Yeap good examples. *Cough Persona cough Fire Emblem Cough Animal Crossing Cough Minecraft *Cough Metal Gear Solid... Let me clear my throat *Pokemon cough cough cough Monster Hunter cough smt cough musuo (i dunno how to spell this) genre spin offs such as DQ warriors (and LoZ to an extent).
No new ips either like splatoon that just sold over 1.6mil on a horribly embarrassing userbase.
Again FFXV will do very well WW. Numbers will be no lower than 5mil so its doing good but making excuses for its sales in japan need to stop. Game can still get to 1mil there, but people need to stop acting like decline is ok over there because of "markeg changed". Many ips in the west have fallen too, much more than in japan i say and we dont use that for an excuse |
Lmao I didn't bother reading psst the first few lines but did you really just say I'm using excuses and then you went onto make a lot yourself? you listened the exceptions rather then the rule. look at hardware sales for consoles and handhelds compared to last gen. total yearly software sales don't lie either.
2016 Playstation consoles are dominating total software sales but overall they're way down on the halcyon days. and after FF13 on top of more difficult market Japan was never going to warm much to its sequel by the series standards.
So they were dead right to go after the western market and grow it there. BTW the above are called facts not excuses.
