Final Fantasy 15 Needs to Sell 10 Million Copies to Succeed
As has been abundantly evident from the last 24 hours' worth of Final Fantasy 15 activity, during which Square-Enix unveiled not only new details on the game but a custom-made Audi, an extremely expensive-looking feature film, an anime series and more, a lot of money has been spent on the latest entry in this long-running series. It begs the question: just how much does FFXV need to sell to recoup that evidently enormous investment?
At a press conference this morning, director Hajime Tabata answered that question:
it needs to sell 10 million copies, worldwide, over entire the life-span of the game. For context, that's more than any Final Fantasy game has ever sold except Final Fantasy VII, almost twice as much as The Witcher 3 has sold so far, and twice as much as Metal Gear Solid V has sold to date.
