FFXV made bank tho

Given how long it was in development hell, I doubt it made a profit. Which is why they had to cancel their like decade long DLC plans.

It made back budget in its first week alone

Another misleading consideration.

At launch ffxv sold like 5 to 6 mil.

But see, after that, it hasn't sold that much.

Lifetime sales atm are around 8 or 9 mil.

So in a year it has only sold like 3 mil.

That initial 6 mil might have broke even, but breaking even is not good enough.

In comparision, skyrim sold 7 mil in the first week and has 30 mil lifetime so far.

This is what kind of sales they wanted thinking arpg open world means you hit those numbers.
Their analysts were wrong.
