| RolStoppable said: The Final Fantasy discussion this week and the last one has been longwinded, and despite this, has been missing the most basic point: Sony pays for Final Fantasy on PlayStation and Square-Enix happily takes the money. As long as this persists (and it will), there's really no point to all the other discussion. |
This.
I don't think we can have a meaningful discussion about the success or failure of XVI without knowing the details of the deal that was made. Sony is handling the marketing for the game, helped with the development on the technical side of things, and probably payed a big cheque to sequre the exclusivity, and probably the adding the game on PS+ in the future.
Maybe VIIR and XVI could have matched XV numbers if they were multiplatform, but that doesn't necessarily mean XV was more successful from SE perspective.
