First Week Shipments for Kingdom Hearts 3 in Japan was 870K
- Thread starter Wise
- Start date
Kh3 must have had decent digital sales then with such a big shipment. Surely it joins the ps4 million seller list.

For sure it's going to hit the million seller list with digital, but in this case I believe those numbers correspond to shipped (Physical) numbers only
I had heard that it sold first week around the same as FF15 in Japan. Which is kinda crazy to me in regards to how KH and FF have equalized there(whether its due to KH being more popular or FF becoming far less popular isnt the point). Can totally see it reaching 1 million in Japan at some point
I mean, in the sales thread people were doubting 2mil, which seems reasonable, and we already know the sold through number as well.
1mil is not so much a matter of if, but when
Kingdom Hearts removed almost all the Final Fantasy reps, coincidence?
(Maybe)
Haven't finished the game yet but after 10hrs I can tell it's been given a ton of love.
Interested to see how the story goes (the big KH3 story but also the smaller ones on each world)

Its Kingdom hearts. You may not like it, hell I don't, but its going to sell like crazy lol. Glad to see it pushing big numbers and selling well in Japan. I'm sure it will worldwide. From the impressions and reviews I read the game deserves it.
That's the point a lot of people miss when talking sales for this game.
The series reviews well, has a huge fan base and has the biggest brand in history attached to it, yet people keep acting like it'll definitively underperform because the story's confusing.
Exactly. Thirsty fans + end of the trilogy + Disney = big numbers. I don't care how batshit the story is.
Well deserved. Playing and enjoying the game really well made and can tell a lot of effort went into it in all areas
Assumption and consideration of the fact KH3 sold at most around like 70% of its initial shipment.

True. Mods should update please. Would be appreciated. RE2 did really well too

First week sales for Kingdom Hearts 3:
Dengeki: 545,000
Media Create: 610,077
Famitsu: 640,406
First week sales for previous entries:
Kingdom Hearts - 464,880
Kingdom Hearts 2 - 727,591
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days - 295,205
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep - 445,962
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance - 213,579
Final Fantasy XV - 690,471
Pretty great start for KH3. Basically similar to Final Fantasy XV (although in XV's case, it wasn't as good since the FF franchise is historically bigger in Japan than those sales). It'll be interesting to see if it can replicate similar sales to XV outside of Japan, since that will easily make it the best selling KH game.
All things going well, and depending on what the sales figures are beyond Japan, KH3 could end up a 10 million seller long-term. Alongside FFXV which is en-route to the same milestone, that'd be a pretty great showing for Square Enix's Japanese AAA arm.
And then with FF7 Remake likely to be the strongest selling contender of the three, that'd wrap up a pretty strong generation of big hits.

I still don't understand lol
Also Famitsu says 60-80% sell-through so it would at most 80%.
You don't understand where they get the estimates? That's the famitsu way.
I don't understand how people come up with digital estimates from a retail shipment.
And RE2 sold 0k on PSN going by the same. Makes sense lol
These are Famitsu's shipment numbers, Dengeki has different shipment numbers since there is a big discrepancy in sell-through numbers too.
It depends of the region. Here in Brazil we only use "," for decimals.
If he can be a bit more efficient then I think he's the best SE got. He made something special with KH3
