  • Sony needs to buy up JRPG companies now that Xbox is the king of WRPGs. JRPGs vs WRPG's let's go!

Dragonquest the biggest rpg series ever in japan.

I don’t think it’s really worth it at the end of the day. Even FF7 remake wasn’t a smash hit. I think the most profitable thing Square enix has right now is final fantasy 14.

Not worth buying a company who’s biggest games only do 5 mil max these days.
Where are you getting this information from?

DQXI, FFXV, and KH3 all did well over 5 million units....and that's just the Japanese arm of the company. And Pokemon is the biggest rpg in Japan.

square doesn’t own or develop most of those titles just publishes them.

Square owns crystal dynamics/eidos interactive. What you mean is they don’t develop them in their eastern division. They own tomb raider, deus ex, and hitman.

I don't think Bully made by someone other than Rockstar will hit the same

They bring along Houser and Benzies for this one game

Houser wanted to make a Bully 2, his own words he said it's the only franchise he was passionate about.

Take Two didn't care for it since it didn't meet target sales

I'd give the Bully IP to volition for ONE GAME, bring Houser as writer and Benzies to help. Just a one-time deal

more capital to make the games come out faster though
But the avenues for revenues will be limited

Revenue from producing titles for 4 platforms vs. 1 or 2, assuming Sony still allows them release titles on PC

Granted square probably gets most of its revenue nowadays from mobile phone games
