how delusional are they?
Maybe they'll look into cutting down their release cycler and/or not completely throwing out multiple builds of the game.
Or maybe not trying to make the game play itself would give a bigger draw than targeting people who just want an interactive movie.
Believe in Square-san, XV-kun, and Anti XV-kun.
Wow XII sold good. I thought everyone hated it.
>I thought everyone hated it.
Only you and the stupid """""""""""le videogames reviewers"""""""" you've read, like your favorite Shittaku.
FF12 was a bomb
They've been like this since the merger. They always post insane expectations that are never met
Do they genuinely need that many sales to make a profit? I mean, I don't know how much they've pissed away on XV over the years, but are the production values on their average title really that insane?

have you tried to use your brain, user
Sales says otherwise.
...have you? That's why explicitly singled out XV as maybe needing that many sales. But what about things like Tomb Raider where they posted similar expectations?
WoW's latest Legion expansion had a development budget of 15 million.
They're saying the next FFXIV expansion will have a 35 million budget. Now this is clearly a lie, and they've cooked the books to avoid investor panic when XV fails miserably; the differential is 20 million dollars between the two, and SE has criminally underfunded XIV's development since the reboot so there's at least 25 million bucks to recoup. If you look at the miserable list of tie-in boondoggles mentioned the whole thing is clearly one giant money pit.
>Sales says otherwise.
No they don't? If you think you can just drop a line "sales says otherwise" with your smug face it will have some meaning or weight behind it?
It will not. This is the only (You) you will get until you make a post with arguments.

Holyshit they still around? Lel!
They suck, fàm, also, that's not counting digital or PSN sales.
>But what about things like Tomb Raider where they posted similar expectations?
???
Source?
Why don't you provide better source.
Oh right, there isn't one.

>the publisher hoped to sell between 5 and 6 million copies of Tomb Raider in its first month, which would have placed it amongst some of the fastest-selling games ever.
Uh, did PAL regions just not get some titles? XII has nothing sold there.
>IGN
If your goal was to make me take you seriously you are not just failed spectacularly but achieved exactly the opposite result.
That being said, I'd like to remind you that you have to be 18 years old to post here
It doesn't even include the Zodiac edition. All together, FF8,7 and 10 have broken the 10 mil mark via downloads/reissues. Not bad for a trio of games that started on a single console and PC.
The difference is that this is the word of publisher itself. It is an official public statement they made.
Compare it to the game director fucking up saying what never was supposed to be public - internal sales expectations.
Keep in mind, the numbers they want don't necessarily mean the numbers they NEED to make a profit. Even though TR didn't hit sales numbers they wanted, it generated enough to warrant a god damn sequel.
>instead of these fauly numbers that haven't been updated in years why don't you..
Burden of proof is on Op, not me. Why not start with official SE sales reports?

>During its May fiscal report, Square Enix revealed that it had sold 4 million copies of Tomb Raider. That made it one of the best-selling games in the franchise’s history, and it was outpacing all of its predecessors. Yet the Japanese publisher was still disappointed in its performance.

Here is your (You). Bye.

Muh sides autismo!

Sure you're not the one under 18, OP?
Vgdbchartz?
>Crisis Core sold more than tactics
Why did you let this happen?
I told you - no more You's until you back up your statement.
Meanwhile watcg dogs easily sold like 10m, the division even more
