World of Final Fantasy sales: 0.77m
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD sales: 1m
Final Fantasy XV sales: 5.44m

You tell me
To be fair, Type-0 was a port of a handheld game no one cared about to begin with and World of FF was targeted towards a younger demo graph. I'm talking about a numbered style game with original characters/story with next gen graphics designed for powerful console/PC first. Basically, could Squenix release something like a numbered entry without using the number? Would FFXV had sold better or worse if it was still called Versus?
