Report: Final Fantasy XV sales nosedive in Japan

The PS4 Pro isn't faring much better.

According to Gamingbolt, it looks like Japan isn't taking too well to Final Fantasy XV, because the week two sales for the game are pretty poor, falling by 88% with less than 80,000 copies of the game sold.

Final Fantasy is no stranger to second week drops in sales, but there was hope for change with this instalment as it hadn't done as well in the first week. This isn't the case, however, and the same trend continues on, with Final Fantasy XV falling to fourth in the charts.

PlayStation 4 consoles, however, are doing well in terms of sales, although not the PS4 Pro, only making up 10% of these. Are you surprised by the drop in Final Fantasy XV sales?

Final Fantasy has sucked ever since Enix bought out squaresoft. Taking a classic battle system with traditional JRPG tactics and changing them to action based button smashing was the final straw for many fans of the game. FFVIII remake will also do poor because of the action based changes they've made.

Wonder if sales would be better if they named it something other than 'Final Fantasy'? Each new game seems to move further and further from the early ones that they may as well belong to a completely different series.
