trunkswd said: Final Fantasy launch week sales in Japan (Physical sales only / chronological order - oldest to newest):

Yikes worse than I thought. Even with digital, I doubt it's above a million in Japan. I saw an interview about a hiring manager that works at a Japanese gaming company. It was about how they would question what kind of games younger job applicants plays, they usually mention mobiles games and nintendo games like Zelda and Pokemon. When the manager asks if they've played a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest they would either shake their heads or respond "not my generation". There's no doubt Final Fantasy doesn't have its former glory in Japan and the people that still buys and enjoys them are from the older generation that grew up with the franchise.
