Like i said, thats not always the case. If it were 7/8mil i agree with you but an extra mil doesnt guartee its sold through 5mil especially when that month is the holiday month (and includes digital). I do think 4mil has been sold but 5mil (still possible) isnt a lock. Youll see a better pictuee of this come npd |
Nah retailers wouldn't order another batch of discs if the initial shipment wasn't close to selling out. Extra orders were made to keep enough stock. If retailers still had 1M copies of the initial batch on shelves they wouldn't order another 1M discs. And yeah it's the holiday, people buy more games, FFXV is also a new game, 2 reasons why it sold thru the initial batch.
| weaveworld said: Is this a normal way of communicating numbers? Like the first number was kind of bullshit, (putting sold and shipped together) this is a million more bullshit. Pardon the language. This is just spinning numbers so we won't notice the company is very very disappointed with the sales and heads will roll. |
Yeah its the normal way of communicating numbers. In fact all retail numbers you ever saw in your life are reported as shipped since they can't control every retailer in the world and see how much is sold in every store. Digital is easy, just check PSN total.
It's shocking you were ignorant about that fact seeing how long you're on this site.
We'll see in their financial report whether they're disappointed.
| specialk said: The stuff about an addition million unit order is conjecture and I think misrepresents what's in the actual press releases. Read for yoursef: So on December 1, SE says that (Shipments + Digital Sales) has passed 5 million. On January 9, they say that (Shipments + Digital Sales) have passed 6 million. It's possible that 40 days of digital sales is driving the growth while just seeing a marginal increse in new shipments. Honestly it's hard for me to believe that a game that has fluctuated between $35 and $50 new on Amazon and other retailers since a week after launch, and that GameStop was aggressively offering trade in bonuses for, is just burning through shipments. My gut (and brain) still says that it is a lukewarm reviewed JRPG released in 2016. |
You realize this is contradictory? Why would digital sales be the main driver if retail price drops have been normal? They get a much better deal at retail than PSN, so why PSN be driving sales so much more than retailers? I don't feel like this game is any more weighted one way towards digital than any other. The price cutting on FF15 has literally been no different than every single other AAA release this year.
So would you guys say it lived up to the 10 year hype?

Literally no one in this thread fit the bill..
In fact you won't find a community that understands shipped vs sold better than VGC.
