"Final Fantasy 16: Sales, Struggles, and Milestones - Assessing the Reception"

The sales of Final Fantasy 16 have sparked a debate about console exclusivity, with some arguing that it has negatively impacted sales while others highlight its success as the fastest-selling PlayStation 5 exclusive. Although the game's launch sales of 3 million copies worldwide are lower than its predecessor, the limited reach of being available only on PS5 and the upcoming PC version may have contributed to this. It remains unclear how profitable the game will be for Square Enix, as its exclusivity deal with Sony likely involved financial compensation and development assistance.
