Sony moneyhatting Final Fantasy may make Square money in the short term, but its slowly killing the Final Fantasy brand because less people have an opportunity to play it and it is slowly fading from the cultural zeitgeist.

Also, the 2 million sales number is just an estimate, but what you are supposed to do when a company has radio silence on how well their game is doing? Typically companies love to broadcast how successful their games are. Its not unreasonable to think this game isn't doing as well as Square thought it would do.

Only thing anyone can do.....just relax and wait until square-enix is ready to talk about it. There is also been updates on whatever physical only numbers its doing in japan that implies its doing well. At least enough to be the number 1 selling game for march in japan.

Even with that though, its not enough and you have some people twisting this as a proof that its selling worse than final fantasy 16 in japan......major roadblock in that being no one is stopping to think that maybe in the time period between FF16's release and now that more japanese final fantasy fans have simply opted to buy a digital version since all famitsu does is count disc sales, lol.
