And a higher price tag

And a bullshit racism narrative

That is a weird point... ~4.5m from these 5 million come from PS4.

It is undeniable that FF name is not in the same postiion today as when they released FFXV.
They need to build the franchise to that point again.

we can make loads of correlations which wouldn't mean causation, or would it?

most probably biggest thing is, like always, how good was your last game? FF15 in medium was flawed game. so there it is. lower sales.

Exactly... lifetime and next main line sales will be more telling.
Word of mouth is good for FFXVI (the opposite of FFXV) that can lead lifetime sales to have better legs than what FFXV had and of course build a new base of day one buyers for FFXVII.

IMO Square Enix is in the right path but you can't expect the have better initial sales after FFXV disaster... people that brought FFXV at launch and hated it will probably wait to buy FFXVI... that is expected.

Fastest selling PS5 exclusive to date NOICE!

The hit pieces from xbots, pc and even switch(lol) fanboys failed. Sony players stay winning.. GOTY for me!

Damn FFXVI started very strong on a significantly smaller compared platform then it was the case with FF7R.

Love to see it

A record it will hold until Niche-Man 2 releases a few months from now.

So much for panicking.

Trashera trying real hard to downplay these numbers. They’re so mad. Mostly Nintendo drones I bet.

No
It's just the green bots trying so hard to downplay the numbers

No

Not just them

Oh it’s definitely Nintendo fanboys too.. they won’t even change the title from shipped to sold on IB.. the cope is real

Final Fantasy XVI ships 3m units worldwide

Looks like we are getting a PR after all. As usual, it's retail shipments + digital. https://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/202306280053/ Unfortunately, the PR doesn't provide any further details (regional breakdown or anything), though there's this blurb in the Gamer article: The company intends to...

The initial sales shows a decline in day one buyers and that can only be worked with time in the hope the FFXVI increase again the sales of the franchise.
The real show of what FFXVI did is after years from now and peharps only FFXVII will really tell if FFXVI was sucessful in build a strong franchise again.
FFXV was a disaster for the franchise and that is showing now.

15 is 15 and 16 is 16

I rather not drag this into 15

Lets just celebrate 16 success for now

These never work, doesn’t matter the side. Nobody boycotts stuff because it’s or isn’t diverse. One day people will realize this.

 

[KnittedKnight]

Quality sells. Great numbers.

Yeah this has to be the saltiest shithole on the internet right now. Fiendcode in there ready to downplay whatever number was reported.

3 mil is amazing - will go on to sell 10mil plus. Boycotts failed, exclusivity was the right choice, cry more.

A little perspective for these Nintendrones and Xbots.



COD 2022 broke all records for Activision and it sold 4.4 millions cross-gen on Playstation. FF16 did more than 3 millions in less time.

 

[Kokoloko]

-Fasting selling PS5 exclusive?
-Sold more than FF15 which was multiplatform in its first week

All good news
