Square Enix in its latest financial results briefing shared sales figures for three of its games, as well as discussing information on unannounced games. 

The publisher plans to launch unannounced smartphone games in the second half of the fiscal year and plans to launch big titles overseas, which are being prepared for E3 2018. 

Here are the sales figures:

  • Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age – More than three million
  • NieR: Automata – More than two million
  • Final Fantasy XV – Nearing 6.6 million
Square Enix adds that the core architecture between the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch are similar and developing multiplatform games easier than before. The company will build a basic version of a game then optimize for each platform. 
 
The company says the Switch is good for creating middle-ranged games and it is likely the games will be multiplatform. 
 
Thanks Gematsu.

Didn't they say they would be disappointed if FF15 sold anything less than 10 million units?

No, that was just an extra goal of theirs. SE never needed it to sell that much.

Was super hyped for Final Fantasy XV, I was looking forward to Nier Automata, I ended up loving Nier Automata and thinking FFXV was ok.

FFXV sales will rise significantly once the multiplayer expansion launches and black friday hits (saw it's selling for $15 at Target so assuming other stores will have it cheaper too).

Glad to see NieR:Automata getting the sales it deserves.
DQXI might pass FFXV with Switch and worldwide release.
