FFXV is already being discounted in Japan
Since the Media Create numbers were released there were lots of comparison with the other mainline titles in Japan, and news about about the shipped numbers of FFXV.
So, assuming a million units of copies shipped in Japan, and the game being released on Tuesday, we have a very frontloaded game, in terms of sales.
At some stores in Japan, particularly in DORAMA Stores, FFXV is being discounted. The Regular Edition is at 5,980yen (originally 8,800yen) and the Deluxe Edition is at 9980yen (originally at 12,960yen). There are also quite a bit amount of second hand copies, so this time will be very difficult to sell all the units shipped to retailers. The biggest online e-commerce website in Japan, Rakuten, also has the game at 20% of discount.
