Is that what yall are gonna say when it happens to xbox?

whose "Yall"? Ive been a SEGA kid since the 90s and still am. Sony & Xbox damn near in the same position, getting pimped out by SEGA whose double dippin in yall's playerbase with games like Yakuza and Persona

Forspoken and FF16 would have had to sell at least 40 million at full retail price to make up 2 billon (Sony/Nintendo/MS get 30% of the revenue of the sale for their royalty percentage).

Are yall retarded?

fukk outta here unc @Rekkapryde you know damn well their expectations wasnt that high. The game hasnt broke 4 million at all its stagnant. In regards to forspoken shyt was ass and one of the worse looking games this gen. Sony users dont buy exclusives and Enix has to realize that.

Yes because im sure Sega is happy to put their games on xbox streaming service instead of being a dominant console manufacturer still

Sonic was supposed to be on the same level as mario, and now they gotta put sonic in mario games to get action

Less overhead cost on Console manufacturing + R&D = More money in SEGA's pockets. Plus Sony, Nintendo, PC & Xbox fanboys stan the fukk out of Persona/Yakuza/Sonic/etc

Simple math sir.

you know how many copies you gotta sell to make up 2 billion in revenue.

Are yall boneheaded?

GTA5 has "only" done 8.3 billion in revenue since it got released a decade ago selling over 100 million copies.

Yall PRESSED '

edit: we went back a month for these tweets?

Eldenring sold over 20 million. You're saying two games couldn't come close to that?

Are you admitting the game just wasn't that good?

Company drops their biggest game in years and for years to come, immediately loses 30% of their value.

Sony stan’s

It’s crazy how y’all just rush to defend anything associated with Playstation. Square is a 3rd party company. I know for a FACT none of you would be defending them if they didn’t cut xbox out a few games.

But don’t worry, they are putting their games on xbox now so you can lay down your arms and admit they got a lot of work to do if they wanna continue to exist as a video games publisher

You never did learn how to read

Square was living off the hope of FF7 Remake for years. Now that that game is out people not excited for their shyt like that no more. They peaked. The brand is cooked.

 

[levitate]

shytty games and mismanagement cost them money.

 

[daze23]

Ain't got nothing to do with the exclusivity, it's all about their poor leadership and business decisions.

exclusivity is a business decision

Square Enix may be pleased with Final Fantasy 16‘s initial sales, but the PS5 exclusive couldn’t prevent the company from losing billions. A new report reveals that Square Enix has lost nearly $2 billion of its value since Final Fantasy 16’s release.

Bloomberg reports that analysts are concerned about Square Enix’s historical reliance on its Final Fantasy franchise to make up for a series of lackluster releases. This is partly why despite selling millions at launch, Final Fantasy 16 sales weren’t the saving grace that the company was hoping for. Square Enix previously said that the PS5 exclusive’s sales didn’t meet the “high end” of its expectations.

Square Enix loses $2 billion as investors worry over 'the company’s future'

Things are not looking good at Square Enix, as Final Fantasy 16 disappoints and they become an increasingly easier target for acquisition.

Shii sound like cap tho(blaming Sony for the loss I mean) they’ve had snes releases but they’ve traditionally well on Sony

The past couple releases outside 7 path been mid lowkey and I’m a fan. 15 had potential but that shyt was rushed. Cutting 16 on this weekend if I get a chance
