No they simply wanted to make money from Final Fantasy again. Whatever you're drinking or smoking this morning, put it down..

You didn't even have to mention any names for me to know who you are talking about... didn't know he got banned, makes sense now,
Good sales for the week. See this pushing like 8-10M in about a year.

Doesn't make much sense with Game Pass, don't you think? They could do the player numbers, but then it goes: 'Lul, those are all 1 Dollar trials and 99% uninstalled it after 10 seconds'. It's better for everybody if they stay quiet.

Good, but not great. I also see this game being very front-loaded with sales and probably not exceeding 6-7M lifetime.

Imran Khan panicking right now that his concerned post is aging like spoiled milk.
It's a fantastic sale for FF16 considering the PS5 user base was hampered by the PS5 shortages. It will continue to sell well as more people get their hands on the console as it's one of the best RPGs ever on any console. Good word of mouth and excellent reviews will continue to boost sales.

I think this game will have legs. Sony should 100% do bundles with this game like they did for GoW: R.

Sony and SE are like hand and glove at this point.

Shipments people, not just sales.
In any case, decent performance. I'm not sure why people keep bringing up FFXV's multiplatform release when the supermajority of sales were on PS4 at launch, which wasn't too far ahead of where the PS5 is now in terms of sales, but I digress.

It doesn't matter that he deleted the tweet. We've got interviews from a producer, and Yoshida himself iirc about pre-orders not looking great prior to the demo.

Still very impressive sales.

At the very least, this will silence the port whiners who somehow thought the tide was going to change against the game for the PlayStation exclusivity.

3M copies of a ps5 exclusive game is the fastest selling ps5-only game so far.

This is what you call perspective.

Helps that they released a whole CGI movie before its release lol...and that it was on more than one platform and to a larger install base. Oh.. lets not forget, games were $60 then. and oh... 7 years between it and FF13.

There is a final fantasy bundle.
Initial shipments at this number has no indication of legs. If it's occupying shelves and quickly going on discount is the next sign to watch out for.

In Japan MediaCreate the range I guess is:
FF16 first week: 200-450K
PS5 hardware: 60-110K
By comparison for the same week:
Switch: 70-90K
Xbox Series: 125

Bro consistently had the first or second comment on those japan sales threads. It's like he wakes up every Thursday and just refreshes the site to post on that thread.

Given the ridiculous production values in this game, 3 million in sales is probably not profitable yet.
I do think the game will have a long tail. People are burned by FF13 and FF15, or too busy playing Zelda or Diablo, but positive word of mouth will eventually generate more sales.

Now its time to make FF17 and future FF on the Decima engine.

It's sales, not shipments, since it includes digital.

This game is much much more on a budget than every main entry that came before it and it's pretty obvious when playing it. If anything quite the contrary, I'm pretty confident that they widely broke even already long before the 3 ml mark.

Honestly that's the main reason I'd be in favor of Sony acquiring Square. Better tech sharing and tools

I think people don't acknowledge how cheap Japan is these days.
Yen is really low, wages aren't anywhere near as high as in California
So while it's impressive comparing FF16 to GoWR, it probably has a fraction of the budget despite being very high quality

The good ol days had FF7, FF8, Tactics, FF9, FF10 all came out from 1997-2001 Plus Square also released Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Parasite Eve.
Capcom also released like a million great fighters in the same time frame lol

Is this a joke comment?
One of the best gaming engine out should be used more by PS partners. Good thing PlayStation recently appointed someone from Guerilla to head of development strategy recently. I think Decima will be used more not only for 1st party but also close 3rd party partners like Square (Like Kojima studios) and Square can just use one of Sony PC port studios to port their games to PC since main-line FF is PlayStation and PC exclusive anyways.

The Horizon developer has restructured its leadership for the second time in three years…

So they have bigger plans for Decima than just for their studio

Decima would be perfect for square.
Horizon is basically the same style of game now, and FF could really improve their NPCs and Horizon tech is wizardry for that aspect

Yeah, that guy was a piece of shit fear monger. 3 million for a ps5 exclusive in under a week is insane! Man all the haters must be salty as fuckSquare Enix "panicking" about FFXVI sales be like:
