What do the 23m and 7m figures refer to? Wii+wiiu and Ps3+ps4? If so, your numbers are clearly wrong.

3DS+WiiU and Vita+PS4. Also NX will probably be unified platform, that means same game that will be played on NX handheld and home console.

Ok, so looking at just this generation then (not this and the previous one as you stated). We don't even know how the NX would work so at the moment handheld sales are irrelevant, considering that a game like FFXV can't be done on a handheld. And neither wii nor wiiu got a mainline ff game.

I still think it'll probablly come to NX but not because of the reasons you listed.

FFVII:R seems multiplat, especially given the episodal nature of the game

The game won't be "episodical" in the way you seem to think of here, but rather a multi part game. Like the FFXIII series. Square didn't say episodical, only the translation did.
Square said that each game will be a full length game. That's not the case for episodical games if you're talking about the Telltale games type.

FF 13, 13-2 and 13-3 are individual games, not a multipart one. FF7 is originally one game, releasing it by parts make it episodical.

About FF, no surprises, the tittles never got announced as exclusive. About the second part, NX being more powerful than the ps4, it would need a special kind of stupidity to do a new console 3 or 4 years later and still be weaker than the old one.

Proudest Platinums - BF: Bad Company, Killzone 2 , Battlefield 3 and GTA4

This is my opinion, but I think FFVIIR coming to the NX was basically a lock as soon as we saw Cloud in Smash.

Square Enix is hugely important for the NX because they are one of the few 3rd party developers who is successful in the west and who is still providing strong support for Nintendo hardware (3DS). It will be a lot easier to get SE to take a chance on Nintendo's new console then it will be for Nintendo to win back a 3rd Party who got burned by the Wii U and are no longer developing anything for Nintendo.

You mean like Snake in Smash brawl?

Love how people like you mention completely different scenarios with no argumentation. This was discussed to hell and back already, snake's presence in brawl is way different than cloud's.

I looking both generation, but I currently don't have numbers for previous gen, but definitely Wii + DS sold much more than PS3 + PSP.

I don't agree that game like FFXV cant be done on handheld.

Impossibe and terrible concept, never gonna happen (thankfully).

It's not terrible considering Nintendo has a bigger handheld audience than home console audience and they need to bring as many games to their platforms (unified library). It's not impossible because mobile tech is improving fast and we could see a powerful handheld that plays home console games at a smaller resolution and/or lower quality textures or lightning.

It's impossible because not everything can be downported to the handheld and some would be very hard to do. It's terrible because exclusives are necessary.

They are exclusive to Nintendo. And even if some of the bigger projects have to be left for home console due to power limitations, that leaves us with a handheld that could play most of the NX games. Probably 3rd parties would also take the time to make their games work on the handhelds: they know that's where most of the audience is going and will take advantage of the main NX feature (it can double as a handheld). This would be specially interesting for JRPGs or games with the japanese market in mind. Per example, if the NX handheld can play FF VII remake without major downsides, that is the version SE are going to push in Japan.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Ugh! I'm not saying that the wii+ds combo didn't sell more than the ps3+psp one. I'm saying that you said that you were looking at both generations, hence the misunderstanding created.

As for the last sentence, you may feel that way, but if you could provide some examples on which you're basing that view, that'd be great.

I like that guy.  Just says his stuff and doesn't try to manufacture some stupid wacky personality for clicks.  As for the rumor, I think it's true.  Hell, I thought that KH3, FFXV and FFVII:R (when Sony's timed exclusivity deal runs out) were all going to come to the NX once Square Enix accidently dropped that news about Dragon Quest XI coming to the NX.  I'd be more surprised if they aren't ported at this point.

 

DQ11 means very little in this case. It's a mainline DQ and the DQ brand is largely Nintendo focussed. Of course DQ11 would come to NX.

It wasn't because it was Dragon Quest XI; it was because they were talking about the PS4 version (I assume) running on Unreal Engine 4.  If they're willing to port that over to the NX, then it isn't outside the realm of possibility that FFVII:R and KH3 ports will come as well since they both run on Unreal Engine 4 (and FFXV since porting Dragon Queset 11 may show that the NX has the power to handle it).  Add to that, the fact that FFXV, KH3 and FFVII:R will (or probably will be) ported over to the xbox one and PC anyway; so if they're already going to do that, then why not to the NX as well?
