Wonder how much square asked for the port? 10 million? 100? 1 billion?
Of course it is. Have the fanboys not figured this out yet? Sales are worth more than fanboy wars.

As both Xbox and ps5 are closer than ever to a PC, it makes them similar. Porting games between consoles is no longer a monumental task.
Baldurs gate 3 says otherwise. Game is still a mess on xbox.

SquareEnix have basically carried the PS5 with 5 games. I hope Sony is fully aware of this

MS should buy Square Enix. :ROFLMAO:

Why? it's a dumpster fire other than FF14 they got nothing but Dragon Quest selling good in Japan and that's it, they barely got FF7r off the ground to sell good enough for the 2nd part to be delivered on one platform AGAIN, heck PS5 user base is a lot smaller than PS4s when FF7r came out, meanwhile Capcom got their games on every platform and enjoy amazing net profits every year, Heck Konami is even bigger than SE and they barely released anything since MGS5

Sony is the one funding/marketing these games...so they're definitely aware of it. Square has made more Nintendo exclusives in that same time frame, should Nintendo consider buying Square?

Corny covert portbegging, Xbox is irrelevant, PC don't buy day 1 enough to justify day 1 ports, they'll only buy it on a discount anyway so they can wait.

PC players do buy day 1. Just needs to be good and have mass appeal. See cyberpunk, BG3, Witcher 3, Fallout, elder scrolls etc.

FFVII Remake alone is better than anything MS ever released and likely ever will release.

It was a joke anyway, the Xbox doesn't have an audience for any of these games (or pretty much any game at this point).

Xbox is dead and let's all hope that it's stays dead.

Witcher 3 did not sell that well day 1, it didn't start to pick up sales until it went on sale.... BG3 and CP2077 are the only cases, and BG3 was PC early access for years which inflated sales. Skyrim and Fallout are probably the same, those games all drop to $5.

Where it’s at.

And it has to be cheap on some key reseller site exploiting regional discounts and/or stolen credit cards.

We all know how cheap PC gamers are when it comes to games, so don’t pretend.

BG3 sold 2 million in early access. It sold at least 10 million after EA just on Steam.The number is probably much higher. Elden Ring, Hogwarts legacy, GTA 5 etc. Plenty of strong day 1 sales for games on PC. Saying PC gamers don't buy enough on day 1 is silly. Just depends on the IP

Consoles sales dry out fast, PC keeps those games alive like GTAV and Witcher3

There's zero actual evidence to support that
Would you consider Larian CEO Swen Vincke a credible source?

The ambitious scope of Baldur’s Gate 3 was made possible by another unusual move. In October 2020, Larian put the game into early-access mode, allowing players to buy and play through an unfinished version of its first act. More than 2.5 million people went on to purchase the game, which allowed it to stay financially viable even as the scope expanded and the development dragged on. Whereas most big-budget video games shy away from such moves because it can set a bad first expectation and muddle the final release, the decision worked for Baldur’s Gate 3, Vincke said, by letting players experiment with the game’s characters and systems without spoiling the entire story.

actually sold 2.5 in early access. Every estimate of BG3 copies sold on steam or PC alone is 10 million. But PC gamers do buy games day 1. Just concede. It was a dumb take.

None of this shows 10m sales just on Steam.....PC kids have selective hearing (reading).

Where is evidence of 10m sales just on Steam?

BG3 and CP2077 are the only cases, and BG3 was PC early access for years which inflated sales
And I already pointed out that being in early access for years inflated sales, 2.5m after 3 years of early access is not impressive......
