Exclusive to PS4?

That's quite funny, actually. I don't know why SE would even try to do that. (Either way, I don't find this credible. Just because of that. Also for the fact that I don't believe people when they just "Shadow Predict" something. There is no absolute fact, at all, in that post.)

If they make $20 per game (statistic taken from my ass, admittedly) they need to sell 6m to break even.

At this point I think it's more about trying to recoup most losses rather than actually making a profit off it.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

a better question is does it need to profit? sure it cant flop too hard but a minor loss isnt going to hurt them too much if it gives them a good image for future games and a base to work on other games. theyre still profiting from FF11 for god sake and if FF14 does even half as good as that im sure they would have easily recovered any losses from 1 game. hell DQX is out and although its not doing amazingly they have a good steady income coming from those sub fees. then we have FFX and KH HD which would cost a lot less than making a new game and are just easy money for them.


That's an interesting concept I doubt Square is taking into consideration.

I don't know how "good" it is. DQX's underperformance was blamed for them being in the red. It didn't sell too many copies, and possibly a lot of people aren't subscribing and just play their two free hours a day.

It was never a PS4 exclusive, though.

It may be even easier and less expensive to make it for PS4. Maybe instead of expending a lot in CGs they can create cut-scenes in game due to the power of the PS4. Of course, if making CGs is more expensive than creating in-game stuff that is.

putting it on PS4 just mkes so much sence, Final Fantasy X benefited so much from launching early into a console cycle, infact most games do.

The budget already seems to be quite large. (Accroding to this guy.)

Did SE publish their other budgets for games such as FFXIII and FFXIII-2?

Well, I am not necessarily talking by parting from what this guy assures. I looked for FFXIII budget in Wiki but I didn't find anything in the "development" section.
