Only VII & X, have sold that much before right?

Chances are this will sell less.

You have to remember the market is much bigger than before, games tend to sell much more than before.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Damn I was saying yesterday after the conference they'd need to sell 10M units to make FFXV and its expanded universe successful.

Shouldn't be too hard. XIII sold close to 7M between PS3 and 360. Expecting 8M sold on PS4, 1M on Xbone, and a 1M to 2M on the PC once the port is there. 

I think the ratio for Type-0 sales was around 85:15 for the PS4.

Its possible, but thats really hard.Not because that Final Fantasy cant, but any game to reach that number is a challenge.
But I guess this steep budget comes from the development hell that the game was stuck in.So its 8+ years of paying employees and marketing and such.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

It's possible, even thought they may reach that number by a small margin. PS4+NX+Xbone+PC will be a very big userbase.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Maybe? I don't know how other FF games have sold, so I'll have to wait and see.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

impossible , FF is not popular on x1 but it can reach LT 7 mil and maybe 8 mil with NX port

It can absolutely do it. It's more appealing to the western market than FFXIII was and that's where consoles are healthy. But I think it will need a PC version to reach that.

And by the way The Witcher 3 has shipped 10 million copies already unlike what Kotaku is saying.

Only 10? when was it first announced? 2006?



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

Well their is no reason to say it can not do it, but 10 million means nothing, FFXIII was for 20 Euro in the bargain bin when I got it like 3 months after release. 10 million full price sales? Would be more interesting to see how much revenue they need..Sure their will be albums/Merchandise sold aswell...

It's very unlikely it doesnt do it indeed, FF 13 did 7,4M with a small marketing ( in comparison to this historic one ) and not being an open world.

 

So being a huge super ambitious open world with great names on it, great OST, an anime, a movie with 3 big stars, i dont see how it couldnt do it.

 

FFXV will be the sign of the rebirth of japanese games outside Japan.
