Square Enix needs to stop relying on PlayStation exclusivity.

They aren't losing much skipping Xbox. You are a testament to that. You champion Xbox yet you'll still buy Final Fantasy on one of the available platforms it comes to.Long term, growing your brand and name as well as potential sales>>>>> straight up cutting out a scene because it doesn't net you profit in the beginning. Especially when you have the resources to do it.
Resident evil is releasing on the iPhone...
Capcom is showing these 3rd party companies how to do it.
People who want SE games get them where they're available.
The other thing about it is that the Xbox platform is becoming gamepass or bust. You announce something is coming to Xbox no one is buying the game because it’ll be on gamepass.

blathering blatherskite!
Thats a lie.
naw first one sold 10 mill total.If xbox sold 25-30% then it sold 2.5 to 3 mill same as 16 on PS5.
Y’all said how much of a success 3 Mill on PS5 alone was.
Seems 15 was fairly successful on xbox

Yes, the same guy this topic is based on, former square enix exec implied so in the very tweets in the OP.
He doesn’t say how many copies it sold.
He says sqaure hoeing themselves out to sony is a bad business proposition and puts them as a disadvantage.
You agree with him???

He says that it wouldn’t sell shyt on xbox and he’s assuming xbox having a marketing deal would simply be beneficial in pushing more sales on playstation, which is false lol
Yall don’t even be reading the shyt you’re arguing about you just run on pure salt like Popeyes chicken
No, you made that up.
You wanna try to take a portion of his statement then discard the rest to fit your agenda.
EVERYONE including square now acknowledges exclusive deals have not helped them.
Only ones in your own reality is sony stan’s
First of all one game has been out for 7 years. The other hasn't even been out 6 months. Second you making assumptions and talking about if it sold. Well if the amount it sold on Xbox was so high why would Square Enix be so eager to give such value sales up time and time again? You clearly don't see them do that the other way.naw first one sold 10 mill total.If xbox sold 25-30% then it sold 2.5 to 3 mill same as 16 on PS5.

nah. Jacob argues that having more platforms promoting the game would benefit the overall sales. dude he's replying to wants to make a direct comparison to the number of potential Xbox sales vs the money they would have got from Sony. but Jacob reiterates that that's not what he's saying
he's not saying it wouldn't sell on Xbox, just that it's a separate argument from what he was saying

What are you talking about he specifically says this
Basically that if Microsoft get a marketing deal that it is still very likely (and true) that it will still mostly direct sales to Playstation. Its implied the games audience is on one platform (playstation), and he’s suggesting square enix foot Microsoft with the bill like Sega is doing.
All those big marketing deals Microsoft is getting for Sega games isn’t increasing sales on playstation, its just running microsofts pockets, which is what he’s suggesting square enix do. The games still sell like shyt on xbox
