But exclusively to PS4 it will not sell enough to break even, not to talk about profit. If that rumor is true, that would mean SquareEnix is begging for insolvency. Or that Falcom is buying them. Hmm, SquareFalcomEnix. OR..... Sony paid a lot of money to get it exclusively to PS4. At this budget we talk about a really big moneyhat. At least 50M, but 80M seems more likely regarding the loss in sales on a new platform. But that would mean Sony is begging for bankrupty... OR... We assume for a moment that both companies aren't completely out of their mind and this rumor is probably untrue. Which seems to be the best explanation. |
Sony paid for it to be a PS3 exclusive, It will be made for PS4 because SE couldn't release it on time for PS3. They won't put more money on this because of SE incompetence.
I have the impression SE wanted to make this game multiplatform, but they are in debt with Sony now.
Also the person who posted this Rumour on neogaf did not explain if the 120M budget is for the whole project (Originally intended PS3 game + PS4 convertion) or for the PS4 version alone.
