Kresnik, I don't think Heavensward did poorly. It's just not a game that people are going to buy retail.


It decreased significantly from the base game, though:

16 - PS4 Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn 34,279 86,194 Square Enix
68 - PS3 Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn 184,462 285,385 Square Enix

Nearly all contained in the PS3 version, but PS4 didn't seem to pick up any of those consumers.

I would differeniate the base game from the expansion though. The people left buying the game are the more hardcore fans. They will be more likely to get it digitally since they could have downloaded and installed the entire thing days before the official release. With an early access period starting on Friday before the release date, I know more than 100 people who play and only a handful bought physical (all were the LE too).

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
