" , because team ninja is known dev on xbox with the ninja gaiden series. One that you guys didnt even have til sigma.Lol. so nioh would have did well."
That only happened because Itagaki liked Xbox and as soon as he left there has been no more exclusives from the series hitting Xbox. Considering how well received Nioh has been I doubt Xbox will get any more exclusives. With Itagaki gone and how well their games are doing on PS4 it's ...
The last 2 Japanese games they funded they canceled. Phantom Dust and Scalebound. It's pretty doubtful Japanese studios didn't notice.
I honestly thought it would take one person pushing a button and doing all the side work like QC as well. Who knew! s/
That's hilarious. Jim Carrey is acting the part of Dumb and Dumber. Great joke!
Because they predict they won't make back the cost of porting it? The PC market is far greater and it's been shown time and again Xbox users don't support these type of games.
" can you provide total software sales for the first game OUTSIDE of japan?"
Can you? You assume niche sales and have nothing to back your argument either. Waiting for your proof. Considering you should back up your argument. Or you going to just take it at face value? Oh right maybe you can get us metrics on engagement, button presses etc?!
They do well in Europe as well. There are over 740 million people in Europe, so yeah. There are other countries outside the U.S. Maybe take a look at the map and learn about people outside the U.S. This is why people outside the U.S. consider them so ignorant.
Straight up damage control. It's sad that literally every time there is this discussion Moldy jumps in with the same idiotic comment.
Also on the point on sales, franchises build up over ti...
Xbox is on their 10th Halo franchise game/ remaster in 11 years, 5th Dead Rising, 5th Gears, 9th Forza game, 3rd Crackdown and 2nd State of Decay and Sony is the one with sequelitis?! Lol.
"unleashes and takes back the crown...."
Must be made of tinfoil because last I checked Xbox NEVER had the crown this gen. Hard to take back what you never had.
Based on what I am receiving and our preorders being so low, that is rather doubtful. It's not going to be anything like what you're expecting for sales.
You know what else is funny? Graphics being better on PC doesn't make a sh!tty game any less sh!tty. Seriously what else is like Horizon on PC?
For a guy who is seemingly above everyone else, he seems pretty dumb to making assumptions based on a couple compressed images. You would figure he would be too busy gaming it up on his PC with his mountain of exclusives instead of trolling.
How many Xbox One exclusives sold 8 million? None.
Plus playing percentages is stupid. For example let's say PC sold 2 million copies of Gears 4 and there are 200 million computers out there then guess what according to your idiotic logic that's ONLY 1% of PC owners bought the game so it's a failure. Or 10 million people bought a phone game, but, with 2 billion phones out there that's 0.5% so fail.
Publishers don't care about those ...
I'm on the list, but, I'm not as active as most people on that list. Lol
Freedom comes at a price. If the game developer spreads themselves thin then you would be criticizing them for a garbage unfocused game. There are limits to how many versions a studio can work on. If it was so easy then how come all these PC games which are basically done and the same architecture aren't being ported to console? It should be easy right?

" You just described the benefit of UWP to a tee. Develop once, sell on multiple devices. It's just business."
Some things just aren't though.

You don't have any better idea of the threshhold where something is or isn't worth it.

Tecmo still owns the game. Pretty sure Sony is just publishing. It would depend on the deal between Sony and Tecmo Koei however and we don't got those details.
Then you have your answer and are wasting everyone's time with your now pointless post. If it's not worth it then it won't be done plain and simple.
Why? If it's not profitable and cost more to port and localize than what it would sell it's pointless. Cost versus benefit analysis. It's just business.
Well some people fail in life in general so I am inclined to file this under that category. Just laughable that someone that writes so terribly can criticize someone for the very same thing. Lol.
