Indeed. Switch the x1 and pc numbers



It's possible...but most FF games DON'T sell that much. I think the only reason the game costs so much, is because of its obscenely long development. I mean, we have to be over 10 years now on this thing.



not gonna happen for a Japanese AAA game with the Gaming community how it is now , see SF5. The same people who nip pick and bitch about everything in Final Fantasy are the same people who go out buy a game like Devision which is Online Only and has a Helicopter as the End Boss.

Not exactly the best example. It's in a less popular genre than FFXV and based on what I've heard about it there was so little content there it didn't really deserve to sell well anyway.

The best fighting game with the best graphics this gen deservers to flop?

I thought Square-Enix had learned the lesson after the "failures" that had years ago with Tomb Raider Reboot, Sleeping Dogs and Hitman: Absolution... I was obviously wrong.

Still, one thing is making the money back, and another thing is being profitable. We don't know how much money S-E wants to get with the game.

At least this guarantees the besides the PS4, X1 and PC versions, NX will also have a late port.

Well, this is technically their biggest game in a very long time, so expecting 10m sales is not unreasonable. But yeah, how on Earth did they spend so much money that they need to sell 10m copies just to make even?

The paid for voice actors: GoT and BB actors, the movie, the anime, the advertisements and of course the R&D sound pretty damn expensive imo.  They better hope and pray the reviews are awesome for this game..and even then.  I'm betting 90% of the sales go to the PS4 if Type 0 is any indication for ratio from Ps4 to X1.



Lube Me Up

PS4+XBOX+LATE PC PORT = very possible.

And maybe NX too.

Personally I think he's high balling it.  5m copies with a $30 cut for SE = $150M revenue for them.  You'd imagine 7/8m would be enough to make a tidy profit.  

 

FF16 will be developed much more efficiently you'd imagine aswell as FF7R.

I wouldn't say it's the best game or has the best graphics and does indeed deserve to flop...

But hey, maybe that's just because I'm biased towards Tekken

Not same category its a 3D fighting game



Definitely possible especially if it gets ported to the 9th gen or 8.5 (whichever floats your boat :p )
