Final Fantasy XVI sales in line with expectations
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
Even games that did well will sometimes comes up as a failure for Squenix, they've had insane expectations.
It is still behind Dead Island 2... less than 1 million in NPD for a FF game.... on the August chart even games released two years ago is selling better
Sold a lot in Japan? What? Japan it is where it more failed to sell... less than half of the worst seller FFs.
It is too much delusion... OMG.
I don't usually say this, but you have an EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY OBSESSION with wanting FF XVI to fail. You keep saying "it's just facts", but you don't keep repeating the same (often inaccurate, in your case) "facts" repeatedly unless there's a massive emotional investment on your part.
FF XVI not a game to your liking? Fine. But it's extremely weird to see you keep trying to harp on "this game's a failure" angle. At this point you're doing Xbot's jobs for them, for free, unironically. If you want to talk about a major release this year that looks like it's actually underperforming on the charts, focus on Starfield.
The opposite...
I like the game... I'm actually playing it yet and my last mini in progress-review was 8.5/10... you can look at OT what I think is good and what is bad in the game.
That just shows how you guys throw random comments when it is not of your liking.
The data shows the game did not good in sales... I can't change that.
When I'm quoted I will reply... that is simple.
No, you're seemingly on a crusade to paint the picture it's been a complete abject failure in sales, not that it's simply "underperformed a bit". If that were the case, you wouldn't be so incessant on repeating things at the level you've been doing when it comes to FF XVI sales.
Whether the game satisfied SE's targets or not, whether their high-end is what they really wanted all along, we don't know. But this is the same publisher that called Tomb Raider a failure at 6+ million copies sold in relatively record time. They aren't the most level-headed when it comes to having realistic expectations.
Whatever you think about in that biased view is fine.
But that won't change anything I said
I don't talk about sales with emotional attachment... I says what it is.
That is why you discuss the sales (facts) of game.
Ethomaz, chill bro. Being wrong on the internet isn't the worst thing that can ever happen to you. And make no mistake, you're wrong about FFXVI
Is he one of those who are salty it wasn't turn-based despite the series not actually being turn-based for some time?
How can it have underperformed if it was within their projections? Falling within the lower end of those (if true - no source on this yet) is performing as expected?
Nearly 3 months of sales for FFXVI, and yet still no sales news from Square Enix after 6 days of shipment figures.
Resident Evil 4 remake for example
2 days - 3m
2 weeks - 4m
3 months - 5m
Safe to say FFXVI is struggling to clear the initial shipment and leg isn't looking good at this moment.

It's not safe to say that. Not all pubs update as frequently as Capcom. In fact, most don't.
Square don’t give updates on sales that frequently, yall reach so hard
They don't own you updates. Some of you clowns were speculating spiderman had sold 15mil copies before they hit you with 30mil.
