Sure. I believe you. If it came to Xbox day one then. You'd be sucking this games balls.
Xbox gamers don't buy games. That's why they didn't bother.

All your arguments are based on the belief that the game universally sucks, which is not really the case. Plenty of games considered good have exclusivity deals attached to them.
Edit: Freaking Rockstar doesn't release their games on all platforms and ports them over a year later, it's not an indication of quality or potential sales.

It's amazing that everyone shitting on this game in this thread are also Xbox evangelicals. What a coincidence!

Probably as much as with Yakuza games, in which I never had any interest to begin with.
Be content with your mediocre exclusive, but don't expect others to want to play it.
This late release, if it happens, will totally flop on Xbox. But this isn't because of Xbox players, and we all know it.
Still we can probably exchange turds. We will give you Hellblade or Starfield and you will give us FF XVI. Nobody wins !

What's your explanation for games that release day one on the platform and still flop in terms of sales then?
OmegaSupreme
advanced basic bitch
It'll absolutely be the fault of Xbox players. Just like every other ff game flopping on their hardware. The game is objectively good. Your opinion is yours and a literal handful of others. 87 on meta and an 8.1 user score. Not a classic by any means but great.

I already beat this game. Played it a couple months ago. I would buy it if it was on a significant sale since I have every other FF game on Xbox. They waited too long for me to buy this full price. Its been $30 on PS for a while.
If they bring Star Ocean I'll get that day 1. Or pixel remaster. I'd probably even get VIIR-2 if it had 1 for free, despite not really liking VII

I'll play it again on PC. For those extra frames and (hopefully) ultrawide support.

You making assumptions of failure is different than the publishers confirming themselves that the sales are unsatisfactory.

Under 2 million.
Why are you ignoring the context of the sales vs the numbers it's done on the other platforms and the respective hardware sales splits?
The ratios for monster hunter have it at 4.8:1 for Playstation against xbox sales for the base game. It's even worse for the expansion at 10.1:1.
The sales numbers are not representative of the difference in platform hardware sales, or did i miss something where the PS4 suddenly outsold the Xbox One by 5:1 (or even 10:1)?
Especially when those same publishers announce and release every subsequent game in the series..... There is no better proof than that.
When you see people discuss the appropriateness of Japanese Studios and publishers releasing their games on XBOX it has more to do with their discomfort with it being released on the specific X platform and not so much with his "concern" with the potential profitability of the port, which only the editor himself knows about, and I don't think they are stupid now when in the X360 and XBO generations they had no problem deciding not to release those games on XBOX.

Main AAA series like Okami and Ace Attorney had less sales on Xbox. And an actual AAA franchise, Monster Hunter, only sold like 2,000,000! What a disaster.

I don't even see why they'd bother, it'd sell like 5 units lol.
That said FF16 was one of my favourite FF games, and I've played most of them apart from 13 and the online ones.

The worst ratio’d game on that list is Ace Attorney and its sales were so unsatisfactory that… a new Ace collection is coming to Xbox in a few weeks. It’s almost as if even though these games sell less on Xbox than other platforms, they apparently are still making enough for publishers to deem it worthwhile. Despite what the GAF keyboard analysts think after reading UK boxed sales charts.

When you see some of the absolute no name small indie stuff that makes it to the Xbox Store every day, the idea that SQEX can't even port their biggest and most mainstream series over is pretty absurd. If they really can't be bothered, it's their loss. No one owes them a purchase.
But anyway, if people want to get the game, by all means go for it. I gave it a 7.5. It's certainly a very nice looking game, but has some major flaws as well. I've played far worse than XVI. The annoying thing (as usual) is just the arrogance of PS fans demanding Xbox fans buy this game like SQEX is owed our money.
Metaphor is coming out day 1. Kingdom Come 2 is coming out day 1. Stalker 2. The list goes on and on. SQEX has to compete like anyone else, and they're doing a poor job of it. I already bought Dragon Quest 3 HD, because that's up day 1 and it looks good.

Capcom are skipping Xbox with multiple upcoming releases, actions speak louder than words.
It's not just Capcom either (from 9 minutes onwards) :
If you're too lazy to skip:
I don't understand how you can't see the irony of all this here. On one hand you've got yourself and a few others in this thread bragging about not buying (or not wanting to buy) games, including the one this very topic is about. But yet at the same time, on the other hand you're all in a deep state of denial when it comes to the state of game sales on the platform (especially when viewed in comparison to the sales on other platforms where those same games are available).
If you don't want the situation to continue to unfold as it has been the you have the power to change it.

It’s a weird mentality. For example there’s a large thread right now on page one about a big Xbox game coming to PS5 and most are speculating Starfield. Will you see a swarm of Xbox users demanding PS5 users buy whatever game it ends up being? No, who gives a shit.

I am already using the "power" I have to buy games I like when publishers are not thinking of me as a second choice to try to mitigate their poor business decisions.
As a lot of Xbox players, enough it seems for Capcom to keep releasing games on the platform, I have been buying their major games such as Resident Evil 2 and 3 for example.
They are skipping some minor games. I don't see any confirmation from Capcom that they are unsatisfied with sales of their bigger games here.

No, originally FFVII Remake was only Playstation exclusive for one year, and everyone's expectation was that it would be coming to Xbox after that. Something obviously changed though, presumably Sony moneyhatting.

Cutting your nose off to spite your face. Being petty about all of this won't be of any benefit to you.
The sales splits are there for everyone to see, including for the bigger games.
And this whole "bigger" vs "smaller" games thing isn't the boon you think it is. If only the bigger games have a chance in hell of selling at all on the Xbox platform then that's pretty damning in itself. What do you think that says about the userbase and their buying habits? And what signal do you think that sends to publishers?

Only FF8 was exclusive that gen.
It is the ignorance about Xbox catalogue for some here.
The reality is that NEVER, in any previous generation of XBOX were so many games and of all origins released on an XBOX console. Before the news was that great series and IPs like Yakuza, Monster Hunter, Persona, Dragon Quest etc, etc... were not released on Xbox. Now the controversy is whether collections of retro games and minor indi games are not launched.
As you say, you just have to go to the thread of updated Japanese or Asian game releases on Xbox in Era and your head will explode seeing complete super-niche series coming to Xbox for the first time. And here they tell you that this happens out of simple charity and not because there could be the publisher's belief that the ports could have the possibility of being profitable.

As someone that only joined in on FF when they turned to action combat, I like FF16 more than the 7 remakes. But both are great.
Still gotta get around to buying the FF16 DLC. Is it all out yet?

They wouldn’t know a good game even if Phil finally decided to release one

Booooring. I would much, much rather than FFVII Remake & Rebirth ports. Don't care about 16 at all. Those would be insta-buys for me. I'm not buying a PS5 just to play FFVII remakes.

I bought FF XVI day 1 on PS5, I don’t own an Xbox, and I thought the game sucks horribly. Lots of us were sorely disappointed with it. I’d consider it maybe my biggest gaming disappointment tied with Spore.
Have a look at the OT for yourself, reactions were all over the place and many of us liked the game less and less as we got further into it.

Yes, we are all exactly the same and think exactly like one another without any difference of opinion. Because that's how things work.

When did you decide to shit out this straw man argument?
If you’re not the evangelists immediately writing this off because it didn’t release day 1 on your platform, no need to make the false claim that I’m staying this position for everyone that owns an Xbox
