Well, not only are your numbers incorrect, you're missing what's most important is that Square hasn't lost any money on those projects (rise of the tomb raider may have lost money but it's not really relevant to their Japanese output). FF15 was profitable on day 1, and KH3 will almost certainly be as well.

Honestly I doubt that it lost money. Square announced nearly 7m sold for it back in November 2017, by now it's probably around 8m sold. If 8m in sales is a loss, the budget was much higher than it should have been. Also, MS paid them for the timed exclusivity, how much is unknown, but I would imagine that whatever they paid Square covered at least 30% of the game's budget.

Also, I agree, FFXV was a definite success, I think it'll hit it's original 10m goal eventually. 

I just didn't know the most up to date figures for it. I know that it started kinda slow, which was to be expected. But the other side of that deal is that MS likely assisted with some of the promotional cost.
