At a press conference this morning, director Hajima Tabata answered that question: it needs to sell 10 million copies, worldwide, over entire the life-span of the game. For context, that's more than any Final Fantasy game has ever sold except Final Fantasy VII, almost twice as much as The Witcher 3 has sold so far, and twice as much as Metal Gear Solid V has sold to date.

For some added context: The best selling installment, FF VII, sold under 10 million until several re-releases/ports later

that's some tall order mr. Hajima has there, although i'm not surprised. i had a feeling that the intention was to make Final Fantasy XV surpass the legendary classic in everyway possible, that includes sales. not gonna lie, that's a fearful goal to have in mind with the current generation's extreme obession with first person shooter games and grand theft auto games.

it doesn't seem realistic, but given the Ultimate Edition isn't available anymore, there is a glimmer of hope.
