In spite of good reviews, FF16 shipped + sold digitally 3m in 7 days, down from 3.5m in 3 days for FF7R and 5m in 24 hours for FF15. Hopefully Square learns some lessons from this such as don't skip Xbox and PC launches, bring back JP style art designs and writing instead of chasing after WRPG's, bring back full parties with playable party members, and do a much better job on the technical side of game development instead of releasing a fast paced DMC like action game that is basically locked to 30 fps and causing some PS5's to overheat. |
And of course, seeing that Ryan wants us to believe Square is telling him that GamePass is value destructive and not exclusivity deals.
