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.

For sure. It's pretty funny how both Pokemon and FF are breaking their own records in the same year. Pokemon with it's biggest year ever, and FF with its most important release since VII?

Yeah and FFXV should hold that title until Lightning Collection: Runway Edition comes out next year.
