Declined successDo we not have enough facts to declare FFXVI a success?
Declined successDo we not have enough facts to declare FFXVI a success?
It sounds like PSG strategy lol.I tuned into an xbox fanboy podcast to see what they even talk about anymore. According to them xbox is firing on all cylinders at the moment, sony is in decline, gamepass is growing left right and center, and Microsoft should buy square enix. Those are real quotes by the way. Oh and Japan wants a new regime to take over, IE xbox.
PS4 - XB1 = 1.8 millionI don't get it. 600k difference = far better than previous console
More than a million difference - around the same level as previous console
This will make fanboys really butthurt:
Hold on. Let me ask xbox twitter warriors and podcasts firstDo we not have enough facts to declare FFXVI a success?
Nah it was a failure for hardcore fans but turns out 90% of gamers are casualThe showcase “failure” turned out to be just FUD
I found the show pretty goodThe showcase “failure” turned out to be just FUD
You still in denial that the Showcase sucked? Who are you trying to convince?The showcase “failure” turned out to be just FUD
That's not going against the data we have. The data we have suggests strong sales when contextualized properly. Nearly every source, including Square themselves, have said this.I don't understand why you guys go against the data we have but anyway.
The sales are lower than previous entries even if you exclude Xbox from the equation.
We have actual sales data from Square Enix that says the opposite lolThat's not going against the data we have. The data we have suggests strong sales when contextualized properly. Nearly every source, including Square themselves, have said this.

With 38 million PS5 consoles shipped globally (as of March 31, 2023), sales of Final Fantasy 16 surpassed three million units worldwide several days after its release on June 22, 2023,” Square Enix said.
“Taking into consideration the sales figures of the acclaimed Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the difference in size of the install base of the PlayStation 4 at the time of this title’s release, we can see that the attach rate of Final Fantasy 16 is considerably high, given the PS5 install base.
“Square Enix considers the initial sales results of Final Fantasy 16 to be extremely strong, and we will continue to carry out a wide range of initiatives to encourage even more people to play the game.”
Jesus christ dude, you're the biggest reality denier on this forum. You make Adamsnipple seem like a sane person.
Square Enix Responds to Final Fantasy 16 Sales Concern, Points to PS5 Install Base - IGN
Square Enix has insisted sales of Final Fantasy 16 are “extremely strong”, telling IGN the game has sold well relative to the PlayStation 5 install base.www.ign.com
So why did you quote me when I said we have official numbers that says the opposite?How does that go against what I said? It's literally in the quote I dropped .

But we have actual sales data that shows the opposite...Gee, I wonder why. Let's contextualize, shall we?
@Swolf712 said the following (emphasis mine):
Then you said this, because you're in complete denial:
This is blatantly false, as demonstrated by Square's own comments, which I added as a quote. To clarify, you either ignore reality or take things out of context because you lack the ability to acknowledge you're wrong. I'll quote again, with the appropriate emphasis, just in case you're lost:
It can't be clearer than this.
But we have actual sales data that shows the opposite...

Plus the Square Enix financials hints they didn't even break even with FFXVI and it hurts a lot their profits.
Somethings is cleary off bettween what PR Square said and the results they shows.
