Final Fantasy 16 has become the fastest-selling PS5 game in Japan after it sold over 335 thousand copies in its first week alone.
The Square Enix title has had an overwhelmingly successful first week after it managed to sell 336,027 copies from June 22 (its release date) until the figures were taken by Famitsu on June 25, 2023. Since that was a whole five days ago, we can only imagine how much more that figure has grown over the last few days.

From June 19 - 25, the Nintendo title sold 25,115 units, which is quite a bit less than Final Fantasy 16's 336,027 copies, but Square Enix still has a bit of catching up to do before it can match Tears of the Kingdom's 1,697,225 total units in Japan.
