FF7 has appeal all over the world. It could easily sell another million on the XBox and perhaps up to 2-3 million on Switch. If it was PS4 exclusive or console exclusive, Sony would just say so, in fact they'd be yelling it from every rooftop. It's not. "Play It First On PS4" was always a really odd phrasing that pretty much confirms it isn't exclusive to the PS4. For games that are PS4/PC only, Sony uses the exclusive to PS4/PC moniker, so it can't be that either. These days actually IMO no developer is going to let a game this (likely) expensive to make be exclusive to one platform. There's lots of money to be made from 30-40 million-ish XBox/Scorpio owners and 12-20+ million Switch owners. Game doesn't even look like it's coming out until 2018 at the earliest. |
I think you vastly overestimate the sales on other platforms. I think that X1 and Switch would both make back their port costs, but it's no guarantee.
