| zorg1000 said: How is a series momentum determined? By the sales of individual titles or the total sales of a larger number of titles? Lets say I release a game series 2023-Zorg 1000 Adventure (3 million sales) 2025-Zorg 1000 spin-off #1 (800k sales) 2027-Zorg 1000 Adventure 2 (2 million sales) 2027-Zorg 1000 spin-off #2 (500k sales) 2028-Zorg 1000 Adventure remaster (1.2 million sales) 2028-Zorg 1000 spin-off #3 (300k sales) 2023-2026, 3.8 million sales (1 mainline+1 spin-off) 2027-2028, 4 million sales (1 mainline+2 spin-offs+1 remaster) Would this be a series in decline or upward momentum? |
I loved the original Zorg 1000 Adventure, but it was a shame how the lead developer left before Zorg 2. It was his passion that drove the series and the sequel is just an empty cash grab without him. That's why sales slumped and they had to resort to remastering the first game to pull in more revenue.
Jokes aside, I don't play Final Fantasy so I don't have a dog in the fight, but I agree, that it doesn't sound like port begging to say that Square Enix would be more successful by porting to the Switch going forward. I can see why they wouldn't port to the original Switch as the specs aren't on par with what FFXVI needed, but between DLSS and the diminishing returns of more powerful hardware that sounds like a good way to earn more on what must be a very expensive game to make.
