Is it time for yoshi to step down from ff14?

Prove that statement. Please. Use real numbers.

A game that cost 1 billion yen to make, and has 2 billion yen in sales, while another game with a similar cost had 12 billion yen in sales, is not a "flop", except to the hype machine. A game that cost 1 billion yen to make and has 800 million yen in sales is a "flop".

Any game introduced at the same time as the FF7 remake, or the next Nier game, is not a flop if it makes money.

I really get tired of people believing that FFXIV is the only money-making game that Square Enix produces. It is, by far, the most recognizable of the games produced, but it is not solely responsible for the company's profits.

The Digital Entertainment sector of Square Enix lists about 185 billion yen for net sales for FY2023/3 Q1 ‐ Q3 (reported on 3 February). The entire MMORPG section had just under 22% of that total in net sales.

I would think their mobile games are bringing in a pretty hefty chunk tbh.
