FF7 Rebirth has reportedly sold half what Remake did in the same timeframe

I don't bet and not online, so sorry, but I stand by what I said. Square-Enix has clearly said they want their top HD content on the Switch 2 basically (they name it as Nintendo platforms because it's not officially announced yet) ... too bad so sad, maybe you should have spent some of that money on Forspoken (lol) or FF7 Rebirth instead of trying to make wagers on a message board. 

Economic reality bites Square in the ass, can't say I'm not happy about it. Ironic too that it's Final Fantasy VII (Rebirth) that broke the camel's back and finally made them go crawling back to Nintendo. Delicious irony in that. 

But ultimately smart move on their part, Persona is a booming RPG series and a part of that is because they are embracing the Switch platform and bringing in new users that way, Square-Enix probably looked and that and then looked their sinking sales of their last three big HD products and it simply became "what the hell are we even doing?". 

All good my friend.  You believe but not really.  

I'll happily support square when they support PC, which they specifically said they are going to do.  So I'm happy.  I'll be getting a S2 day one for 1st party and run everything else on my 4090.  

Enjoy my friend.

Nintendo platforms (well Switch 2) will be getting the games too. So you can do the math on how that is going to have to work any which way you want but it looks like it's happening. Tough shit I guess for people who want to keep those kinds of IP locked off Nintendo platforms, looks like your run is at an end. 

The irony of these rising budgets is it means inevitably because more money is at stake, business oriented suits are becoming the presidents/head leaders of all these companies, even Sony's top president wants multiplat. That attitude ultimately though is good for Nintendo, it eventually leads to those same suits eventually asking "well why aren't we on Switch?" and no one can oppose them in the board room because everyone is about maximizing profit. 

Ultimately all of that was good for Nintendo because dumb biases against them and emphasis on weird priorities (graphics instead of chasing the largest audience possible) are falling to the wayside. 

Nintendo is likely about to enter a generation where they're going to have better 3rd party support than at any time since the SNES era as a result.
