Yeah 80/20 not 90/10Er, wasn't the Type-0 split around 80/20?
I never though that would be indicative of a mainline game thought

Really surprised Rocket League is number 1. Though I guess pretty much everyone who missed it with Plus buys it because their friends have it. What an incredible success story.
Perfect example of how giving your game can be the best thing you can do.
Unrelated but what do you think of a certain website with z(zzzzlol) in it these days?Console SW was down about 12%
PSN top sellers for December

nah. the perfect example for that would be the F2P mobile games, that generate billions
Wtf? GAF voted FFXV as one of the top 5 failures of the year?
.....fucking why? I am loving this game.
I'll have to continue to take my grains of salt around here.
Anyway, extremely excited to hear that the game is a success.
Rocket League wouldn't. Those games are created to be free.
The fact it did so well even on xb1 is what really impressed me. Can't wait for FFXVI and hopefully FFXV-2
OP might want to add it did well on Xbox too according to this:
Not only the West, but also the rest of Asia. Just as of Dec 27 FFXV had sold hundreds of thousands in China and was #2 behind Japan in Asia. Looking forward to the updated numbers for Asia soon.
Right now I just want to go and drink a cold one with Tabata.

Retail?
EWWW. Japan has so many good writers.
They should just hire the writer of Fate Zero/ Thunderbolt Fantasy
Boom done.
GTA V still in the top 10 on both platforms.
lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
One game in a genre with no competition vs a game in a genre with a bunch of competition.Never thought Id see the day Forza outpaces Gears.
Hasn't it been in the top 10 since like it came out? I don't see itt changing anytime soon until red dead comes probably.GTA V still in the top 10 on both platforms.

To be fair, likely hasn't. Gears opened way bigger than FH3 in the US. So while it was higher in December we have no idea what it did in NovemberNever thought Id see the day Forza outpaces Gears.
The uncharted bundle has been on sale since September. Those are just December numbersUncharted 4 PS4 bundle did 1.2 million. As of December 21, Uncharted 4 was announced to be at 8.7 million sold.
So, 8.7 - 1.2 = 7.5 million UC4 LTD stand alone without bundles.
But then we also know there has been UC4 bundles in other countries (but they were not the only one like in US), so lets eat more 500k from that (which I think it is kind of high but this way we get at least a minimum basis). So, 7 million stand alone for UC4 in 2016. UC4 didnt chart in the top 10 best sellers of 2016 and FFXV did at #10. Which means Final Fantasy XV has already sold AT LEAST 7 MILLION UNITS!
Is my math right?
Either way, FF is alive bitches.
Whatever my qualms with XV, on balance I still really liked it. It doesn't represent the direction I want the series to go, but still happy about this news because:
1. Increases chances of more big budget console FF titles post VII Remake, and
2. Tabata and team worked so damn hard (and, I think, smart) to turn the game around. I'm glad they score a victory!
Look at the total votes vs votes for 15, it was like 2-3 votes away from being 6th and only got 2% of the vote. In theory you could have easily gotten a small group of trolls to make anything get into the top 5.
FFXV is in my top 10 favorite games of 2016 and it's also my most disappointing game of 2016. I can see why people love it and why some hate it. It's a very confusing game.
Anyway with the success of XV, I honestly wouldn't mind if XVI was a game similar to XV with the addition of putting someone on the game who is actually good at story telling. The content of XV's story isn't bad by any means but man oh man does the game do a piss poor job of trying to contextualize anything or making anything happening in the story feel meaningful. I still feel that XV is held back from absolute greatness because of devs behind the game didn't put in the work to actually set up the story in a meaningful way.
I don't think they were that smart. The effort put into Kingsglaive should have instead went into strengthening the game's story and events. Promotional material like the Insomnia trailer at Jump Festa, the Dawn trailer and the Omen trailer, all of which weren't in the game were just wasted resources that again, could have been used to strengthen the game's story and events while avoiding misleading consumers who think they're getting one thing but end up with something entirely different.
But yeah, I'm glad it seems to be selling OK. I want them to move on and do better with XVI on a big budget.

FFXV sales included digital already guys

But they really need to drop the Open world in the next game and make something more linear (like the old ones, not linear like XIII) and story driven
It's hard, or probably impossible, to make a game with forests, snow areas, volcanos, deserts and a bunch of cities like FF IV to IX if they try to make all of this in a open world.
Why don't more big budget Japanese games ever hire those writers?
