This port begging is incredible.

Going to quote that again to showcase the opposite side is no different. Not necessarily always port begging, but if you were to have something else bomb on the otherside it happens, I cannot wait till Dragon Quest gets dragged into this. 

I don't understand lol

I maybe out of it, so I don't even know what I mean. However I think it was something like if Monster Hunter bombs, you will get the same reaction. Also I remembered Dragon Quest that will be a fun war in the sense it will be stupid. 



 

Is about 1 million with digital sales included, still low.

The other Asian markets should make up for the loss of interest in Japan for traditional gaming, console games are growing outside Japan, Yakuza is a growing franchise in other Asian territories.

"t's time for Final Fantasy to come home" XD

Really.  The only thing I have to say to them is, "Don't hold your breath."  Well, unless you want spinoff games.  The truth is, while Nintendo keeps aiming for lower-end power, some devs just aren't going to be interested in making games for the system.  Sure, the Switch will be a powerful tablet, however, it's not going to be anywhere near powerful enough to run FFXV and FF7:Remake.  And the latter I don't expect to make it on any other platform but PS4 and PC.  When it comes to FF7, Sony has always kept a close relationship with SE.  It, and its spinoffs, have never appeared on another manufacturer's console.

Personally, given the state of console gaming and the poor decisions SE took with FF13 and the sequels for it no one wanted, I think FFXV did well.  I'm sure WW sales for it will be really nice, too.  Though, I'm actually more interested in how well FF7:R does.  I think a Pro bundle for that game would be a very smart move by Sony.

Receipts? Where do you get 300k digital?

The majority of Japanese games are already quite a few levels below the West when it comes to development budget, so that doesn't make much sense. And companies only care about maximising profits. The alliance with Sony is just hurting them. They should abandon the ship while they can. Playstation isn't big anymore in Japan. People need to accept that.

In the time it took them to make one FF game for the PS4, they could have made 3 mainline FF games for the 3DS. Just recently some people were bragging about FF being the king of jrpgs. Please, it's not even in the top 3 jrpgs of Japan anymore.

If the Switch can run Dark Souls 3 then it will be powerful enough for the far majority of Japanese developers.

Their budgets may be lower, but they are still very interested in pushing HW as much as they can with that budget.  SE going backwards in terms of power would not satisfy their developers.  And their alligience with Sony is putting them at the forefront with the market leader this gen.  Not exactly hurting them. 

Besides, FF is a WW franchise.  While we can't even guarantee that FFXV would have sold better in Japan if it were only on the 3DS, I would bet you anything it would have sold MUCH worse WW.  Core gamers outside of Japan are not very interested in getting their mainline FF games on a HH with near-PS2 level graphics.  The point of a new gen is to progress in graphics. 

It's why I said don't hold your breath if you're expecting all of these devs to move over to the Switch with PS4 dominating.  It's 1st party support will be great and it should get some decent support in Japan, but unless it catches fire sales-wise, other 3rd parties aren't going to be so keen on supporting it.

heh, I love it

Despite all the hate it got RE6 outsells 4/5. Great since I think it was better than 4/5 too

On this day, you made an enemy out of me, do you hear Ka-pi! AN ENEMY!
