Square Enix has insisted sales of Final Fantasy 16 are “extremely strong”, telling IGN the game has sold well relative to the PlayStation 5 install base.
Yeah, their response seems to basically boil down to ‘It’s doing great if you consider it’s ps5 exclusive’, which kinda misses the point. It’d probably have sold even better than 15 if it wasn’t. It’s just strange that they’d neuter their own potential for sales. I’d have bought it too, but I’m already losing interest, and there’s no sign of it coming to other platforms anytime soon.
I already lost interest the second I found out it was exclusive. PC gamers are eating pretty consistently good, I don’t need another final fantasy right now. I’ll get hype when I look through steam one day and see it.
Anymore, I just don’t care about hype and new releases. If it’s a good game, it’ll make its way to me eventually. I have dozens, maybe hundreds of games to catch up on.

They need to port it to PC, then, if they don’t like the sales numbers. I’d buy it, it looks fun.
