Previous released FFs games... I mean it is obvious... do you want to compare FFXVI sales with I don't know (chose any game here)?

Ive given you plenty of reasons why it’s a useless comparison but you choose to ignore them and focus on a flawed argument.

So clearly you are not interested in anything other than if X doesn’t sell as much as Y at launch it’s sales are in decline if I ignore everything from install base, platforms, physical/digital split, FFremakevsMainline split, completely different eras (currently post pandemic and now inflation era) and on and on. The sales were and are amazing and people are enjoying the game.. that matters more. If you understood how box office works and perceptions you’d see that legs and enjoyment matters way more than initial numbers out the gate. Just look at cyberpunk… it did big numbers out the gate and then died quickly.

There is nothing to discuss if you goes agains fact to begin... the launch sales for the franchise are lower than previous games.
What we can discuss is the reason for that but you guys keep dodging it

Let's try again?

Why do you believe that FFXVI sales declined?

PS. I disagree with you notion in the second part.. launch sales mattter more to publishers and the health of a franchise than legs.... legs help to increase populatiry for a second game but if launch sales are not good enough you are fadded to not have a second game... so it is more important to the business.

Not good enough according to who? You? SQ is happy with them and knee jerk reactions like yours that it has outsell everything before it or it’s a failure are just ridiculous.

Are you trolling, no?
Acept the reality first... so we can discuss.

You should ask yourself.. according to you launch sales in week one (which were very good) are all that matter.. everything after is fake news and not real money. If you want to ignore everything and focus on one small data set than just go to IB or reee if you aren’t there already.

If you want to talk about future sales I said that maybe FFXVI can put better lights for lifetime sales or FFXVII release.
But that won't change the actual launch sales... for the franchise it underperfomed.

So even if it sells more than the previous game your stance will still be that it doesn’t count because for some reason you think launch sales should be a separate entity.. it’s such a bizarre quibble for a supposed “fan of the game” to be having.

Exactly. The dev team is going around throwing party's talking about dlcs. Throwing concerts. Such a failure. A failure it's pretty easy to spot when comes to Sony. They pretty much stop or lower the marketing budget. Games like the order and days gone went radio silence after release.
Ffxvi looks like it didn't have nowhere near the budget of any high profile Sony first party and its there shoulder to shoulder in sales with games like ghost, death stranding etc. The stupid debate should end when they anounce a massive 3 mil sales in a week.

FFXVI down 36% against FF7R.
FFXVI down 40% against FFXV(Physical only and probably more than 50% with digital sales).

 

[Nhomnhom]

Would've sold more as a PS/PC exclusive with Sony pushing it harder and they would have to develop for only 3 platforms instead of 5.

You think digital games sell proportionality less now than they did 8 years ago? Makes no sense.

For Big Japanese video games, only Street Fighter 6 did pitifully little on Xbox that couldn't have been covered with PS4/5/PC focus and tighter Sony co-marketing as @Nhomnhom suggested.

And that's after all the crying people who chose to stick with only Xbox did about SFV "failing" (8 million units sold and tons of revenue off MTX & DLC btw) due to being a PS4 console exclusive. Now imagine all the 1 million (most after a sale & steep discounts) total sales a FF game would do lifetime on Xbox after years of painful crying.

Comparing final fantasy with pokemon now?

Pokemon is rated E ( for everyone) and 16 is M ( Mature)

Man youre a joke

 

[Danja]

Final Fantasy has expanded though? What's happened is it's lost a huge chunk of it's Japanese fanbase? But it recouped that by now expanding in the west.

If sales were still as good in Japan we'd be seeing 1.5 - 1.8 million first week sales in Japan ... That's where he decline is, not that the franchise failed to expand.
