Forums - Sales - Square Enix has embarrassed themselves this gen.

I'd also say that their production has dropped off considerably. One new DQ and one new Final Fantasy in 4 years? That's it. It also hurts that all of their new IPs flopped pretty hard.

It is pretty sad. Mario Kart DS alone outsold Square Enix's entire retail catalogue worldwide this week.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

forget about the sales and trying to blame it on not supporting the Wii, its about quality, the games SE have been making for the most part blow. In the PS-PS2 era, hell even the 16 bit era it was hard to even find BAD SE games. the DS/PSP games sell better than the consoles because there are more of them and IMHO their just damn better. Birth by Sleep beats any Square game I played on the consoles. hell so does 358 days over 2. Crisis Core Dissidia World ends with you is the best damn DS game IMHO. THe only Square game I played on the recent consoles that I actually truly enjoy and would recommend and i still play every now and then is Just Cause 2, and that was an Eidos game

Haha you are making Tetsuya Nomura very happy with all that love for his games :P



What I want from a game.

Gameplay > Story > Content > Graphics

Visual Style > Graphics

Smooth Camera, Intuitive Controls

Friction! When everything feels right!

@Kyren  was he really involved in all those products??? i honestly dont pay attention to stuff like that.  Ironically the DS is my least favorite system but it has my favorite SE game. TWEWY, there really isnt nothing else like it. it just works, story is mature without resorting to too much violence. characters arent annoying (FF13). They need a sequel ASAP on 3DS, I dont even want one but I would buy it just for that

YUP! he is creative producer, character designer, base story, concept designer, director in most of them :P having more than two roles for each game.

In FF13 he was only character designer.

IMO. S-E is broken at the executive level.

Everything they touched seems to break this gen.

Square Enix's issue isn't completely the PS3's fault. They put so much effort on the 360, which wasn't really worth it to be honest....

It's not the fault of any console, SE is just making a lot of bad decisions.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

@ gergroy

When i was writing that Wii has over 50% of the market, i was referring to the japanese market.

@ shadowsoldier

All that you wrote was true, but it isn't want i wanted to show actually, i only wanted to make a comparison of games that had been made for the system compared to what wii was offered.

 

True that SE made a lot of bad decisions this gen but i still stand by what i said before that not supporting the market leader was one of their worst decisions on par with promoting the xbox360 in japan like there's no tomorrow.



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.
