Wait did SE shipped 1.1 million? I knew they overshipped. That 5 millions were too much for this game.

Final Fantasy is always over shipped just like practically every AAA game.  They mass ship it then get heavily discounted a month later. I've even seen battlefield 1 selling at 40% less its launch price and that games been selling like hot cakes.  Even if SE sells at a discount i guess they would be hoping some of those gamers would buy a season pass which makes up the difference lost.  We all know that SE basically has all the assets already made for the season pass,  they just be recycling stuff from its 10 year development that didn't make the final cut so its probably still part of the original game budget.  When they made 13-2 some of the bosses that didn't make it into 13 (but found in FF13s games code) were just thrown into 13-2 as story bosses even lol

Well if Square Enix really did ship over 1.1m copies then yeah it might need price cuts lol

Why would retailers accept so many for a first shipment? 1m would have been just fine.

People assume retailers and SE overestimated the demand. And yes 1M would´ve been perfect shipment number.

I do not think those 5 million are too much. It´s actually pretty fitting. Unless of course there is a 50% decline in every country which simply doesn´t look to be the case. I think the coming weeks will show whats really going to happen. XIII-like dropoff or slightly stronger legs.

"Heavy discounts" really?..



All 3 new titles are Playstation. And 2 are ps4. Excellent update!

So yakuza and the last guardian are the last significant ps4 titles releasing this year. Is there anything left? Western titles even?
