Why do people keep saying this like the last KH game that came out was 15 years ago?

Because you usually don't wait that long for a main/numbered game.

The game definitely deserve it. Awesome news!

KH3 sold more than Smash Bros. Ultimate and Red Dead Redemption 2?

This is all nice, but what was the cost of such achievements?

A broken fandom.

A monster unleashed.

And questions that will not be answered for years.

I'm not sure what kind of world we're living in now...

Yeah but Dragon Quest was just way more popular in Japan Sora has to make it at the Game Awards if it isn't Crash Bandicoot.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Wakeless!

This is amazing! I'm so proud that KHIII has done so well! After all these years of waiting, the game definitely deserves it, as it was an amazing conclusion to the Xehanort Saga and a harbinger of what's next for the series!

I just wanna know how much sales have increased! Cuz last we knew it was 5 million. When will we get an update on that?

[Dustin Lübbers 933]

Great news now that should give square some insentive to not keep as waiting as much as they did next time around

KH1 - 2002

KH2 - 2005

BBS - 2010

KH3D - 2012

KH3 - 2019

I'm just saying, the people who keep touting the whole "I've waited 15+ years for this game!" literally didn't play any games after KH1, meanwhile, the announcement to development to release of FFXV is literally more than any individual gap of main KH titles. FFXV literally came out on its 10th year anniversary

In 2019 yes. Remember SSB and RDR2 were released in 2018 so both games had most of their sales prior to the release of Kingdom Hearts III.

Do any of you guys know when the next report of sales numbers is supposed to come out? Because last you informed us, the game had sold five million copies, but that was quite a while back. Do you think that the game reached ten million copies, or perhaps more?
