Digital sales..... Which are more and more a large percentage of total sales.....

Digital sales are still not that big of an option in Japan because in Japan most players re-sell their game and make back like 30-50% of what they paid. This is a big part of the Japanese industry, so digital obviously cannot be resold. 

Exactly, by region it's a decent launch, but behind XIII.

When FFXIII launched worwide it had the same shipment numbers like FFXV now , FXV outsold it obviously @day 1 despite not having an earlier launch in Japan

nope FFXV outsold it pretty much, what FFXIII archieved with ealier launch in Japan FFXV did it @day1

I was being sarcastic lolol

ಠ_ಠ

FF XIII was a pretty bad game by itself. Who thought it would be a good idea to stretch it for more 2 games, per god sake?

Anyway, I think FF XV will have decent sales in Japan and certainly will surpass one million units in this territory. But, that is it. The PS1 era when a FF game debuted at over 2 million copies in first week are long gone. The future of the franchise lies within the western public.

And one more thing, Switch isn`t the all saviour people are crediting it to be... If it reaches DS sale levels it may happens, but it will mostly likely sell like 3DS is selling now or even less.

Prove it with nudes!

No, it is not a good excuse especially since FFXIV ARR Heavensward did amazing in Japan PC/PS4 5+ Million players.
