BARRY LOST
BARRY WON
BARRY DRAW
The PS4 Installbase when FF7R launched was around 110m units, it shipped 3.5m
With an Installbase of almost 40m PS5 units, results are good.
It did 25% less than the PS4 version of FFXV when it launched.
A lot of people are ignoring that currently this is PS5 only. Sales are going to jump a lot as well once it gets another launch on Xbox and PC with a decent word of mouth
I'll barry my dick in ur mom's ass
CHUDS LOST
16 SISTERS STAY WINNING
this game has no blacks and the only woke thing in it is the gay kiss
this game is (almost) the most chuddy thing that's been made by a AAA studio in a decade
it's the year of the chud, frick troons
It also has no rpg elements. No real skill trees that mean anything. No status effects. No builds. No weapon varieties. Only 3 party members and one is a dog. It's even more shallow than ffxv somehow.
frick rpg elements MORE DMCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC I NEEDDDDD MORE COMBOOOOOOS
I like DMC too. But it's final fantasy. They should have made a final fantasy game. They have a dozen other IPs to turn into DMC. It's just soulless.
Turn based is dead, that is why you see a new system in every FF game now.
They are trying to see which one cracks the code.
>Turn based is dead
Meanwhile Persona is selling like hotcakes
Remake cracked the code.
7R's combat fricking sucks and I'm tired of people pretending it didn't
shit has so many glaring issues and the "hard" mode is even worse
If you say so pal
I never mentioned turnbased. I said I just wanted it to be an RPG. With actual rpg mechanics instead of just ffxv style shallow shit. You remember sphere grid or other skill trees and builds, and weapon types and classes and status effects and party members you would swap out and actual gear that had variety instead of just progression upwards and secrets, and loadouts and jobs system and all that actual rpg stuff. Not just hold square to win, fight X amounts of battle upgrade your weapon. Press R1 every so often fo super flashy but ultimately pointless move.
Even 13 was better than this shit and atleast 15 there was kind of weapon variety and almost builds.
So how many PS5 bundles are just sitting on shelves unsold?
Didn't XV sell 5 million in that timeframe
XV launched on multiple platforms with bigger install base, not comparable. It's slightly lower than FF7R (same exclusivity shit) but had stronger ip + released on covid + big installbase
PS4 + Xbox One install base by the end of 2016 was 70M.
PS5 install base as of last month was 40M. That's a ratio of 1.75. 5 million shipped physical sales / 1.75 = 2.85M. Though the article counts 3 million physical + digital, instead of only retail shipments.

Wow it's almost like people want to play fun games with attractive characters and straight sex.
Wow

not really.
It's a PS5 exclusive and the ps5 hasn't sold that much on its own. This is overall a success, is it a blockbuster, no.
That's not mega sales kiddo.

Holy frick, can we start getting age verification on here? Fricking summer
It's 3 million you illiterate moron.

do you not understand
This guy is so utterly mindbroken, he keeps reading 3 million as 5 million to cope with the fact that XV is the worst selling FF in the last decade

>Shipped
Didn’t 7 remake ship 4 million for its first week ?
actual translation is 5mil not 3
>Shipped
Name one studio that doesn't reports shipped numbers as sales kek
all of them except snoys exclusives for ~~*(some reasons*~~)
That's literally not true, no studio verifies their initial shipment numbers
Crapcom was more sad with troon fighter 6 they reported 1 million players lol
XV sold for 2.5 not 5m
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn thats insane for a dmc game
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-15-ships-5-million-copies-achieves-f/1100-6445876/
Your screenshot is PS4 physical sales only.
That's pretty good for being only on ps5.
I can imagine it would have been 7 millions if they didn't skip the other platforms
>That's pretty good for being only on ps5.
I suspect it only being on PS5 is also helping it, we're 3 years in and this is like one of the fricking first true next gen exclusives. People want to justify their 500 dollar paperweight.
Shut the frick up. PS5 has a shit ton of games on it that people are playing.
>that people WITH ps5's are playing
ftfy
>3 MILLION
Kinda sad, actually.
Ah the old "shipped" cope. Now post the "sold" numbers.
>Ah the old "shipped" cope. Now post the "sold" numbers.
Shipped counts as sold for the publisher moron, how the frick are the publishers gonna know every single game that leaves the store shelf? The game stores buy the game in bulk and then they sell it to customers. If they overshipped the game it's ultimately the game stores loss for overbuying.
Then it lost to XV by 2million.
FF15 was a multi plat title not a console exclusive.
Going by
It sold more on a sony console than FF15

Are you sure about that?

Because it's not fricking selling
Ngl that's insane for a PS5 Exclusive
>shipping 3 millions
that's wiiU tiers numbers, wtf.
Barrystocks plummeting.
Less than remake which SE was extremely quiet about after the 3.5 mill announcement lol
There are like half the amount of PS5s in the wild than there were PS4s when VIIR came out.
That's not even true a month after they announced that they hit 5 mil
>3mil
>PS5 exclusive
Kinda impressive
This. I can imagine snoy paid them well but still its sad they didnt go full pc ps4 and xbox
To be fair, what other games can PS5 owners buy?
Further proof Ganker has zero relevance these days and that the schizos are wasting their time here when they should be on Twitter/reddit doomposting.
>A bit lower than expectations - Square management
>Turnbased and RPG mechanics are aged and dated, actionslop is the future, get with the times boomer!
>Outsold and Outscored by Persona 5, a turn based game with RPG mechanics
YOU GET WHAT YOU FRICKING DESERVE
p5 troons are mentally ill. how many more years will you have to wait for your next game moron?
and Outscored by Persona 5
Persona 5 sold like 200k in its first week, compared to 3 million for FF16, and that's with Persona 5 selling on both Playstation 3 and 4 on release.
Persona 5's sales comes from a decade of new editions and rereleases, double dipping on their fans instead of making Persona 6.
FF16 will crush Persona 5 in sales within the next decade
when persona 6 releases. Final Fantasy Will Die.

>3 million for a PS5 exclusive
Isnt that pretty good? From all the tortanic and schizo posts I thought it wouldve been way less
Yes, it's good.
It is, xenogays are just coping
It's not very good, no. There are 40 million PS5 owners out there who have been going through a 2.5 draught. You'd think more people would have gotten this.
>There are 40 million PS5 owners out there
Half of those are still in scalpers basements.
And half of the 3 million shipped FFXVI copies are still on store shelves.
For a huge release like this and a supposed system mover not at all.
Considering the PS5 install base I would say this looks pretty good
It unironically is
Yes, since ps5 bombed. It's probably sell more long term when it comes to pc so it can easily tops 10 millions
Not bad since the game was never in development hell
So they sold 1m more than Pixel Remaster. Lol.
wow rekt
My guess is pixel remaster was on every console ever
gaming is healing
And where would the official source for any of this be?
It's over anon famitsu is also reporting it
Xvi chuds WON
OH NO NO NO BARRYBROS
What tactic will Barry use now? Both scores and sales are closed off to him
Sub-90 scores and 3m shipped in a week isn't going to receive any applause.
why have i never seen webms of this game posted? even trash like totk has webms getting posted
XV sold 5 million in 1 day
VIIR sold 3.5 million in 3 days
XVI 3 million in A WEKK
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The worst selling FF in the last decade
that's proof XV killed the franchise barry.
FF15 was a multiplat title moron
Well, 7R was Time Exclusive and it is outsold your sorry ass.
>FF15 was a multiplat title moron
Not an argument. Gaming as a whole is bigger now than when FFXV came out. Sales should be going UP, not down.
Not him but ps4 and pc market are way bigger than ps5
Also Xenoblade 3 sold less than xenoblade 2 despite the switch sales being bigger
>Not an argument
moron ,being a multiplat title is a HUGE difference.

Yup XVI is a TOTAL FLOP
barrykun...can you explain how xvi flopped with 3m shipped but forspoken couldn't even get to a million?
Thats no where near a disaster still ff15 was open world slop so I am not surprised that game sold 5 million.
So for you idiots crying
"muh 3 mil that so bad HUE HUE HUE HUE"
Let's take some things into consideration:
1. The actual translation states 5mil shipped, which is a very strong number for a first week
2. This is launched as a PS5 exclusive; I know you sonybros like to pretend we are still in the PS2 era, but the reality is a large majority of people still do not own the PS5 which is automatically going to limit the total sales of an PS5 exclusive
3. This game is lauching with $70 price tag, and in case you haven't fricking checked we're in a complete global recession and a lot of people (especially neckbeards living at home) don't have the financial backing to make that kind of purchase right now
4. They did not spend nearly as much at marketing this game commercially as they opted in for more cheaper "organic" growth campaigns on social media platforms. This will most likely mean that sales will continue to increase as more and more people learn about the game.
So basically; shut the frick up. This game will explode in sales once it launches on PC.
Here's your (you) now frick off, please kill your mum as well
> The actual translation states 5mil shipped
HOLY FRICK STOP COPING AND LYING homosexual SHILL
THAT WAS 15
>1. The actual translation states 5mil shipped, which is a very strong number for a first week
Unless you're arguing numbers are different in Japan (they're not) it says 3 million.

Calling me a moron and pointing to some other random Anon doesn't prove your point, moron.

THE ARTICLE SAYS IT'S 3 MILLION YOU GODDAMN DELUSIONAL SHILL
where the FRICK are you pulling 5 million from? Translation of WHAT? Certainly not the article in question because it says 3 million.
Quote the article moron. Are MMOshills having collective schizophrenia to damage control? It's 3million.
>It's 5 million I swear??????

FLOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP
wow square enix is in trouble bros, their employees might as well migrate to nintendo
Capcom proved they dont need nintendo
Atlus prefers Microsoft now
Xenoblade and FE Engage flopped on nintendo
yes but FF is their biggest franchise. that is like nintendo selling 3 mil copies of mario kart LOL
wat will they do now?
FF stopped being big long time ago, only ff7 and 10 were super popular
When has anyone, at least in the west, made a big deal about FF?
I enjoy FF games but they are not the peak of the mountain anymore.
Only ff7 was popular
Gacha and MMOs are their biggest cash cow
i guess its ogre
Once the PC version releases this game will likely eclipse FF15 sales.
I'm really not so sure about that. I think a lot of potential players will get turned off as more people play the game and word of mouth spreads about how the game actually is.
Game is fine and my word of mouth is that it's fun.
IT SHIPPED 5 MILLION AND SOLD 3 MILLION

FRICKIGNG
READ
So it's even better and no, I will not read moon runes.
Why aren't Snoys buying video games?
once again physical UK sales means jack shit
all of those spammed threads the past few days were embarrassing
So let's go out on a limb and assume that every single shipped game was sold and that every store that received a copy is now literally now out of stock (which is objectively false, but let's be nice).
That would mean it would not even make it onto the top-30 games for Square Enix. Like not even close.
ITS THE FIRST WEEK OF SALES YOU FRICKING IDIOT. WHY ARE YOU COMPARING IT TO GAMES THAT HAVE BEEN OUT FOR 25+ YEARS?
FUDKING DIPSHIP

be glad this is an anonymous board or you would be laughed at irl for being so dumb
Why are you comparing lifetime sales to WEEK ONE sales.
Anon it's a PS5 exclusive game it's making SE a fortune kek
Yeah, I don't think SE is fussed at this point. Sony paid for most of the development, it's all money now.
it's been 1 week
Since you looked at me
wienered your head to the side and said "im angry"
Yeah, and sales have fallen 74%.
Reminder
>※パッケージ出荷本数とダウンロード販売数の合計

Barry copium.
The only PS5 game in existence and it could only sell 3 mil?
Please understand PS5 owners are busy playing their PS4 games with a 2-3fps boost on PS5 and Fortnite. FFXVI is not a priority to them.
the court shitshow with MS proved that snoys do not actually play games
>Shipped
Always a bad sign
Shipped is meaningless in 2023 because physical sales barely exist anymore.
What the frick is up with Ganker's reading ability as of late? Shits comical
It's because it's summer. This happens every year. School let's out and all the edgelord 13 year olds flood Ganker with their cancerous slop.
Still not as bad though back in the early 2010's when summer was at it's absolute peak back then. We didn't even have captcha back then.

Pathetic zeldagays

Has more of a legacy though and will continue to do well where as Zelda has dropped off completely and all hype for it has completely died.
What legacy LMAO
BOTW sold 32 million, more than XII, XIII, XV and XVI put together
And ff15 sold more than Ocarina of time, ergo FF15>>>>>>>OoT according to you
Nice cope
10 mil > 3 mil

Tendies, always

Keep saying that
Dude if first week sales are this low the drop off will be historic
Zelda just spent the last 8 weeks on the top of the famitsu charts
Do you think ffxvi will? Lel
>It's ok famitsu sales are bad because japan doesnt matter for Final Fantasy now, it'll make it up in the west
>It's ok western sales are bad because it came out late in the month, it'll pick up next month

>It's ok the PC sales are bad because it's epic games store exclusive, it'll pick up once it's on steam
>It's ok the steam sales are bad because it's old now
It being a PS5 exclusive was a big deal and that's why people thought it would undersell.

Ah so we will be seeing some landfills again in some weeks. And this number will never go up in a future report like with ff7r.

the weekly drop will be insane, FF16 is already losing on it's launch week to a turn based 4 homies in row made by square.
Lol barry is seething no where near his precious forspoken flop lol
More or less what was expected. 5 by the end of the year. Despite the naysayers the game will end up selling more than Persona 5 or any other Jrpg. Although Square want 10-20 millions sales, so this might be the end of the franchise as we know it. FF17 will be another MMO since that makes them tons of money.
>Although Square want 10-20 millions sales
Citation needed.
You could make a new Persona, Xenoblade, Octopath, Dragon Quest, Atelier and Tales for the money Square pumps into a single mainline Final Fantasy.
It shouldn't do just slightly better, it should dominate the competition.
>selling more than Persona 5 or any other Jrpg
Nope
Pokémon is there
Ringfit Adventure is there
I'm more of a gacha dude, so not used to Ganker culture.
Why do some people in this board want this game to fail? It is remarkably not woke compared to Western games of the same kind. It is just a other Final Fantasy game. Why the hate?
3 million copies seems quite good.
Tendies are mentally ill
Tendies come here just to hate on Sony and non-Nintendo games
>5m
So now you're just lying, right? I put this article through every translator I could find and the only reference is 3m SHIPPED, not opened, but shipped. And considering I can still buy it in every online store I'm pretty sure even reaching for 3m is a massive joke.
that's it?

>article only accounts for physical product shipped, not digital sales
Everyone in this thread is actually moronic. A simple google search would show you FF16 is doing very well.
It says 3 million includes digital and PS5 bundles. It flopped.
Yes, this is indicative of retailers seeing low demand too, thus asking for low shipments. (Low preorders being the metric retailers looked at.)
>selling 3 million in 1 week on a dying console for $70 is a flop now
Doomposters will reach for anything, huh
Just give up. It’s over. Star field is coming out soon, you’ll have a better chance with that game
Those are shipped numbers.
Not really, no.
Illiterate?
Every article specifies it's shipped moron.

It's so fricking bad they are combining digital and SHIPPED
It's nothing impressive, I agree, but PR is always "shipped+digital". It's nothing new
It's worse than that anon. Those are shipped sales plus digital sales.
In other words, the sales are very low unless one thinks that physical copies are non-existent. (See 30k UK sales on physical for more context.)
3 million in 1 week on a dying console for $70 is a flop now

5 MILLION COPIES
Sony is footing the bill for this game, the true purpose of this game is moving PS5 units. So that's gonna be the true measure for success.
Remember when FFXVI gays said the game will sell tens of millions just for square to say the preorders are trash?
Remember FFXVI gays said that the gay shit isnt in the game just to backtrack and say that they love the gay shit and the troony alien sex stuff?
Remember FFXVI gays were hyped for the reviews and were expecting the game to get high as frick scores just for it to get a review score as high as deathloop?
FFXVI gays are the most pathetic shills on this website and actually convinced a few Gankertards to buy a PS5. Glad that their reality is tumbling down and Yoshi P isnt the perfect dev that they thought unlike miyazaki and aonuma
remember when tendies said Xenoblade was bigger than FF ? KEK
yes but they are surprisingly close now LOL xenoblade taking over?
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 sold like 120k games in its first week lol, it's not even close
Sold through (shipment not included). In one country. Physical only.
in japan yes. world wide it hit 1.72 mil in 2 months. i mean its not that far. FF used to be the king, now monolith is one hit away from taking it.
Anon ff16 already outsold xenoblade 3
Anon botw sold 10x more than ff16
On two platforms over a period of 7 years.
Come back and check the sales of FFXVI in 7 years time when that also releases on a second platform and you'll see it'll be around the same as BOTW.
Anon, ffxvi is never going to sell 30 mil. Please don't act that delusional, you are embarrassing us
So what's the excuse for totk on one platform?
Well going by that logic we can't call for spoken or redfall a flop
Barry is going to hang himself when the Game of the year edition launches on PC with the Arena and Leviathan dlc included and sales reach 30 million
Well botw is the better game so it makes sense
Yes and FF15 sold more than Ocarina of Time
Witcher 3 sold more than botw too
Point is what's the loint of using sales if you don't like sales when it sells your favorite game
And botw and totk are not rpgs. Silly tendie.
Neither is ff16 lol
Tendies absolutely rattled. You love to see it.
Oof, snoytrannies seem really upset 😉
ff16 are not action games eithre lol
So is ff16
What is your point?
Kill all gays
Remember when a tendie falseflag operation ever succeeding, yeah me neither.
Only tendies are this obsessed over reviews and sales so frick off
only you mention tendies in every thread

It's not even 3m is it? It'll be like 2m considering that every store has more left.
SE's silence on this matter should be VERY worrying.
It's far worse than 3 million. 3 million is SHIPPED plus DIGITAL SALES.
Either physical shipments were incredibly, historically low or...
Friends, I am quite confused. Where does it state in the article that this number includes both digital and physical?

Thats not bad considering the fact that its a console exclusive, ff15 sold well cuz multiplat + HIGHLY anticipated game.

Not really impressive, no.
I don't get why you morons associate sales with quality, every mediocre piece of media nowadays has enough moronic npc consumers yo be profitable. Just look at Marvel movies.

Not bad for a character action game.
Pretty sure that Square expected a lot more
Yoshida said in that one interview that the profit projections were done in like an 18 month interval of time, I doubt this is out of their expectations.

>All popular streamers, such as Asmongold have dropped the game
What WoM? I see no way this game will do well long term, why would it? There is no good word of mouth, there is nothing to the game. There is no viral nature to the game at all.
Fan arts are a meme sometimes, cod and gta dont have that many fanarts
>muh internet world
I just told my brother it's good, how's that for word of mouth, homosexual.
Everything you said is false my homie
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BARRY'S HURT
>doomies have to try so hard to meme this as a flop
How do we feeling XVI bros?
The cope from those saying this isn't anything but a disappointment sales wise is hilarious.
>B-b-b-but it's an exclusive!!
>B-b-b-but it's actually 5 million!
>B-b-b-but it has stock issues!
But is the game actually good?
eh
Not really. The demo has all the best parts. It's very downhill after that.
A bit worse than mediocre. Slightly bad I'd say.
Yes
no go away and let us argue
It's a character action game and a FF game, if you understand what that means, yeah.
Game?
Depends how much you like 80% cutscenes over 20% shallow, empty shitty combat gameplay with particle effects out the ass.
but enough about xenoblade
It's a good action game, I guess?
For a 30 dls unknow IP, is a fun game (nothing fancy of course)
For a Final Fantasy? Is bad
Is like resident evil 6, a fun game to spend the time; a bad resident evil
Wouldn't be surprised if they included digital demo downloads in that number like Sony do.
How is this good? It didnt even sell 3 million in a week. It only shipped
It's good because Yoshigays need it to be good.
>only shipped
It actually shipped less than that physically.
The 3 million is physical shipments PLUS digital sales.
Where is this meme coming from? SE has sold these copies to retailers they made their profit
Where is THIS meme coming from? Did the retailers buy it off their own shelves?
>3 million
>SHIPPED
>digital, physical AND bundles
>over a week
That's incredibly average for a massive AAA production, if not borderline bad.
>only 3 mil
>including digital
Lmao holy frick the famitsu numbers are going to be terrible tomorrow.
So the tactic is to try and make up schizo delusions and gaslight reality...
well, I guess it makes sense. There's not really much left they can do at this point.
all this talk about botw selling mroe.. bro my grandma has a fricking switch
She sounds based. What games does she like?
she plays animal crossing
>TOTK sold 10 mil over 3 days
>FFXVI only SHIPPED 3 million copies including digital
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey zeldagays dont need to hide behind shazam anymore
>nintendo fans buy anything they ship out
very nice
FF15
5 million copies / 70 million units (PS4+XBOX)
FF16
3 million copies / 40 million units (PS5)
If you want to compare to PS only
>FF15
>4 million copies / 40 million units PS4 in one day
>FF16
>3 million copies / 40 million units PS5 in one week
>announced on june 22
Wtf no they didn't
>less than zelda
It's actually over
>people are trying to downplay the numbers because they also include shipped
>when the amount of physical copies printed and shipped is smaller than ever because no one bothers with physical anymore
Let's fricking go 16chads
Only Sony fans would rub a games sales in everyones face. Nobody else does that. Sony fans always throw the first stone.
You literally have zelda fans in every thread saying how well totk sells
its the truth though
Yes, so why are you always crying in The Witcher 3 threads?
It's sad when a previously good company instead of trying to make good games anymore now simply makes games with the highest cost to profit ratio and distills the game itself down to the very basics that are required by their algorithm to make the biggest profit. Square used to just make really good games as the goal and profit would come. Now they make this trash and call it a final fantasy depite not even being an RPG anymore.
I used to be a diehard ff fan back then. I say hand more money to whoever made this game because turns out I NEED MORE DMC
>”it’s natural for sales to be that low, FF16 is only on one console”
>ignores the fact that Tears of the Kingdom sold far more on only the Switch
Switch has the vast majority of the console market share. Nintendo goes for the kids, man.
Switch solds more than ps5
Stop being so dishonest. 3 millions for a bombed console is good, imagine if it was released on ps4 and pc
>PS5
>40m
>bomb console
Yeah, it's not as popular as PS4 but it's no where near being bomb.
>Only the switch
I love levels of shitpost we have reached
>shipped
lol lmao kek even
It can't be just shipped because digital sales are included
Yes, it's a truly grim situation for SE.
>ship 3 million copies including digital
>nobody buys or downloads all 3 million in a week
>Posts it on social media to spin it as a success
This game is selling horribly, isnt it?
what does it matter everyone is gonna keep grifting around circle jerking than go for the next thing
Yes.
>shipped
my final cope
The fact that people actually took this as selling well is pretty typical low IQ shit for a FF fan. Especially since they had to combine both digital AND physical for shipped copies
This game is a massive failure. Cant wait for starfield
Too obvious, discordbro
I cant wait for tendies to spam sales dont matter for the next rockstar game lmao
Launch milestone for JRPG WW in recent years
Pokémon Scarlet/Violet (3 days) - 10m
Pokémon Legends Arceus (3 days) - 6.5m
Pokémon Sword/Shield (3 days) - 6.0m
Pokémon BD/SP (3 days) - 6.0m units
Final Fantasy XV (1 day) - 5.0m
Kingdom Hearts III (1 week) - 5.0m
Final Fantasy 7 Remake (3 days) - 3.5m
Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee (3 days) - 3.0m
Final Fantasy XVI (4 days) - 3.0m
Dragon Quest XI (2 days) - 2.65m+ (Japan only, retail only)
Tales of Arise (1 week) - 1.0m
Pokémon games are sold-through numbers while other games are sell-in (shipped units).
These don't count.
>FFXVI losing to dragon quest
holy frick its over
>Dragon Quest XI (2 days) - 2.65m+ (Japan only, retail only)
>Could only barely outsell DQ with a global launch
And people think XII isn't going to be on Nintendo consoles.
DQ will be multiplatform
>Pokémon games are sold-through numbers
why is nintendo the only honest company? imagine if they do the shipped shit
>barely beat island homies number of DQ11
Fricking grim.
Man sad state of the franshise when a new "mainline "ff" is doing this little on launch week and the mindbroken wow14 transexuals will just continue to spam about their tulpa.
>He's already trying to deflect to Nintendo
Just hold your L, guy
So how did Final Fantasy lose its status as an enticing and prestigious series, anyway?
XIV 1.0
>Hire MMO dev
>He says "Younger people dont want to play Roleplaying games. They just play Call of Duty or Fifa so we are aiming for that audience instead"
>Forgets that the majority of top selling games are all RPGs like star rail, persona 5, xenoblade 3, BoTW, TOtK, skyrim, diablo 3, pokemon, Witcher 3, World of Warcraft, Elden Ring etc etc
>Game flops
XIII and XV
13 was one of the big promotions that fell flat in the west.
They made MMOs as mainline games and now they started making action games as mainline games. Meanwhile the audience just wants JRPGs.
literally 2 of stinkers
>2 of
*2 decades of
When it became all about cutscenes and graphics instead of story and gameplay
Based PS1 FF hater. 3 homies in a row will never be true Final Fantasy. At least they were still JRPGs tho.
>t. never played FF
Even the OG ones were focused around being as cinematic as technology would allow.
Cinematic started with 7.
FF before that was theater, a high art unlike hollywood schlocks. Especially visible in FF6 with a whole theater act.
Everything after FFX. It's a whole bundle of shit for no reason and then square keept doubling down.
13 and 15
The rest of the industry caught up. Back when FF7 released it was higher budget than anything. Nowadays there's a dozen more expensive western AAA shit games that release every year.
>spend 2 fricking decade to destroy your reputation
>surprise Pikaschu face people crap on your franchise
FFX was the begining of the end, YES, FFX not FFXII, FFXIII, or even XV.
Pretty much every mainline game after X fricked up in some way.
>XI was an MMO
>XII had a weird combat system and story/characters a lot of people weren't into
>XIII fricked up the next gen leap
>XIV is still an MMO
>XV had it's dev history and being unfinished
And that's also including how slow the games are releasing.
I cant wait to see social media and other sites to spin this as a success
say thank you.
>shipped.
Well, I guess that was a failure. If you are already pulling the shipped data at launch and not sold then it's not doing well. Unless you think it'll match Final Fantasy VII remake sales when it had 3.5m sold in 3 days and sold over 5 million around 4 months after release and that hasn't had a significant update for it in over 3 years since then it's safe to say FFXVI will actually sell less than FFVII remake.
Because Shit Enix literally always reports everything as sales + shipped. They did the same thing with XV. XVI is no different.
FF7R used the same exact numbers, moron.
7R was shipped too
Okay but why would they ship another 1.5 mil if they didn't sell through the first ones
Because most people buy digital.
At a number this low it doesn't even matter if shipped, sold or "shipped+sold". FF franshise keeps declining and square has no one to blame but themself.
every company not named Nintendo reports sales as shipped not actual sales
Se can make 3 mill on a week of product placement. Theres a reason why se innovates and tries new things without the fear of failure.
Ganker is malding
AHAHAHA KYS BARRY
>it doesnt need to sell over 3 million copies
What do you want for the windows edition pcbros? Hope it runs as well as ff7r on steam deck
The only way to save FF is for Square Enix to beg the most influential and successful game developer of the past decade to make FF XVII.
>gacha cattle
no one gives a frick
Considering how fast sales are decelerating I think it's safe to say it's not approaching Elden Ring. That's fine though, since you'd need something really exceptional for that.
>constant shitposting for days saying that the game is a mega bomb and that square is going under
>actually It's 3million in 5 days only on PS5
KEK, I almost feel bad for the shitposters. this is a running gag at this point.
What's next, is Starfield going to flop too?
It sold like shit
Starfield mistake is skipping ps user fanbase
Ff16 mistake is skipping ps4 pc xbox
Both need to learn, Microsoft seems the first one to recognize it with the games coming to pc day one
It's been a week since the game launched in Japan though. We don't know the ratio of digital sales / physical sales either, or shipped / sold units.
You know it didnt actually sell 3 million right?
They will cope like this until hard data is revealed, such is life. Same thing happened with XV. XVI is a repeat in many ways of XV.
Are Final gays the new Sonic fandom?
3 million shipped. Not sold moron.
BARRY JUST GOT GORILLA ASS RAPED IN THE ASS ANALLY
>literally shipped meme + download sales worldwide
>op claims it's physical when no article states that
>shills damage control with i-it's really 5million
Jesus lol
>shipped
isn't this literal cope
No, because shipped means digital, you know, the medium that 99% of people use nowadays.
Pretty sure console games are still commonly sold as physical.
They literally specify between shipped and digital in both articles.
Wow that's not very good
Why did ffxvi flop? Should they have released a ps4 version?
I honestly refuse to accept its only 500k below 7R which had the FF7 brand and covid helping it + stronger Japan reception
7R released in the middle of 'rona logistics problems though.
digital is unaffected and covid pushed gaming revenue a ton
animal crossing is a big one
>shipped
Was FF7R shipping 3.5 million in 3 days also digital and physical combined? Because if it was physical only then FFXVI is selling significantly lower than FF7R
Ff7r was on ps4
It's the same way of reporting numbers. Shipped.
YOSHI-P IS SAVED!
I can't wait for FFXVI part 2.
3 million sold isn't a flop idiots. This game budget is probably low compare to sony 1st party like horizon. FF16 is around returnal level.
>This game budget is probably low
100+ million, only slightly lower than horizon 2.
Sony funds a part of it. and with 3m it already made the budget back
>already made the budget back
SE does not get every single dollar from each sale.
how much do they get?
There's a platform tax (around a 30% cut) + regional tax + retailer cut for physical editions.
AAA game budget is around 50-60 million unless you fricked it up like microsoft with halo development hell.
>barry is still coping by pretending that "shipped" means sitting unsold on a physical store shelf in 20-fricking-23
His psychosis knows no bounds.
so xvi lost not only to zelda but also to diablo.
yoshida-san, our goty...
Shipped means sold. The retailers bought the game and sell it at a mark up. So even if three million copies are sitting on store shelves it's still 3 million sold.
Dude shut the frick up.
Holy cope
It's hilarious how FF14 has mind broken a single autistic fool, and not only that die on the Flopspoken hill like his life depended on it
>Muh MMO dev
Yet 14 keeps bringing in more eyes on FF on par with 7 and 10 at it's peak
>people ignoring the 70$ price tag
It brought more revenue than FF7R. and maybe XV too
they could have made something magical instead they copied got what the frick its OGRRRRRRRRRRE
>check reddit
>they spin it as 3 million sold and say that its a huge success
people really wanna war reality to spin this game in every positive light huh?
Just like resetera kek
Both saying it's sold and not shipped
But they sell them to retailers and that's only the physical copies that are gonna be way less than digital. Like obviously it's not a 1-1 metric but it does seem like you're splitting hairs because you dislike the game or the people who like it.
Yes, I'm sure SE wants them to sit on the shelves and then go to the landfill.
It doesn't even matter. Shipped or sold this is nce again a not turnbased FF declyning in sales.
Why didn't the westerners turn up for this bros?
homosexual instead of a lesbian, they picked the wrong gay
Westerners want every FF to be FF7, except it can't just be FF7, it has to be like FF7 when they were kids.
The majority of sales are definitely Americans. The jap numbers are going to be terrible
Need ''we coming for your kids'' marketing
I have actually plated the game. It is clearly a ff14 asset flip. The budget was likely incredibly low. It is already profitable.
Yes, the animation rigging outside of cinematics is straight up 14.
The budget went almost entirely to the set pieces so I can't imagine it being that high. Especially since this is the first square titles in years that wasn't in development hell.
They will turn a quick buck with this one.
It's also worth mentioning that Yoshida is a Nazi about money
I do hope that we end up getting some kind of CBU3-verse of spinoffs and the like with the new engine and some light asset reuse like From's games.
Well, at least you admit it made a profit now.
KEK
I like the game, moron. However, if you have played 14 you cannot ignore how much of 14 is in this game.
Black person who cares, the game is fun
No it isn't. The combat is shallow and the levels are linear.
XIV STATUS?
DOA
>d-dead on-ACK
What are these numbers supposed to be about? Active players across servers?
>1.4m characters active in the last 2 months
so 800k people per month? not bad
Awaiting patch 6.5
erm...
There is no source for the number in the article that op linked. No twitter post, no press release, no nothing. Square Enix has not said anything about sales numbers for FFXVI.
FFXV had a 50m installbase at the time btw
Not much more than PS5 now
>on two consoles
Only 20% of XV sales were on Xbox One doe.
>shipment
I thought it was sales
nah OP is same metric, shipped plus digital sales is 3 million.
But as other anon told me, it's not an official release so probably best to wait on that either way.
We all love medieval setting like ff6, 9 and 12? Right guys?
lol, that's a fricking pittance compared to xv
Knew this game would have middling or bad sales from the start. Who does it appeal to? Weaboos and japs prefer something like Persona, western normalgays don't want a japified, wannabe western, "mature" game. Not to to mention that FF has been dying for years and and character action games aren't huge to begin with, and that the usual JRPG loving tard prefers four homies in a row combat.
SE should start making smaller budget, more frequent FFs that don't need ten gorillion sales to make a huge profit, IMO.
>shipped less than 15
Barry in absolute SHAMBLES right now
16 chads won
All they have to do is just take the ff7r combat and put whatever rpg elements on top of it. Square always take 2 steps and 5 steps backwards.
this is what happens when you ff tards champion yoshida
he cloned wow, whoop de fricking do
he literally saved the company
yes but now the company is a clone machine
Gacha saved the company
Nah.
moron
You mean gacha?
So, faster PC port incoming?
Word on the street has always been 6 month exclusive.
FF7R was one year exclusive and then it got extended with Intergrade.
Bros what the FRICK happened!!!!!!!!
Raincode is doing a lot better than the lack of a hype cycle would tell you.
You're saying this for a game built out of XIV's bones
What's that 3rd game?
ALSO HOLY SHIT FRICKING TRAIN GAME
Rain Code aka Not!Danganronpa 4
>Rain Code aka Not!Danganronpa 4
Oh nice, good for them. They were so resistant to stop sony exclusivity but once the ports hit they seen the light.
Won't even torrent for free, no rpg.
How did this sell so much less than a rehashed dlc cashgrab like totk? Square must be in dire straights right now seeing these flop numbers.
because the previous game in the series was actually good and they didn't completely change the genre
>doesn't include digital
It will be interesting to see how high the digital sales are, I bought it digitally for the preload+midnight unlock
Not only is the Switch sold like 3 times as much as the PS5, but Nintendo games have THE best attach rate of any console manufacturer. I honestly think maybe only Halo 2 has come close to the attach rate that main Nintendo games get these days.
Can't speak for everyone but I'm way too burned by square enix games that released incomplete day 1 like FF15 and KH3. FF7 was alright but really seems made more for original fans. And Sony does not have bloodborne 2 which is the only reason I would buy a PS5. I also have a top line PC that will run every PS5 """exclusive""" if i wait long enough. Nintendo just made the right move not ever caving for PC port profits
The fact that this news comes one day before the Famitsu numbers and is coming from a third party makes me think this is a primitive cope for when we see the real numbers tomorrow. I'm calling it now. It didn't even sell 500k in Japan.
Oh frick today is wednesday not thursday. Guess I'll do with FTC hearing Bobby Kotick today for entertainment.
Frick, tomorrow's thread is going to be a bloodbath with these projections.
>thread posted 2 hours ago
>Highest PPM
>Already over bump limit
why does Ganker have such shit taste?
Cope.
Did anyone even expect 500k physical in Japan? From the pre-order metrics it seems most were expecting around 300k.
Obviously it didn't. It had 1/3 of preorders XV and VIIR had and those sold 700k physical.
350k is absolute max
Is fair to assume I should skip anything from FF after XII, right?
> Includes physical, digital
Finally get some real numbers. Looking at physical sales only in this age is moron shit. No one should even talk about sale figures without digital.
It's the same numbers square has been using for years.
SE always does numbers this way, inflates them for investors.
+90% digital of a ps5 game selling 1k is still only 10k.
0 Sauce
FFXVI will start selling more in Japan when the Q Lite hits. That's what the Japanese are waiting for.
3 Milly? I prefer NO MILLY
