FFXVI only PS5?

[Raven2014]

And this one deserve its own reply

... , lost millions of dollars because of it, had its DLC cancelled, and the director literally quit the company.

Do people unironically still think 15 is viewed as a success lol?

This is why you talk with fact, not feel. I had a feeling you're talking solely on the latter, hence why I asked you to throw number at me which as expected, you side stepped again with whataboutism.

So here, I do the work for you:

FFXV made back all the development cost on day 1

What was "disappointing" about it is it wasn't as big as SE had hoped for given its long development time, but Japanese companies tend to have that issue. Decade ago I remember seeing Bamco's CEO said games has to be sold at least 1mil copies to be considered "success". And most people was like "is this guy on crack? The kind of game he publisher would be lucky to break 500,000 copies".

I have seen "people" talking a lot about how FFXV lose SE's money, but just like you, anytime they are contested and asked for citation they always side step the issue with whataboutism. The only failure of FFXV is the fact it wasn't as big as SE hoped for. But it's one of the best selling main series (10mil+ copies) and also one of the best selling game on the playstation platform.


FFVII-remade had also reached half of that mile stone before it went multi-platform, and THAT one you can blame on the PS5 early shortage. But sure, it's a disappointment. You know why? Because people are like "given how popular the original FF7 is it should have sale 15mil copies"!
