All that matters to me is that each of tho three are great games. Well above the average game in the market.
It's too bad Square-Enix spent more money making and marketing those games than there were gamers in the marketplace willing to buy those games.
I hope Square-Enix keeps making quality games... I will support them on my end as best I can but I can only buy 1 copy of each game :) |
Thats the strange thing about Square Enix at the moment. Their Western styled games lately have been high quality while their Japanese styled games have been mediocre to awful
Thats why people here demanding them to stop development on western style games and focus on JRPGs are strange. Their JRPGs are a part of the reason Square is falling apart

. Those Japanese games are what's bringing in money. FFXlll series has many praying it ends but its making them money, DQ remakes is making a ton, KH 3DS? yep. This is not first time the sleeping dogs has been cited as not making any money for them. Hitman was also said to under performing and apparently(did it sell 3 mill or is it estimates?) TR is not making the cut either. It has to do with their western style game having budgets waaaay to huge to actually to make any profit. This is a problem in the western side of development in general. Recently some game( I forgot what it is but look up if needed) had to sell about 6mill copies to make a profit. Who the hell that's not Rockstar or Activision sets budgets like that!!??.

The thing is like another poster stated those 3 games alone have brought in 250 million in revenue at least for SE. If 250 million is not enough to even break even how ungodly massive are their budgets? The overall point is SE has some unbelievable mis managment is these games budgets are so massive they have to sell 4 million or more to even break even
