ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
The other big news is TLG is in the top 10.

The Japanese drink more beers nowadays.
Don't be salty bro.
P5 will do great too for its scope, and probably better than P4.
Also, going full mainstream has its cons too, so be careful with what you wish for
Indeed. Imagine an open world Persona 6...

DQXI please.
Pretty sure The Division was Ubi's best launch for a new franchise in the company's history.

Wow, that's rather good.

tl;dr
Don't mind me, I'm just glad that this bodes well for a PC release.
Its just space GOT
You know after how XIII trilogy went and how XV lore was amazing but story telling absolutly sucked I can see this as a good thing...
It will come over barring the MMO they all have, question is when.
That might be the most disgusting thing I've ever seen

Haven't bought it yet, but this is excellent news
If Japan stops buying console games they sort of need to cater to the West to survive
Also, what is this talk that they cut stuff that could be considered problematic? I never heard anything of the sort

Gears 4 is also bundled so those sales would not be in that list.
XV also had an sale on EU PSN not long after launch. I'm sure it did great in EU.
Year in US sales...
Shooters, sports, and muh FF.
Pokemon didn't make the top 10? That's crazy to me.
Really glad for FF though. I enjoyed XV quite a bit, warts and all.

FFXV a sucess, FFXIV continuing to be a sucess.
Final Fantasy carries on, as Lightning intended.

5 isn't fully voiced? Everything I know is a lie
If Dynasty Warriors can do it, why not Persona!
I doubt that FF7R is going to be open world. It would be a massive waste to try and make something as big as Midgard into an open world only to scrap it because you wont see it again till the very end of the game and even then for just a tiny while.

It was about pre orders.

Those posts looked bad as soon as we saw global shipment numbers and how the game was performing in European markets and US Amazon
Edit quoted wrong person at first oops

I love Pokken!
Deserved, it's a great game. Looking forward for the salt and the crow eating.
It also generated 50% more revenue that FFXIII did in its launch so its not just raw numbers being higher. But the amount of money it made.

Nope it isn't not sure who led you to think that. And while we're at it don't listen to anyone saying it's the next coming of Jesus either.
It's a persona game. It's my favorite persona game. But like with P3 vs P4 resonance will vary. Don't expect anything else. It's not innovative just incredibly well executed given the formula they established + of course the production value upgrades compared to ps2 of course.
The chart is based on revenue, so 3ds games are at a 33% disadvantage.
Also, I dont think they include eshop sales.
Regardless of our individual feelings on the game, I think we can all agree that FFXV deserves praise for this.

I mistook Altus pr I believe it's my fault.
Did I enter the wrong timeline by accident?
Uncharted 4 didn't sell a billion units for the exciting crate pushing gameplay. Plenty of people care about it.
People just don't care about Persona. Sadly.
Well, if it also becomes my favorite Persona game, then it kinda is the next coming of Jesus.
I was absolutely not expecting that to be the case before the extremely positive import impressions.

Oh in that case I don't know what they're planning they might very well try for fully English voiced. Speaking purely based on the JP version.
It's really more prove that the masses care about spectacle. Good story is just a bonus to most.
Lot's more games that sell gangbusters are more spectacles than good stories(not that they can't have a good story but it's more a coincidence).
Whereas tons of great stories have not sold their games even half as well and are seldom million sellers. We don't even need to consider Persona.
Last of Us is really the better game to cite but one game does not prove a trend that's pretty clear by now.
Fantastic. With how much time and money went into this game, I was a little worried it might end up killing Square. Or, well, the mainline Final Fantasy franchise.
They should not hire Gen Urobuchi for anything even remotely close to writing.

IX, X, XI were announced in 2000.
XIII was announced after XII's release.
XIV was announced right after the proper trailer of XIII.

Square really needed this to restore interest and strength recognition with the brand but kudos Tabata pulled it off.
I do think 14 also helped with its constant praisal and being open to the community with yoshi and the community, just the same Tabata did with fans and expos and addressing development fees back. They gambled and work hard and it paid off.
Now bring me Ito FF!!!!!

BD 2 is still working on FFXV and wont be finished till late this year and Tabata has said he doesnt want to work on another FF that early.
BD 1 is doing FFVIIR and it'll take them the rest of the ps4s lifetime and hell maybe even a good chunk of PS5s to finish that.
BD 3 is working on the KHs right now and god knows when thats going to be finished.
BD 5 is working on FFXIV but supposedly they are expanding their footprint and apparently hiring people with single player game experience.
The rest of the BDs are for portable/mobile and DQ so SE just dont have the people to release FFXVI for this console generation.
split SKUs
SM it sold 4.21 million without digital.
Dunno where that puts it on the list. FFXV did an estimated 1.57m (?) in it's month, so I guess that's the bottom limit...
