1- As someone point out Rise only released recently on non Switch and PC platforms, we know from Capcom's own numbers that Rise sold 8.8m just before the PC release with half the sales being in Japan, this means that Switch alone at that point was around 4.4m in the region to further highlight the liklihood of the Switch version being pass 5m is how all non PC versions only released in January where sales where already around 11.4m.
2- Oh Really in the previous thread when the topic about being multiplatform came up, unlike you this isn't an attack on the user:
"FFXV has sold not much more than 1 million on Xbox. Being multiplatform on console didn't change its overall sales success. XV launched late on PC and XVI will do the same "
My response even to him.
That 1m on Xbox makes up for the 1m they miss out on in Japan, XVI's opening shows the series continues to slide in the region while PC would have given XV another 1 to 2m in sales so again the last entry is only the biggest because of multiplatform releases they helped offset the decline in the region.
The exchange then continued on about an Xbox version you and a few others in this thread have only latched on to Switch as an attempt to undermine the point and justify your conduct, even the original post by someone else had Xbox suggested in it. Do you know what specs Switch 2 will have to oppose such a suggestion? No, a game like FF can even be ported later on down the line after all the are studios who make a living of that which makes this particular attempt at justifying the conduct nonsense after all has The Witcher 3, Doom, Persona 5 etc... suffered on other platforms because the is a Switch version? No.
3- No most of the posts don't say that at all it's again another instance of revising the points put forward to try and justify your conduct, in regards to the argument of someone else suggesting to work on building up a fanbase on another platform is not at all saying prioritize Japan.
4- Difference is Capcom historically have always done better in the west and for decades were considered the most western of all Japanese developers and Atlus were never a massive player in the region until recent times with Sega at the helm, you'll also find P5 has very likely broken 1m link below. SE however are one of the pioneering entities in the region even back when they were two separate companies they're well aware of what appeals to the region, to highlight the absurdity of this part is Persona ironically in which you tried to highlight has shown growth as have other series like Tales and they've done so retaining appeal in the region and increasing appeal elsewhere fact is the problem isn't SE can't appeal to the region they're just not actively trying this is why in the prior thread I put forward the prospect of an Xbox and PC version being the norm as well to make up for it.
