Release on Xbox I get, but how does releasing on gamepass help them?Square-Enix should release Star Ocean 2 remake, Final Fantasy 16, and Final Fantasy 7 remake 2 on Xbox and Gamepass to double their sales if not triple their engagement—such a waste of opportunity cost.
One could say that Square Enix shot themselves in the foot with this decision to pass on Xbox instead of Gamepassing their game on it as far as I am concerned since I'm an expert in this subject.
It's sarcasm.Release on Xbox I get, but how does releasing on gamepass help them?
He's just having a completely unprovoked console war meltdown for no reason. Don't worry about it.Release on Xbox I get, but how does releasing on gamepass help them?
phew, thanks lol. I was wondering if I woke up in the twilight zone again.It's sarcasm.
So what are FF16 current REAL numbers?

Na he has a point considering net sales were up and good but they had bad development cost amortisation which would have only got worse.He's just having a completely unprovoked console war meltdown for no reason. Don't worry about it.
I am not sure if FF remasters are not included in these numbers though. If FF16 had 5m, they would have told during the call.Likely in the range of 4-5mil.
FF franchise sales have increased by 5mil from 180mil to over 185mil from the previous quarter and the game sold 3mil week one but like most FF games is frontloaded. So 4-5mil is a safe bet.
They will be included in the numbers. It probably not at 5mil yet, but somewhere between 4-5mil. My guess is we get a sales update with the announcement of the PC release which may be at TGA. Hopefully a sneak peak of the 2 DLC's as well.I am not sure if FF remasters are not included in these numbers though. If FF16 had 5m, they would have told during the call.
Lol they couldn't double their sells before gamepass, it's dead now if they do.Square-Enix should release Star Ocean 2 remake, Final Fantasy 16, and Final Fantasy 7 remake 2 on Xbox and Gamepass to double their sales if not triple their engagement—such a waste of opportunity cost.

I bought it. Just need to clone myself so I have time to play it.Not surprised but guess Paranormasight didn't move the needle at all for any mention of it, great niche game if anyone wonders.
Nothing to help. It didn’t sell shit
I have the only steelbook of it that existed
Get 2. On my responsibilityAs seen in my local GameStop.

Hey, I'm sure alot of Xbox fans would love to engage with Tifa, if you know what I mean.Lol they couldn't double their sells before gamepass, it's dead now if they do.
Edit* You got me!
It went down in price so fast (way quicker than ubisoft games). I think I got the game 2 months after release for around €15 new.As seen in my local GameStop.
Whatever they are, they're awful, otherwise they'd be trumpeting it around to investors. Another console exclusive miss by SE. Maybe they'll start releasing games everywhere if they want to move units.So what are FF16 current REAL numbers?
FFXV remains one of my favorite games of the last 10 years. I just adore that game, warts and all. I'd buy the shit out of a Switch 2 port that looked & ran as well as on PS4 Pro.Net sales up, operating income down.
This will ALWAYS happen for a company that doesn't make modern games. And when I say modern, y'all know what I'm talking about.
Hmm. Also wondering where Forspoken is at.
I don't understand your question. Releasing a game on Game Pass means Xbox pays you millions of dollars without needing to sell individual copies. That's the transaction. I think with some agreements there's also recurring revenue built in as well, under certain agreements. You would also get a slice of any copy sold on your game through Xbox, since Game Pass subscribers get a discount for buying a game, which also benefits the publisher selling the game.Release on Xbox I get, but how does releasing on gamepass help them?
I can think of a handful of excellent games that would greatly benefit from a port to Xbox Series. Harvestella, Octopath II (already confirmed early 2024), and Bravely Default II. SE can make millions just launching them into Game Pass, and also sell individual copies via Xbox as well.Square probably won't get much revenue on Xbox from game sales, but there's probably good money to be made cutting deals with MS for some of the more popular games which are console exclusive to PS, like FF7R, FF16 etc... In terms of cutting deals for bringing these to the platform in the first place (GP or in general).
You need to cut your nails my dude.As seen in my local GameStop.
Ever Crisis is doing pretty solid in its past 2 months that the developers openly mentioned it and they announced a PC version in development. So, at the very least, it locked a few more years of service. It's not enough to offset the 5-6 other underperforming or end service titles, but it certainly has life.Single Player games are doig fine... not great but Fine.
Dawntrails will fix the MMO part of their earnings, also FFXIV on XBox could give it a boost too.
Mobile ? I don't think Ever Crisis is in a good enough Shape to be the avior they're looking for.
In general, Square is doing alright, nothing catastrophic here.

. I try to keep it simple and straight to the point, and as factual as possible.Do you really want this to be addressed?
Ah well, I guess there was bound to be one person who would have taken what he said seriously.
factual? even MS themselves and their partners alluded to gamepass canalizing sales. And then you expect a publisher to take their single biggest release of the year and put it on gamepass? how much do you think MS pays publishers for a game on gamepass? Say there are 5 million downloads, would MS pay them $250M?. I try to keep it simple and straight to the point, and as factual as possible.
So what are FF16 current REAL numbers?
Rekindle a Xenogears remake like you did for Star Ocean 2. Xenogears was already 2.5D.
