 is doing great and the actual copies sold might be close.
