Square-Enix in panic mode that they've damaged a key part of their business (the FF franchise) I see.

I think it's too little, too late now, this was what Capcom was praying for with Street Fighter V, that a bunch of DLC would save it, but there's been no notable uptick in sales. 

Hold that L Square-Enix. 

Except FF XV still sold over 5 million worldwide.... And about a million in Japan with digital included.

 

It isn't an L, and the game isn't as bad as people say it is.... It's right where metacritic has it, an 82/100 which is a very good game 

5 mill shipped, it probably is never going to sell through that shipment without massive discounting, so the damage has been done as next time retailers are not going to trust Square-Enix. It's also well below FF13 for a game that likely had higher development costs.
