Final Fantasy XV Claims Top Spot in GameStop Most Wanted Holiday Survey
Confirming what we all totally knew, a survey from GameStop placed Final Fantasy XV as the holiday’s hottest item. The brand-new installment in the venerable RPG series beat out the season’s biggest names, even ousting Pokémon for the top spot. The top five results still contain the usual holiday suspects:
- Final Fantasy XV
- Battlefield 1
- Pokémon Sun and Moon
- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
Battlefield and Call of Duty are industry staples, as predictable as the sunrise. Pokémon occupies similar territory. To see them on the list is hardly noteworthy. Final Fantasy, on the other hand, is a rare and welcome change of pace. Fans worldwide have made their voices heard louder than at any point in the history of the series. The impressive early sales speak to the future of the franchise, not just its spot in this survey. Perhaps Final Fantasy XV’s success this year will pave the way for more Square-Enix mainstays next holiday season.
