Yes they would. Metaphor shits all over Final Fantasy XVI and it was much cheaper to make. What a disaster by Yoshi-P.
Ironic since the new CEO stated he is abandoning mid tier titles (which all flopped) and their HD games are moving to AAA status. Pretty contradictory on what you are saying. Regarding FF16, sales were in line with their expectations on the Q&A with investors.

I also don't comprehend what Atlus has to do with Enix unless you are triggered by one being (timed) exclusive. Then the numbers are also not doing any favours.

Too bad Square isn't happy with that. Haven't heard SEGA complain about what Yakuza/Persona/Metaphor sold, have you?

Seems like skill issue by Square Enix.

Square would be satisfied with 1 million on launch on all platforms?? Let's not kid ourselves here, just shows the different standards and responses.
You can't read either.

Irony on speaking about skill issues. Goes totally against what you said and claimed.

No it doesn't. It's not my fault if a cheaper but still successful Square game doesn't exist.

It’s really something to see final fantasy fans get upset over every jrpg release. I guess that’s what happens when they’re fighting to see who sold the least.

Find it funny that my initial comment is actually on topic with Atlus's new team but all you had to say was FF failed & Detroit Steam CCU numbers.
Y'all look moronic.

If FF debuts at number 37 on PS5 after an extensive and exclusive promo period that goes on for over a year, it would be on the front page of every newspaper in the country. Era/Install base would shutdown.

Instead, it's complete silence. Nobody is talking about it besides us. They are too busy making another "let's shit on FF" thread (the Metaphor CCU is all about FF and they also made a separate Atlus vs FF thread, already at 10 pages in 1 day).

FEAR 3 on Xbox 360 sold more last week than Metaphor 💀

The Deluxe edition of Metaphor is on page 7 at number 555 💀💀💀

So because of Xbox marketing deals we are attempting to downplay the succsss of Metaphor’s launch? Xbox only sells gamepass; if that.

Exactly… I’m not really understanding the issue.
Who cares about how Xbox sells lol
Nobody ever expected the game to sell there… Sega was just happy with MS paying the marketing.

BTW Xbox is not even selling Gamepass anymore… it is stagnant for like 3-4 years… the last time it had a small boost was due MS forcing the Live conversion lol

Top paid also includes the money the games make from DLC or microtransactions if I remember correctly but I'm not looking at the site right now.
Face it Xbox will be max at 5% of all sales. Pzc maybe 10-15%. The overwhelming majority will be on PS buddy.

The sales of metaphor or atlus games in general are fine, good even but I find it absolutely ridiculous to use these sales to bring down final fantasy, Come on people what are we doing here? 1 million so called day 1 sales across 3 platforms is a win?

PC 15% right.

PC had a CCU of 85k. You're saying that PS5 hit a CCU of 425k? When we know that the biggest hit on both PC and PS5 this year was Helldivers 2 with at its peak a CCU of around 800k spread equally over both platforms.

You're seeing more hype for Metaphor than HD2 which took the internet by storm and was played and talked about by near everyone online??

PlayStation 4 & 5 will be like 80% at least. PC and Xbox fans can cope as much they want but I will be right. Atlus games are home at PS.

im just glad atlus games are out of sony jail. And yes most buy their games on playstation because that was the only place where you could play them until the 2020s. So very recently

I don't know if PSN is bugged but Silent Hill 2 is selling more on its fifth day than Metaphor on its 1st day. It's low on Xbox and PSN but it blew up on Steam because of China. It's an interesting situation because people are celebrating the high CCU but it doesn't look like the game is selling that much.

It was always tracking so low before the reviews so I'm not surprised.
hopefully silent hill 2 is selling good on playstation. Sales don't look high on pc. All time peak on steam was only 23k......
