Forums - Sony Discussion - How much will FFXV Sell Lifetime in Japan?

Final Fantasy is a system seller. If  i remember correctly, Final Fantasy 13 moved 500.000 plus PS3s at the week of release.

If the game is a summer 2016 release in Japan like it's speculated to be, the PS4 won't be at 4m by that time. Even considering the fact that FFXV will sell consoles.

Edit:

As for my prediction, I think the game will sell 1.2m FW and go on to sell around 1.7m LT.

 I'm not saying it'll reach 4M, but the userbase in the release date won't matter that much, it'll be having good legs most likely, the userbase will expand a lot until it stop selling.

FF games (and JRPGs in general) aren't particularly known for have amazing legs in Japan, many selling over 50% of their LT sales in their FW. Of course expanding install base is important, but the install base at the time of release is also a major factor that can hinder a game's sales from the jump.

3.8 Million, FF is losing steam.

FF VII is the only in the whole series to sell this amount in Japan, 3.9M, actually.

I guess FF XV will be selling as much as FF XIII (2M), FF is indeed losing steam there, but 3.8M would be gaining a lot of steam back xP

Give it a read, that's one of Kylee awesome threads, about both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.

My bad! I totally skipped the "Japan" in there. Effectively, I will cut my guess to around 1.4M

Every FF in Japan always does 2 million +. I say 2.5 million for FFXV. It WILL do better than FFXIII.

Pls be specific, you can add FW but I'll be mostly be recording lifetime. Good luck!

FW 1.10mil
Lifetime 1.85mil (I expect legs)

 

1.5m for me.  

 

But your expectation is interesting.  You expect a lower opening after 13 but I presume your expecting it will be well received and thus those who didn't jump in day 1 will follow.

The point is that you were saying the there won't be enough userbase, but I'm telling you it'll expande while it still keeps selling, so even if it wouldn't have the amount of userbase necessary to do it at launch it could have while in the run, which make an mathematical impossibility turn into a possibility.

And 50%+ is a pretty good increase for big hitters like Final Fantasy, even though I'm guessing XV will be having around 80% of sales as post FW.
1.1M to 1.97M, in this case.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think it makes any difference when we're talking about the game selling 4m in Japan (which will just never happen).

Are you saying you think the game will sell 1.97m post-launch?

What I don't understand is what is making people so optimistic that it will outsell XIII?
