Final Fantasy XV ships over 6 million copies

Final Fantasy XV may have taken a decade to release, but it could soon prove to be a success for Square Enix. Back in November, Square revealed the game shipped 5 million retail copies within the first day of release which is really good but it may not be enough. Square Enix has said they'd really like to hit 10 million copies, and Square could potentially get there.

Square Enix revealed today that they shipped 6 million copies of the game, an additional million from the release date. This doesn't mean 6 million copies have been sold to consumers, but rather the number of copies that have reached store shelves. This doesn't count digital sales, so it is entirely possible it has hit 6 million copies sold but we have no idea.

Since Square Enix released the game on one of the last days of November, it is entirely possible they could hit their goal by the end of 2017 if they continue to ship a million copies a month like this. Square promises regular updates, both free and premium, which could help keep the game alive. Square Enix could also boost sales by porting a "complete edition" on PC when all of the DLC has released. We'll just have to wait and see, though.
