Square enix has disgustingly high expectations for their sales then blames their games that actually do sell for not totally covering for games that didn’t

lol, you SE shills have insane copium. SE routinely puts out their financial reports and if their HD games actually were selling well this would be reflected in the fiscal release year the games released in, not to mention residual years for continued sales. It isn’t. They aren’t selling well. They’re dropping dozens of millions if not over 100 million USD on the budget and not even selling 8 million units after several years. They get a few million sales within the year and then sales drop and never pick up again. Video game companies LOVE to toot their own horn, but this is surprisingly (to you) absent for the FF7 remake games and FF16.

Any other AA action game from an established studio/IP is selling 10+ million units within the first quarter. And adding on another 10 million or more in the intervening years. THAT is selling well. God of War, Zero Dawn, even TLOU2. CoD.

Correction, any other indie studio putting out their very first video game would love SE’s numbers for their 16th entry in their primary series.
