Yup 🙏 Started when I was a wee lad in primary school and now I'm a 34 year old man with two kids still playing this series lol I hope I get to play FFs until I'm an old geezer
My favorite series along with Resident Evil. I kind of hope XVI isn't the future direction of the series though. :(
Please bring the crystals back!
The dark times are over. FF has truly returned. 😩

That's a lot of Final Fantasies.
I just woke up. I thought wtf is a console doing in this list. But I'm sure it's referring to the genre of Wii games right? (Sports, Sports Resort, Music)

Yeah, it's the Wii Branded games. So add in Wii Fit, Wii Play, Wii Party ect as well.
My favorite franchise period. Heck, my wife and I probably wouldn't even be together if not for FF.
Huh. Biggest shocker here for me is Assassin's Creed's numbers.

I would caution against using this too thoroughly. It has FF7 Remake at over nine million. It isn't.
Amazing series. One of my favorites in gaming, even if they're not all the same high quality. I would have to look through my collection to see how many of these games I own. I triple dipped on a lot of them.
My life was never the same after my cousin convinced me to play FF4DS.

I'm guessing you haven't played XVI because the crystals play a very critical role in that game. They're clearly going nowhere.
I checked out that "Final Fantasy" section on the PS Store and every single one of them already said "Installed" lol
Probably hasn't hit a milestone worth tweeting about, also being on ps plus after just a year probably affected legs. All we know is it's somewhere between 5-10 million, since I'd imagine they would have said if it hit 10
Here's a link to a post from Alex Donaldson this past January (who I'm not tagging with his user name here since he's a busy fellow) gauging FF7 Remake's sales as somewhere between 6 and 7 million. Feel free to dismiss this for any reason under the sun! But it's ample for me.
Furthermore, here's Square Enix's press release regarding FF7 Rebirth's Summer Game Fest trailer, which continues to cite the 'over five million worldwide' number that's been tossed around for three years. Again, I get if you want to dismiss this - and maybe I shouldn't have spoken so empirically earlier! IMHO, it adds up!
perspectives make narratives. This is one helluva milestone that doesn't need silly comparisons.
Mario has sold like twice as much as all GTA combined and probably something like Tetris as well. GTA6 gonna crush again, but you know, any dev would kill to have FF numbers, except for the rare and exceptional bunch that actually outsell it.
Because Square would be shouting about it from the rooftops if it did.
If it sold 7 million they would be doing that
It definitely sold more than 6 million, yet they didn't update.
I reckon they're waiting for bigger milestones like 8 or 10. With Rebirth marketing ramping up later this year, I imagine some more aggressive sales too and they'll surely hit at least 8m.

I knew VII was a powerhouse but this really puts it into perspective.
FF7 sold 7 million is the easiest PR ever
It's been 3 years if it has happened yet they would have said something.
Counterpoint: excluding XVI, the greatness of each game has a negative correlation to the importance of crystals to the overarching plot.
2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 > everything else. (I haven't played 5 yet so can't judge that one).
