A new report has emerged which claims that Final Fantasy XVI sales are sitting at around 3.5 million, a figure that seemingly encapsulates the game's sales on both PC and PlayStation 5.
This figure comes via analyst Hideki Yasuda (note: article is in Japanese, so we're using machine translation), who cites recent comments by Square Enix head Takashi Kiryu during a financial results briefing call.
As a reminder, Square Enix said back in September that both Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth had not met its "expectations" with regards to sales, so it looks as though the company was expecting more than the 3.5 million figure quoted here.
Yasuda also reiterates that the Dragon Quest 3 remake outsold expectations, calling the game a "huge hit" and pointing to its two million sales (at last count; that figure may well have increased since then).
It's been almost two years since Final Fantasy XVI was released, and a few days after the game's initial launch in June 2023, Square Enix said it had shipped three million copies.
However, it's important to note that "shipments" and "sales" aren't necessarily the same thing; it is, after all, entirely possible that not all...
