"Sharp Decline: Japanese Final Fantasy 16 Sales Drop 90% in Week Two"

Sales of Final Fantasy XVI in Japan have plummeted by 90% in its second week, with just 37,763 units sold compared to over 336,000 in its first week. The game was also not the best-selling title in Japan, losing out to Master Detective Archives: Rain Code for the Nintendo Switch. Analysts attribute the poor sales to the game's departure from the traditional Final Fantasy formula and suggest that a significant price reduction may be necessary to boost sales.
