| Qwark said: And JRPG's on PS5 usually sold way less than on Nintendo platforms. One could argue exclusive Nintendo sells more than multiplatform releases. Not a single (typical) JRPG released on PS5 could even hope to come remotely close to Monster Hunter Rise. FF16 did somewhat decent, but no JRPG on PS5 alone will come close to the 10 million mark. Meanwhile every Pokémon game, technically a JRPG easily outsells it by a lot. Even Pikmin and Xenoblade will sell more than pretty much every JRPG on PS5 outside of FF mainly/FF7 remake titles. JRPG sales on Xbox are so minimal, usually way less than a million when at full price that they are not really relevant in this discussion. Exclusive for Switch and PC/mobile is a much more viable route for most JRPG titles. Since you can also save a lot off Dec cost on making it pretty like FF Rebirth those pretty pixels cost a shit ton. |
Monster Hunter Word sold 13 mi+ on PS4 as of November 2020. I believe 14 mi+ is on the table currently. How much have sold Rise on Switch?
There are several JRPGs that sells a lot on Playstation. Tales of Arise (literally the best selling title in the franchise so far), Dragon Quest, Persona. They won't become Switch exclusive anytime soon.
