Physical and digital sales of ~5 million copies worldwide.

This would be much better than my estimated number. Well I think it’s time that Square Enix drops the demo this week if they want to convince, the last doubting potential buyer.
It’s only 16 days until release.

I think 3 million in the first week, 5 million first month, 8 mil first 18 months, 15 million lifetime

Ah, the good old days.

There's no way FF 16 is selling 15 million

The gameplay is exactly what many people do like nowadays: simple Action Combat. If it’s a huge hit then it’s definitely possible. They will probably release also a major dlc at last.

There's no way this game sells 15 million even with what you listed. It would have to become a phenom like Monster Hunter or Elden Ring did.

Final Fantasy XVI has likely passed 10 million downloads!
This looks like a massive success for Sony.

Whoops edit. Probably means demo lol

 

[Eternal_Wings]

10 million before launch… i highly doubt it

Demo dude.

An actual survey if fans wish for more content or continuation for FFXVI. A direct sequel like FFXVI-2 would be possible!

 

[Eternal_Wings]

Yessssss!

I don't care, it's my personal GOTY.

Dion is the best character in the game. Would love to see a DLC about him along the lines of an Ignis episode with an alternate or extended ending.

Yeah feel you. If GotY Awards would be fair, FFXVI would win it.
