Came to say the exactly words of Hiska, haha.

Yeah, shortages I would say not really now. PS4 is everywhere. Let it a couple of weeks more.

It would be nice to know the pre order numbers in the west. All we have is VGChartz US data, which shows Final Fantasy XV above Final Fantasy XIII with the same numbers of weeks left.

All I can tell you is that the game is doing very well on Amazon here in Germany (Deluxe Edition is #9 on the Games section and never really left top 20 since Uncovered) and overall in Europe. But I have no clue how big Amazon is in Europe for the gaming market.

I think it will least match FFXIII's perfomance in Europe. We'll see  if that happens.

XV's performance is giving me premature hypertension.

The fact it will do worse than XIII-2 on COMG is simply unbelievable!

I think it has to be down to the main cast simply not hitting a chord with the general audience that buys FF in Japan. There is no age range, no gender/species variety and no colour. Being a hardcore fan I don't mind this change at all and welcome it as it'll be different. But to the casual player maybe they see nothing of themselves in the cast and have no interest on going on an adventure in the game.

PS4's hardware/software situation and the long wait between mainline entries is probably the biggest reason though.

XIII did 5.65 Million outside of Japan (Japan was only 1.87). So if the game can gain a few million or so abroad it's fine. From what I have heard on neogaf the western preorder for XV are very high and S-E is thrilled by them.

Seems like there's no mod activity here.

In any event, I see plenty of Baiting, some Flaming, and a good deal of general Trolling. It ends at this post. If there's even a slight infraction after it, we will act, and more strictly than normal. So keep this in mind!

Yeah thanks for that!

 

If people don't have something positive or constructive to say then please just don't say anything. I rarely ever report but I too will be more strict from here on out.

I think you do swell job, but you should work faster! I NEED MY CRACK, I mean numbers! (Positive and constructive)

I think its not really the appeal of the character that`s the problem (because they look like typical Nomura characters) but more like the fact that the mainstream audience (I think someone posted this earlier as well?) simply isn`t there anymore on the console market. That`s why Persona 5 (niche) does well for its franchise and XV can`t get even close to former sucess.

 

Though that`s not the only reason, I think its the biggest reason for this drop. Outside of that its the XIII trilogy damaging the brand (as seen by Lightning Returns also having that flat line in preorders) and general decrease in software sales in Japan.



The most important thing is that FFXV is not getting points at all and not the fact the it's doing worse than FFXIII-2 or FFXIII which both had a strange ratio while PS4 games ratio on COMG usually translates to 1 point-1 copy.

You mean 1:1000 ratio, right?

 

But yeah that`s also true. Just the fact that it isn`t getting points is bad.

There is no text in your reply? 

What the hell.. I said something about wishing FFXV to underperform in the West because I want another old-school FF game.

How about worl of final fantasy?:)

That is not really an old school final fantasy game, as much as it seems to be fan service final fantasy game, honestly it reminds me of Dragon Quest Joker series.
