It will be a bigger bomba in Nintendo console. Given the home console market status it did well. Nintendo enthusiasts seems to play this game though I have the impression by many that third party games are of poor quality.

Sales are lower than FFXIII in UK. Square-Enix I think massively overshipped this game. It would be "fastest selling" perhaps only because it's the first FF game to launch simultaneously worldwide, but that is a cherry picked metric. I don't think in the long term it's going to be a huge hit in West either, probably sales below FF13 over here when it's all said and done too. |
Of course it's going to sell worse than FFXIII at launch. When XIII launched, it was one two massively successful consoles, and it was a franchise that had never put a foot wrong. It sold insanely well every time based on that trust. Then, XIII was a huge mistake, and they followed it up with two sequels that weren't any better and that nobody wanted. They spent a decade ruining the franchise's reputation, so Final Fantasy XV doesn't have that same advantage, people are going to wait and see how it turns out first. It's started off great, and will only do better over time as word of mouth gets around and those burned by XIII realise its not a total bomb like those three games were.
Opening weeks for main line Final Fantasy games in Japan:
Final Fantasy VII: 2.03 million first week
Final Fantasy VIII: 2.5 million first week
Final Fantasy IX: 1.94 million first week
Final Fantasy X: 1.75 million first week
Final Fantasy XII: 1.84 million first week
Final Fantasy XIII: 1.5 million first week
Final Fantasy XV: 690k first week
If the Switch sells like the 3ds in Japan, I can see it but it has to sell that much first or at least be competitive with its sales.

Sounds good to me. I'd love some JRPG support for the Switch. Although, I don't think this is the way to fix the issue. If anything, perhaps SE's RPGs will change to appeal to the west rather than the east, which... I woulnd't be in favor of at all...
Dance my pretties!

It's almost like each one's FW correlates to how well received the previous game was.
I don´t know. Supporting the switch would mean another downgrade on the visuals. Could hurt even more on the rest of the world.
I think PS4/PC at launch would have been better.
If the focus is japan it´s phones all the way.

Japanese devs were always going to support Switch. This includes SE.
The question is whether mainline Final Fantasy will support Switch. Square Enix has been favoured the hardware which allows them to fulfil their vision. I think they will stick with this unless FFXV struggles for profitability, something yet to be seen.
