So a month ago I compared Shenmue 3 with FFVIIR on a few trophy sites...
September 10th:
PSN Profiles: 4,014 (+8%) vs 75,986 (+15%)
True Trophies: 3,514 (+13%) vs 81,663 (+16%)
PSN TL: 4,465 (+7%) vs 90,756 (+8%)
Average: (+9.3%) vs (+13%)
Gotta say I’m pretty impressed that the figures are so close considering FFVIIR releases 5 months later than Shenmue 3 and got it’s first big price cut around the beginning of this period.
The figures suggest that FFVIIR sales are now up to 5,650,000, so allowing for players who aren’t tracked in S3 due to the trophy list error, we get...
PSN Profiles: 373,118
True Trophies: 303,937
PSN TL: 347,444
Average: 341,500
Still not great, but accounting for special editions, duplicate copies and PC sales it’s possible that we’re at least around the 500,000 mark. If the game can maintain 10% month on month growth until the end of the year and the Steam release isn’t a complete flop, the game could end up posting some fairly respectable figures.
Great work as always Tomboz
