They knew it was on PS5 alone 🤷♂️ What they are saying is a bit muddled at this point due to fanboy interpretations. Though surely they made a loss but are not directly blaming FF16. It could've sold better though cause it's biggest game they will release this generation. 6 minutes ago, AnK said: I hope for the mental sanity of Xbots,Square releases till date sales of FF16 soon enough Or else poor guys will be stuck at first 3 days sales of 3.3m & autocratically keep believing that it just dropped to 0 after those 3 f**ckin days Latest Famitsu charts in Japan.

In anycase,having a belief that it sold 3.3m in 3 days & then suddenly stood still for the next 45 days is a far fetched longing even by your “passionate” standards.

I don't want it to fail It should sell well. If it bounced back that's great. I do want them to make next one more involving, proper action game or proper RPG.

As long as these movies/shows keep funding the next game in the franchise then who cares. Sony should have made GoW & MGS long ago too. Most of the game adaptations are crap.

AnK Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 (edited) If endless freebies & the cheapest home console in history(with inflation adjusted) couldn’t help this brand then I doubt anything apart from success of exclusive games will. Maybe Xbox neXt to neXt when ElderScrolls,Fallout,Doom & COD all will be exclusives. If it’s still a thing & hasn’t been taken over by streaming.

AnK Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 (edited) Just can’t compete with the big players in terms of cloud infrastructure & content consolidation. Should throw in the towel after streaming picks up & become third party. Wonder what happened to the cloud infrastructure MOU signed between Sony & M$ a few years ago. With Starfield already being promoted as “No console required” & Latest PS5 games available in 4k streaming,I don’t think consoles will Last longer than 10-15 more years. PS6 might be the last big console. Edited August 10 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been years since streaming has been available and there hasn't been any measurable increase in adoption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t seamless even in first word infrastructure let alone 2nd & 3rd. Next 10-15 years infrastructure would make it seamless 1:1 for sure & that would be the end of consoles. Last few years it has been in “buffering” stage as Movies & Shows were before completely eliminating physical media & cable/satellite. 10-15 years is a long long time.

This plus the impending releases of FF 7Rebirth along with Silent Hill 2 remake make 2023-2025 a very lucrative prospect for PS5 exclusives. Plus who knows how many on the Fly PS5 exclusives like Baldur’s Gate 3,Fort Solis & Quantum Error are going to show up just because of Series S I bet even Quantum Error is going to be a comparable game to Stalker 2 which is being projected like some sort of Metro Sequel without nothing in previews right now.
