It did sell well however, selling over 3.5 million copies in the first 10 days. I don’t know how high Squeenix’s expectations were but it’s wild they thought it would sell higher for a game that only released on the PS5.

Best selling game in Japan, 3.5+M units sold. What the hell did they expect?

Apparently they expected selling more than FFXV

The last numbered instalment, Final Fantasy 15, remains the series’ fastest-selling entry with 5 million units shipped and sold digitally in its first 24 hours alone. This was across multiple platforms, however.

This times 100. I’m a massive FF fan. While there is debate in my mind about the combat system, I can’t even play it because I don’t have a PS5.

Hoping to get one eventually but the PS4 and Switch still have value. If SE want my money, they’ll have to wait.

I can’t justify buying a PS5 for 1 or 2 games. Still waiting for a release on PC as well. But as soon as it releases elsewhere, I will buy it :).

Have you heard of a little company called Disney?

I want you stop for a second and think about how long Final Fantasy has been around (NES) then think about how many other franchises from that time still exist. Then maybe try this comment again.

Maybe they should release it on other consoles then.

So that may explain their recent commitment to release games also on XBox.

Shouldn’t have sold exclusivity to Sony then. Who would have guessed that releasing exclusively on one console could lead to less sales?
