Xbox should just drop Japan if they're actually doing anywhere from 1000 sales and under a week. As someone who bought Persona 5 day one on Japan's PSN, I can't see Xbox getting that Japanese support or being that interested with the sales they get. Even Metal Gear 5 didn't break a million on X1. I'd say FFXV will sell 5-6X as good on PS4 (It might not even break a million on Xbox). I agree with one of the guys that said they would have to end the 3rd party PS exclusive by default (Persona, Digimon, Odin Sphere, Tales, ect.). There's no point though, the games wouldn't sell enough on Xbox to justify reaching out to those Devs. On top of that would Japanese devs want to dedicate resources to see 5 figure sales? If FFXV sells under a million on Xbox would Square want to dedicate resources and time that could go to other things just for a 6 figure sales port for FFVII?

AAA PC ports have been selling better than Xbox ones for a while too. They need to focus on other things.

Just Drop Japan M$.

FFXV and a FFVII remake Xbox One version would more than pay for them self even if they had sub 1m sales in the region of say 500k-900k I'd expect more than that though. Even if you compare the ratio of Type-0 a spin off psp port of 970k on PS4 and 250k on Xbox One the time it took to make it avaliable on the Xbox One would be more than worth it and main entries in the FF series and the FFVII remake carry a lot more hype and interest and probably a very big marketing campaign and would more than cover the costs spent making it avaliable on Xbox One.

At this rate, the PC market will be better to release games, japanese games, than the Xbox.

Metal Gears Solid V sold  nearly better on the PS3 than on the Xbox One, over 1 million units. It sold over 1 Million units on PC with a price-tag of 60US$.

 

If a game with shooter mechanics only sells 1 million on the Xbox One. How do you expect Final Fantasy XV to self-pay  with the money of the Xbox Version ?

Square Enix is the tipe of developer that  6-7 millions isn't a good number for a game. Final Fantasy games  sells 8-10 millions per tittle, on Playstation alone.

FF8, 7 and 13 sold over 1 Million(ff7 surpassed it) on the PC. It is enought to release the game for the plataform, because they get more money from digital sales.
