| Squilliam said: The game has probably reached the point where at minimum it'd need to sell 1.5M to break even. However with their other properties not doing so well they'd probably want a minimum of 5M sales. Given the likelihood of Microsoft EDD slapping a few million down on the table for co-promotional support and the extra sales it does make sense we'll see it on the Xbox 360. For what it's worth Nomura may care about it going multiplatform but outside of Japan I don't think he'd care quite as much and chances are the release will be delayed for regionalisation. So chances are we'll see a quick and dirty port like FFXIII which means the game will be released on a few DVDs and may have lower resolution etc on the Xbox 360, this hardly matters in the scheme of things as it never seemed to back in the last generation when such differences were actually meaningful. |
Hahaha, i dont think the port was that bad, just fanboys running riot. but either way its not a significant release my friend. the 360 already got FF13, its resonable to assume a lot of those users dont even know this game exists and i doubt they would care either way, most of the FF fans buy the main installments, but not the spin offs, etc. based on the sales of the FF spin offs, i doubt there is much signifance in a release like this.
imho, i'm almost certain it will go to the 360 because of their financial woes at the moment, and the 360 version of FF13 sold about 1.5 mil copies i think, which is too siginificant to ignore. and there has been some hints anyway that this is already in progress, like their CEOs comments, and the job listing for 360 staff to work on the game.
