Summer will always hurt game sales, there is a reason so many launch in oct, nov just before massive holiday all over the world, thats shopping season guaranteed.Well let's hope it's one of their main Black Friday / winter bundles as well. I know they'll be pushing Spiderman 2 hard, so hope FF 16 gets some of that love.
GOOD THING! This post is about the UK first two weeks of sales. No one gives a shit about your first week aggregate.3mil in a week is fantastic. No one cares what you considered good or not. That's more than loads of games lifetime sales. Also remake comes with nostalgic luggage. Acting like both games have the same legacy is stupidly dumb
Let's see the lifetime sales first. You just saying decline like it sold a million copies. Ignoring factors that made ffxv have better launch. If wasn't for the fx13 hype it would let sales half of that. Also ff15 was over shipped . But I guess that doesn't count. Ffxvi is already more successful. Short dev time cheaper and sold 90% of the shipment at launch. So yeah. Let's see if damage the brand.That doesn't change the sales lol
I mean you are just looking for excuses to not accept the sales are in decline.
Like I said we can discuss the reason but not deny the facts.
Game probably close to 4mil if not there already. Don't be daft. If a game that sold that much is in trouble. We might as well close the shopGOOD THING! This post is about the UK first two weeks of sales. No one gives a shit about your first week aggregate.
I'm not sure what are you saying at all.Let's see the lifetime sales first. You just saying decline like it sold a million copies. Ignoring factors that made ffxv have better launch. If wasn't for the fx13 hype it would let sales half of that. Also ff15 was over shipped . But I guess that doesn't count. Ffxvi is already more successful.

This is nonsense. It happened? Like what the game stop selling? Is there a bargain bin I'm missing? Sold a million copies less than the other mainline while $10 more expensiveI'm not sure what are you saying at all.
Lifetime sales won't change launch sales decline... it happened... it is past... and it is imutable... no matter how anybody wish or don't acept them it won't change.
I have no ideia what you are talking about.This is nonsense. It happened? Like what the game stop selling? Is there a bargain bin I'm missing? Sold a million copies less than the other mainline while $10 more expensive
Over 200.000k in revenue first week if the average was 70 which isn't. Is a lot higher than that. Your concern is nonsense
You are literally ignoring loads of factsI have no ideia what you are talking about.
What lifetime sales have to do with launch sales decline?
Selling copies at $10 is the same as full priced?
You even mistake concern with facts... there is no concern at all... there is facts.
I brought FFXVI at day one... did you? I'm not part of the decline no matter how you believe of my concern.
Wait where besides from Steam does it sell?In case these UK were the same in the rest of the world, in Steam it has 17367 reviews, which with the 'reviews x 25' estimation method Steam sales would be 434175, and if Steam is let's say 85% of PC sales then SF6 PC sales would be 510794 units.
And if sold that in PC and if PC are 23% of the sales then the total SF6 worlwide sales would be 2220843 so far (so let's say 2.2M). PS5 sales would be 52% (1.15M), PS4 would be 7% (155.5K) and Xbox Series would be 17% (377.5K).
So between PS sales would be 3.45 times the XBox ones.
P.S.: Take these numbers with a grain of salt, they are only very rough and weak estimations.

I don't buy this, sorry. This is ant a regular game. It's a Tentpole game with fanbase and hype. I just don't PS5 is the software mover PS4 was unfortunately.Summer will always hurt game sales, there is a reason so many launch in oct, nov just before massive holiday all over the world, thats shopping season guaranteed.
Summer is travel season.
Still has no correlation to the UK sales data I'm talking about... So who is being daft here?Game probably close to 4mil if not there already. Don't be daft. If a game that sold that much is in trouble. We might as well close the shop
You are right. I was talking as a whole. Regardless selling 36% less than a classic isn't something to snot about. If you want to pretend 16 is on the same table as 7 go offStill has no correlation to the UK sales data I'm talking about... So who is being daft here?
when FF7R was release, how many PS4 was on market? and how many when FF16 release? 36% is really nothing special. people clinging on it, it just over negative.You are right. I was talking as a whole. Regardless selling 36% less than a classic isn't something to snot about. If you want to pretend 16 is on the same table as 7 go off
There is only 38 million ps5. Over 10% of ps5 owners bought ff16.I don't buy this, sorry. This is ant a regular game. It's a Tentpole game with fanbase and hype. I just don't PS5 is the software mover PS4 was unfortunately.
3 blockbusters released within 3 weeks. you want it or not, it lowers the sales.There is only 38 million ps5. Over 10% of ps5 owners bought ff16.
Also its not what you want to buy, games selling less during summer is a FACT:

I know you keep dooming about the sales but FF16 is still number 1 on PSN 3 weeks after release. It's selling better than Diablo, NBA 2k24 preorders, Spider-Man 2 preorders and Jedi Survivor.
Let's wait for some PR from Square before saying it underperformed.
"X game sells a 1mil copies after a year"The same people constantly talking about how much they dislike the game are the same people harping on about its sales numbers lol
