If Capcom can manage it, why can't Square?
|
cause its not worth it to invest and then people don't play because of the monthly fee
|
But Square wants it on 360... they must feel it's worth the investment. Capcom did, and it paid off for them already.
|
yeah square want it on 360 but will investing money be worth it if only some people play and other are turned off by double fee
SE aren't doing it because of that reason
Capcom did it and they are succesfull??????
how do you know they were succesfull and will be succesfull down the line?
i recall they didn't sell that many and heck many of them would have even left it by now
SE is trying to negotiate with MS but they just aren't listening
|
We know Capcom was successful because they said as much in their last financial report. MHFO is exceeding expectations, both on 360 and PC.
Capcom also managed to broker a 2-for-1 subscription deal (basically MHFO buyers get 9 months of Live with it). I guess Square just sucks at negotiating.
|
you know that FF is a much bigger franchise and MHO sales are not enough for FF games
and capcom saying exceeding expectations means nothing,hell sony were losing so much but they were saying the same in 2006,07,08.09
also capcom brokering anythign doesn't mean that SE will do it.if you know SE are very greedy now
you are comparing FF14 to MHO an old game
|
Actually, MH's bigger at this point, at least in Japan. MHFO already sold almost as much as FFXI PS2 in Japan too (125k to 150k), and FFXI was simultaneous PC/PS2, while MHFO came years later than the PC version. MH3 is the best selling game in Japan to ever carry a subscription fee, and afaik it's actually the only Japanese developed subscription based game to ever sell over a million worldwide.
Capcom saying they met expectations on something means they probably did. They're not Sony, they don't have a track record of distortion like Sony, so that's not really relevant to anything.
|
Yeah it really is bigger. I mean, the latest full Monster Hunter game totally outsold the latest Final Fantasy game... Even in Japan.
|
MH3's going to have outsold FFXIV by like 5 to 1. Both are basically MMOs, and both require a monthy subscription for that. Hell, every MH game that requires a subscription (MH, MHG, MH2, MHG Wii) outsold FFXI in Japan too, bar MHFO, and it will soon enough.
The last full MH without a subscription (MHP2G) outsold the last full FF without a subscription (FFXIII) by 2 to 1. MoHun's definitely a bigger IP in Japan at this point.
