Ever since Kingdom Hearts III officially finished development, fans were extremely hyped for this long-anticipated game. Now, Kingdom Hearts III has been out for only a week and it is already doing very well. Today, Square Enix announced that Kingdom Hearts III has crossed five million copies shipped. This number includes physical shipments and digital copies sold.
The announcement that Kingdom Hearts III has crossed five million copies shipped was made via Twitter:

With five million copies shipped in its first week, Kingdom Hearts III is now the fastest-selling game in the franchise. It’ll be interesting to see what the long-term numbers look like but for now, I’d say Square Enix is likely extremely happy with the performance of this long-awaited game.
If you’d like to learn more about the plot of Kingdom Hearts III, here’s the official description of the game that in no way, shape or form does its story justice.
Here’s the official description for the game:
Behold the power of friendship. Follow Sora—an unknowing heir to a spectacular power—through a vast array of Disney and Pixar worlds as he unites with iconic characters like Donald Duck and Goofy to stop an evil force from overtaking the universe.
