I'm impressed by the numbers. In a week, ffs.

 

How do they manage to generate the hype and enthusisasm to sell as 1.76 million games in a week? Plus does this skew the "console's more profitable than PC" idea?

Just make a game and write anything about final fantasy to the cover. It should sell more than 500 000 copies..

A lot of Final Fantasy hype is self generating It's a part of the culture almost. Wish I had kept the link to the TV add for the FF drink someone posted because that was funny

 

I dont think so. While FF is exceptional the sales are higher overall on consoles anyway.
