Final Fantasy XV tops 5 million units worldwide

Final Fantasy XV has already exceeded 5 million units shipped to retail and sold via digital storefronts according to an announcement from Square Enix today. These global launch figures apparently earns it the title of “fastest selling game in the history of the Final Fantasy series”.  They didn’t provide any other statistics or metrics to compare by, so we’re going to take their word for it.

We’re still hard at work on our review (it’s a massive game obviously), but apparently that’s not going to make a huge difference in sales at this point!

Read on for the announcement from Square Enix.
