Final Fantasy III, the best selling Final Fantasy on the NDS sold ~2Mil at ~$40. If we assume Square Enix as the publisher receives 50% of that amount 2Mil x $20 = $40 Mil. No way in hell Square Enix made more money on the Play Store. (Unless the other ports did better than 500k) |
I would expect the ports to do better, but they're cheaper and "ports" so they'll have better name value. I'm looking directly at a brand new Final Fantasy game made specifically for iOS/Android. I don't have the iOS numbers, but I'll assume it's in the same ballpark. But at a price of 20 dollars for a million sales, when Kingdom Hearts 3DS did more than that at around 40, god knows a Vita port would have done huge with the 3DS version. I really don't understand Square's reasoning on relying on on the mobile market. Like, if it was multiplatform iOS/Android/Vita/3DS then I'd understand, but it's just iOS/Android...
