Hard to know with Square's silence about FFXVI sales. |
I think it's pretty safely agreed upon from what I remember researching this, is that it sold and things slowed to a crawl, like 500k over a few months. I think if it made it to 5 million SE would have released that. You can also tell with the Trophy data, this has signs of very low but very interested fan sales like a JRPG or an Atlus game with a 50% completion rate and it 30+ hours long and not some 9.5 game everyone has raved about. It tells me two things, the fans came in and they stuck around and very few casuals joined them.
Regardless, CO E33 has two bumps coming with awards and a film that now automatically has a fan base and a very long life where people yap and recommend it as a game that must be played for years to come. Surely it's going well beyond even the best estimates of FF16, let's say FF16 make 7 million in ut's lifetime which would be way to generous, it's still beating it.
