Giant Bomb: "Final Fantasy XVI's Sales Numbers Are Probably Ahead of What Square Enix Were Even Expecting".

According to folks at Giant Bomb, Final Fantasy XVI's first sales data (3M copies in less than a week) are probably ahead of Square Enix's expectations.

Jan: "I think that's very impressive, especially when we consider how hesitant and scared Square was with the small pre-order numbers and everything. With only 40M PS5's, and this being a very different Final Fantasy, i think this is a good pace."

Grubb: "They did a good job of taking whatever momentum they had and really amplifying it with a lot of great word of mouth out of that demo and seemed to be the thing that really powered it over the finish line here and got it off to a really strong start. 3M copies sold, I think this is probably ahead of what they were even expecting for something on a PlayStation 5, that again, only 40M units out there. I also think this is a game that is going to sell well into the PlayStation 5's life."
