FFXIV STILL being credited for SE's Financial Success!!!!

This forum is a very small percentage of the player base. Honestly look in game then look in here. I swear they're playing something else.

While this is true with any mmo forum, I wouldn't expect people who are unhappy/bored of the game to exactly being logged in all the time either, unless they're a masochist.

Only 1.5 Millions ps3/pc combinated sales? i was hoping 4 - 5 millions as minimum is a Final Fantasy game.

Final Fantasy VII (10 million, includes Final Fantasy VII International)

Final Fantasy VIII (8.15 million till 31 march 2003)

Final Fantasy X (8.05 million)

Final Fantasy XIII (6.71 million, Includes ps3&360 versions)

Final Fantasy XII (5.6 million approximately: 2.4 million in Japan, 1.7 million in US, 1.1 million in Europe; 5.2 million shipped)

Final Fantasy IX (2.86 million in Japan; 5.08 million shipped)

After the Low Sales in FFXI, i was thinking Square enix learned Something in 10 years of experiencie. But It seems square enix lacks of knowledge in the MMRPG department.

1.5 Millions is a Great number for a "Average random MMRPG in the market". But For a Final Fantasy Game the sales are low

Considering the first week proves that was MUCH more than SE was expecting, its pretty good. As far as the idea that 1.5 million is 'low' consider that people are giving the stinkeye to anything with a sub fee these days.

SE has said FFXI was the highest grossing FF in history. With the other games, you pay for box and done. For MMORPG, you pay for box, expansions and monthly sub. It's a completely different model. I would not be surprised if in 10 years FFXIV is the highest grossing and profitable FF in history.

Are the sells from the 1.0 boxes included in this number or are this only the ARR boxes?

"Average random MMORPG" that has done something unprecedented with its remake, won multiple awards, and opened the doors to a bright future for it's playerbase. Apparently you missed the part where the current sales/subscriptions far SURPASSED what was deemed a success in Yoshi-P's numbers. Every game doesn't have to have Call of Duty numbers to be a success.

Comparing sales of software on a sub based MMO to single player RPGs in the series... XI has surpassed them all in profit having 11yrs of sub fees. Paid for itself in 3yrs.

You also forget those sales figures don't include ppl that bought 1.0 as ARR was free. Also that sales were halted for a few weeks due to the launch issues/server demand.

Who cares? The company is now positive after yrs of tossing money around on projects and engines that had extremely long Dev cycles. XIII part 1 alone wasted millions and it wasn't a MMO.

Look at the whole picture, not just some sales numbers.

Those figures are not in first months they are years. Ie FFVII that figure was from 1997-2010 "As of May 2010, it had sold 10 million copies worldwide" If you gonna show figures show the first year figures for other FF games then compare. Might still be higher but don't try comparing sale figures that took years to hit when game hasn't even hit a year.

Most sales are within few months of release...
