Congrats! Shipments that high indicate sky high pre orders! And seeing it on top of Amazon and Best Buy. Its also the fastest shipping FF 15 game ever so this really needs to be acknowledged as the success it is.

Nice shipment numbers, but you know what we really want to know. lol

Nice. If they made 2 games, it would have sold 10M.

I know lawlight isn't being serious but if big franchises actually did this would it boost sales much like it does for Pokemon?  you'd also have to note that pokemon sells for $40 not $60 so in total they're paying $80 if they buy both rather then $120.

You also have to note that the games hardly drop in price (other than deals) while your COD/BF/fifa/etv drop after 2-3 months (msrp). So you should account that too if you want to be technical.

 

As for pokemon, its like people think that every1/majority buy both games. Yes you can say many people do it but its nowhere near as much as people make it out to be and only a few games can pull this off. Pokemon being one of them because of how the games are structured.

 

That said its funny people bring this up then ignore stuff like ps4 pro/n3ds/etc double dipping and the many ports/remasters of last gen to this gen (like gtav selling 60mil).

Baffling?  I thought you followed the japanese sales.  Obviously not.  here I'll let you know. so the market is in decline and games don't tend to sell as much as they used to.  

Yeap good examples. *Cough Persona cough Fire Emblem Cough Animal Crossing Cough Minecraft *Cough Metal Gear Solid... Let me clear my throat *Pokemon cough cough cough Monster Hunter cough smt cough musuo (i dunno how to spell this) genre spin offs such as DQ warriors (and LoZ to an extent).

 

No new ips either like splatoon that just sold over 1.6mil on a horribly embarrassing userbase.

 

Again FFXV will do very well WW. Numbers will be no lower than 5mil so its doing good but making excuses for its sales in japan need to stop. Game can still get to 1mil there, but people need to stop acting like decline is ok over there because of "markeg changed". Many ips in the west have fallen too, much more than in japan i say and we dont use that for an excuse

Lmao I didn't bother reading psst the first few lines but did you really just say I'm using excuses and then you went onto make a lot yourself?  you listened the exceptions rather then the rule.  look at hardware sales for consoles and handhelds compared to last gen.  total yearly software sales don't lie either.  

 

2016 Playstation consoles are dominating total software sales but overall they're way down on the halcyon days. and after FF13 on top of more difficult market Japan was never going to warm much to its sequel by the series standards.  

 

So they were dead right to go after the western market and grow it there.  BTW the above are called facts not excuses.

Lmao list all the people there who bring that up and ignore the fact that gta V or the Pro get double dipped.  I think 99% of posters on here understand that concept.
