On top of that, there really was an over-saturation of shooters this year, with Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and CoD IW and MWR competing against Gears 4 as well as people deciding to keep playing Overwatch.A lot of complaints I've read about Gears 4 was that it was more of the same. Though, to be fair, a lot of praise was essentially the same argument.
FFXV, on the other hand, changed quite a lot of the typical FF formula.
Sorry bro read your post wrong
Good short term sales and bad lifelong sales?

FFXV was a big budget JRPG, which there aren't a lot of on Xbox One.
Why bad lifelong sales? It is going to have good legs since they will keep releasing free content patches that add more to the game and they also have a Season Pass with DLCs that will be released throughout the year. Finally they might end up releasing a GOTY edition with all DLC and also a PC port in early 2018.Good short term sales and bad lifelong sales?
I am happy to hear that the game did well. It is on its pace to be the top 3 best selling FF behind VII and X. Impressive all things considered.
I am also glad we are finally going to see a brand new FF

This is nothing but good news. If anything this might mean a push towards ARPG combat, but that's about it. Every mainline FF is so different from one another it's ridiculous. XVI will probably be something vastly different from XV.
No Thanks. Too hardcore for a casual series.I hope it's gotta be a Souls Final Fantasy.

Nope. It won't come close to the sales of the X remaster, which were around 500k or so in NPD. X remaster sold better than Lightning Returns.On a different tangent, what do we think this might mean for FFXII HD? The game style and aesthetic of FFXII is more popular in the west now than ever before. Stuff like Vagrant Story and FFXII felt ahead of their time for the western console audience. With FFXV selling successfully, could FFXII HD end up doing far better than expectations?

Can we get worldwide releases for games like Persona now?
In UK, it was 79/21.Can't find anything in the OP or the GIbiz article, so:
Any informations about the FFXV split between the PS4 and XBO?
I hope this means Square Enix will abandon the Xbox One ship, maybe we could actually get that 1.5+2.5 Remix Kingdom Hearts pack?pls
Perfect! Thanks MalikIn UK, it was 79/21.
In US, it is 70/30.

Couldn't have said it better myself.Great news, hope it means good things for the future of the franchise, even if this one didn't do it for me.
20-30% of 1.5M physical copies is a pretty large number of copies, and well worth a port.
20% of 200k copies probably isn't.
In UK, it was 79/21.
In US, it is 70/30.
So obviously the game is a tremendous success that exceeded everyone's expectations, but what made it sell so well? is it because it was an open world and open world is the hottest thing this gen (just like how cinematic shooters were last gen) or is it because FF is just a really strong brand still?
In short, what are the main reasons for such an unexpectedly huge success in a pretty declining genre do you think?
I see it more as laying the foundation for better sales of KH3, because otherwise KH3 will probably bomb and bomb hard. I do understand your point, its just a shame Square isnt even giving the Xbox crowd a chance.

Bought it on Ps4, not played it yet, awaiting the PRO patch.
Any news ?
Goes to show how irrelevant the Japanese market has become.
I wish it was a Persona 5 thread, a better game that will have limited success because it isn't called Final Fantasy.
