Actually long term sales of FFXIII sequels were a disappointment to many at square enix.. They were projecting a lot higher because of the early sales.

Not a surprise, they expected to sell FFXIII forever for a fanbase that had a  completely new game every release.

I'm glad to hear that.

And killed the franchise for me in the process. You might want to add 'loadouts' next SE just to get that TRUE Western feel.

Weired logic.

Do you believe the westernization destroy the world ? 



I think that this news hurt some british gamer's pride.

But don't worry , Japanese people don't care :)

Yes, of course that's what I think. Isn't it obvious from my comment about a game?



 

The PS5 Exists.

Well, that's sad to hear, FF has been great to me, will mostly likely love XV as well.

FF games have always been great. Even 13 with it's god awful pacing and story telling was a good game at it's core. I'm not buying FFXV new or full price but when I do get it (being a fan of the series) I'm sure I'll even enjoy it. That doesn't mean I want it to continue in that vein. I want SquEnix to remember what FF is in terms of gameplay because (as I played in the demo) it's certainly not running around collecting items (seriously, platforming in an FF game, hope that crap is toned down in the main game).

FF13 was bought on promise, premise and name. I think they once said, it'll be a cross between FFX-2 and FF12's combat (was neither). The first game not sitting well with many fans meant FF13-2 and 3, no matter how good, would not have been purchased. I'm pretty sure SquEnix look at FF13 sales and expected the sequels to do as well, not really accepting fan reaction.



Hmm, pie.

Its bad for ff15 because with ff13 in 2010, there was less preorder in the net for the first week .

Well FFXIII had 0% digital rate so FFXV is probably the real no. 1

If these figures are true...

 

1. Final Fantasy XIII ~ 170,000 - 180,000

2. Final Fantasy XV ~ 115,000 - 135,000

... then that would require XV to have had about a 30% digital rate, in the country with possibly the largest disparity between physical and digital game prices. That seems unlikely to me.

30% digital rate is becoming the standard http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1305615

Digital deluxe pre-order also had the incentive of having the season pass.

That'd put FFXV around ~ 155,000 - 165,000



No shame in losing to FF XIII in sales, guys. Great games sometimes are unbeatable.

It isn`t yet. Also doesn`t change the fact that digital prices in the UK are massively higher than digital so I`d be quite surprised (and disappointed) if digital ratios were anywhere near as high there.

Edit: Also your source says it`s for gen 4 consoles so is irrelevant to gen 8 console sales

Gen 4 ?  The Snes generation ?
