OP updated with all info!

That's AMAZING for FFXV!! It's also pretty incredible to see at #10 in all of 2016. And above Pokémon at that? Well it is based on revenue so FFXV has an edge there but still. I guess digital sales must have been significant.

*puts white knight hat* to be fair, not only is Pokemon $20 cheaper, but for whatever reason NPD divides the Sun & Moon SKUs.

It's still quite impressive for FFXV. It's above Doom!

Yeah that's true but Pokémon did 4.5m (with digital sales though) in 2016 so even if you remove digital sales (let's say it puts it at 4m) and divide by two so you have both SKUs separated (2m each) it still amounts to a lot even if it costs 33% less. Also FFXV was discounted a couple of weeks after release at most big retailers so it essentially had the same price as Pokémon for a while.

I mean of course Pokémon did incredible but I think it's more that FFXV way overperformed.
