No, you haven't made your point clear. You're using WW numbers when citing sales for the 3ds and japan-only numbers when talking about ps4. Why?

The only numbers internationally we have for FFXV are from the UK, and those are lower than FFXIII was. 

Beyond that Final Fantasy has always been a crown jewel franchise in Japan, that's always been it's driving base, you can't just hand wave away the collapse we're seeing here. 

How many IP in general start off hot in one market, lose that market, and then get bailed out in other markets? That just isn't a sensible business policy, I can't even think of many franchises that have worked that way. 

FF XIII sold 1.87M on PS3 during its entire run in Japan. Final Fantasy X did 2.73M for the PS2 during its entire run in Japan. How is FF XV doing nearly 700k during its first week remotely bad?
