The game is still sold out everywhere, with strong demand, and lackluster supply. It will reach 3m shipped easily. Not possible? on what grounds? I am not talking about FFVIIR here, rather a ground-up developed for the Switch FFVI R. It would sell gazillions. And obviously they do not hate money. But companies are run by people and people make mistakes, or make wrong decisions. For example, Nintendo used cartidges for the N64, Capcom making RE4 exclusive to GC, MS bundling Kinect with XBone, Sony PS3 specs and consequent price point. And believe me, companies like Square Enix and Capcom are scrambling to put games on the platform as we speak. They have definitely been caught with their pants down. PS: Locking yourself in the 20m install base is not as stupid as it sounds. First of all, it will not stay at 20m, it will grow considerably, and install base is not always as important. Wii had 100m + install base and noone even used the thing, let alone buy games for it. Switch owners hunger for quality, exclusive content. |
it's 1 million shipped with digital included, i think this games sales will fall of a cliff personally and be lucky if it reaches 2 million shipped.
capcom and square are scrambling ? all i see is low budget games.
As a business decision is stupid to lock yourself to a 20 million user base, and that why nobody is really doing it, unless it's a low budget project, that's targeting 1-2 million sales. imagine a ambitious developer lets lock out over 200 million users with PC gaming rigs included, and choose to go exclusive on the weakest hardware, which is really gonna limit what they want to do.
