“With 38 million PS5 consoles shipped globally (as of March 31, 2023), sales of Final Fantasy 16 surpassed three million units worldwide several days after its release on June 22, 2023,” Square Enix said. In a statement from Square Enix issued exclusively to IGN, the company pointed to the difference in install base between the PS4 when Final Fantasy 7 Remake came out, and the install base of the PS5 when Final Fantasy 16 launched last month. The debate was fuelled by a Bloomberg article that pointed out sales of the game in Japan had dropped dramatically in the second week after launch, that initial sales had “lagged” behind previous games in the long-running role-playing series, and Square Enix itself was “grappling with weak momentum” on its flagship franchise.
