Jez Corden: Final Fantasy VII Remake is coming to Xbox Consoles (nothing is confirmed, but discussions are happening) )

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

Early Access is the greatest proof ever that PC gamers are total idiots. It is the biggest scam going. "This game isn't finished yet, and may never be, but give us your money anyway!" Either that or "This game is already finished, and we won't be making any changes or fixes, but we know some people have such bad FOMO that we can exploit it by saying this is Early Access".

Honestly, Larain can fuck off with Early Access for BG III. They could have released the game 3 years ago and just put out expansions, but that wouldn't get them as much attention, so they called it Early Access and acted like they were some kind of martyrs for continuing to work on the game while just putting out add-ons.

Early access allowed the success BG3 had. Such a horrible take.

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.

Not fallout 4 and i am sure neither skyrin since all the ports.

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


Where is evidence of 10m sales just on Steam?


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......

The main point is that PC gamers buy games day 1. BG3 sold amazing on PC. Just concede.

Lol so you couldn't provide evidence of your claim that BG3 sold 10m on PC....and you want me to concede? Why make those kinds of goofy claims if you can't back them up?

You guys saying 2.5m sales in 3 years is amazing shows how low the bar is for PC..... Almost every AAA Sony game does that in the first day or 2. The AAA market on PC is niche, it's a platform for live service junk like League of Legends and Valorant, hentai games, and MMOs

Estimates put it around that range. Theirs no official numbers. You said PC gamers don't buy day 1. When their is plenty of evidence that says otherwise. Why do you think capcom is all in on PC? Just concede. 2.5 million in 3 years is just early access... When the game finally released it sold gangbusters on PC. Tighten up.

The Belgian embassy reported 5.2 million in august. That total included the 3.5M EA, putting first week sales around 2M.

Wizards of the Coast reported 40% revenue growth, 63M in licensing alone¹, attributed "particularly the blockbuster August release of Baldur's Gate III".

Recent Videogame Insights Report estimates Baldurs Gate 3 is the best selling game on Steam in units, and made 657M in revenue.

Baldurs Gate is listed first among Steam's top revenue makers for 2023:

[Systemshock2023]

Is it confirmed that it will be a trilogy or that is just because the PS1 game had 3 discs?

It's a trilogy, rebirth comes with 2 discs anyway

 

[Johnic]

More than likely happening.

Lol so you concede there are no official numbers and that you just made it up, thank you

You said PC gamers don't buy day 1. When their is plenty of evidence that says otherwise.

There really isn't.

Why do you think capcom is all in on PC? Just concede

All in on PC...while retroactively putting DRM on their PC games Capcom games on PC sell worse than Xbox....until they go on deep discount, which proves my point . You've already conceded so there's no need for me to, plus I'm right .

I don't see 10m anywhere here.... and that VGI crap has already been debunked. Earlier you said Early Access sales was 2.5m, now its 3.5m? Flop regardless after 3 year.

After some google this list is not accurate. VG Insights show RE4 Remake make 37% more than Sons of the Forest but according to data released by Steam, Sons of The Forest revenue is higher than RE4 Remake. That is huge margin of error.

I think people here are in denial. Phil was cozy with SE on stage and even their CEO just recently said he's looking into bringing more titles to Xbox.

Sony just needs to spot fucking around with partnerships and focus on established ones, rather than some nobody GaaS studios.

 

[Dabaus]

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

I know youre a troll looking for attention, probably sleepybrown's ALT, but ill indulge you just this once. Capcom's games do well on Playstation, PC, and to a lesser extent the switch. Xbox has NOTHING to do with it.

Always the same 5 examples BG3, Cyberpunk etc are the exception.

Ask Ubisoft, EA, Activision, Square or Capcom where they are making most of their revenue. The industry would go bankrupt if they had to depend on PC. BG3 selling good 3 years after early access doesn't prove the market on PC is super healthy and successful.

 

[On Demand]

See you in 2035? lol.

By the way he’s backpedaling. He originally said 2024 into 2025. Now he wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not on Xbox until the all games are on PS5?

These “insiders” are a joke.

 

[Hezekiah]

Yeah it wil come after the trilogy is already released on PS5. When it's old, far less relevant and most fans have moved on.

How does Xbox getting an old port for a game that's timed period ran out years ago mean that Square doesn't have a relationship with PlayStation anymore?

Yes, i'm really curious WTF he is blabbing about??

 

[Hezekiah]

I'm a PC gamer, but I think it's fair to say PC gamers love a sale. And many prioritise spending on hardware over software in comparison to the console world.

 

[Johnic]

Same thing that happened with Sega. It's not going to happen over night. Remember when Persona was exclusive? Remember how it's now day one on GP and even gets better versions and earlier on Xbox? Remember how Phil was openly and publicly discussing things with Square Enix CEO and remember how none of Sony's executives was there?

Sony's not gonna lose access to FF but it might end in the same situation as Persona or Yakuza.

This sort of denial is something you'd get on an xbox reddit. This isn't just blabbing, it's a discernible pattern with Sony's Japanese partnerships.
