My thoughts on FFXV sales

My heart says: 10m easy!
My head says: this isnt going over 8m (atleast not in the first year).

I agree with "realistic" expectations.

 

I think the PC version will play an instrumental part in boosting sales during 2017 (Assuming this comes out). There is plenty of opportunity here to appeal to the Square Enix fan base on PC, repeat sales and general PC fanbase.

Sounds about right! Although I do expect FFXV to clear 1.5m LT in Japan with something like 1.1-1.2m FW. Also the collector's edition sold out within minutes not days!

 

That would really be very impressive in Japan. Still a bit early to call it but I think somwhere near to 1 million would be realistic.

The 30,000 limited editions of FFXV was sold out in a matter of 30min. I was one of them :P

Your prediction on sales seems realistic and justifiable but I hope that this game can sell beyond 10M units.

Went back to see sales of other previous FF games and I'm more shocked that FFIX has only sold 5.3M units! Being the best FF game (that's right I said it) to date it deserved more sales than that.

I thought it was just the US version that sold out straight away and the EU/JPN versions took a couple of days?
