Forums - Sales - Square-enix We need 2-3 million sellers ... NOW

Well I did my part with the Wolrd End with you:

Up to now, you could plant the seeds for a new series and establish a firm foothold for yourself by selling 200,000 to 800,000 copies," he said. "2008 was a little different. As a result, we need to start aiming for games that can immediately sell two or three million copies -- not just in Japan, but worldwide. For better or worse, the game marketplace has become one of very high stakes."

what the worry i thought microsoft payed you 500 billion for the exclusives?



well if they want instant sellers release some damn new games and not rehashes on DS.


A real FF game on Wii would instantly sell that.



 

 

Eh, that's what they get for stabbing Sony in the back like that, right?



no, for not embracing the Wii faster

They should stop making mediocre games and start making AAA ones.



I hope 1.7-1.8 million gamers in the West plan on buying SO4 because S-E seem to want the game to sell 2 million copies atleast and 300K will be the most it will sell in Japan.



hmm something tells me square enix should of never made so many 360 exclusives hoepfully we shoould see strong sales for the ps3 version of last remnant and this might suggest a port for star ocean 4 as well



and wont games like dragon quest 9 and final fantasy 13 correct this issue this year surely these 2 new iterations of massive franchises should do 5 million at least between them



No wonder they had to make FFXIII go multi.
