Basically if you want to prove it's highly Final Fantasy based. You have to explain why... even in Japan it doesn't fit Final Fantasy sales patterns.

Both mainline and spinoff Final Fantasy games are much more front loaded. However KH has a much more backloaded "casual" selling pattern.

what are you talking about like any japanese game, it's front loaded, huge first week but small legs.

 

KH1 sold 415K Week 1.

Sold 1.25M worl wide.


So... about 1/3rd of it's sales were frontloaded.  That means 2/3rds were do to legs.


When it comes to Final Fantasy games and their spinoffs it's the exact opposite infact.

Final Fantasy games thend to do 2/3rds of their sales week 1 in Japan.

 

The sales patterns don't gel... at all... and are exact opposites.

that was only true for kh1 probably because it was a new game have u seen kh2 and 358/2 sales?

Yes.  It actually furthers my point.

KH1 sold like a New IP.  Those two games sold like sequels of a popular IP.

In otherwords.  Those two games sold mostly to the fans of KH1.

While KH1 created it's own fanbase independent of Final Fatnasy, since it did NOT sell like a Final Fantasy spinoff.

stop staying things like they are facts, while it got it own fanbase it's not totally independent of final fantasy.

 

I've never said totally independent.

I've said mostly independent.

Which is true.

It established it's own fanbase as a new Disney IP and didn't build off the back of Final Fantasy.

At most, 400K or so of the people who bought it, bought it because of the Final Fantasy ties... and that's assuming that every person who bought it week 1 did so because of FF.  (Which is obviously a bonkers conclusion.)

This is FF's biggest market and you come to 400,000K if your generous.

So being generous overall.

Of the 5 Mil+... 1 Mil was because of FF?

 

out of 5.9 million?  u know in japan sales are for the first 1.74+ million and they don't care about disney? and others another .81 million?

while u atribute it success in america to disney, yeah out 3.7 million,  1 million+ probably are mainly for FF in america, but the whole world it's bigger.
