No excuses when it comes to console they don’t want to hear it so same fu*kin energy it’s a flop like almost every other game on PC.

All those Xbot reality checks are being cashed. 😂

I been on Playstation since day 1 on ps1 and the final fantasy series NEVER intrigued me.

Even Xbox dudes would’ve bought more than 289K. For how big of a platform PC is, they don’t buy more than the same 5 games.

but the real question is why do you care and what do you get out of a game doing good in sales or bad in sales on a platform?
This happens almost everywhere xbox, playstation and pc… maybe a few other platforms or to other services as well.

All you are doing is winning

I wish Sony would abandon their PC aspirations and go back to putting multiplayer on all their games.

Alan Wake 2 is not on Steam. Epic Games Store exclusive.

You don’t see sales on PC cause those broke b*tches pirate games

I wonder what GTA is gonna do on PC using that logic the PC guys are saying it was a day and date

That being said, SONY is making quite some profit on the PS5 Pro which is good especially considering the fact that they might delay next generation console till 2030. At that time PS5 Pro will become the cheap accessible hardware beside the PS6.

The problem with SE is they spending too much money on the marketing of their FF games. I followed the release of FF closely as a I’m a big fan but if we look at amount launch events they do for the mainline FF games it ridiculous and I never see any other game companies do that, even PS doesn’t do that for first party games.

Bunch o delusional kids here still warring. Grow up. Thats 200k they werent selling being tied to a sinking ship. They want money. Not stupid console wars

When single player games are released later on PC we wait for discounts…why? Because we already know the ending 😂. When GTA 6 release same thing ppl on PC going straight for the free online segment 🤷‍♂️. Single player games in these days are a hard sale.

PC gamers don’t buy games. Sony knows that all to well too besides a couple outliers

Even PC can’t save it. 😅

No surprise FF16 flopped on Pc, Pc players similar to bots.

Not a day 1 launch so the hype is gone we waited and you are still charging almost full price at 49.99$ which this game just isn’t up to par to be asking for that. 2 Has Denuvo DRM which kills performance and is just generally almost like installing malware on your PC. 3 Because of said Denuvo DRM the performance is very poor which is why PC gamers don’t like games with Denuvo DRM in it because it kills the performance of the game. 4 This isn’t one of the best of the mainline series of Final Fantasy either so why would anyone bother with it at this point?

in all fairness final fantasy 16 abandoned the core users and rebirth(all said and done is still a good game) is the continuation of the ultimate bait and switch because it’s not a true remake. square just don’t hit like it used to

Sea of Thieves sold one million in one month on PlayStation 5 ,a seven years old game so what is the excuse.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry. I feel like I’m being bathed with truth on so many levels.

1) With PS5 Pro suddenly all the Xbots are acting like 5K usd PC gamers.

A big issue with FF16 is that it’s a game THAT PUSHES MODERN TECHNOLOGY!

The PS5 was vaping on Day 1 final boss!

I assure you many PC gamers aren’t even CONSIDERING FF16 cause it surpassed their machines.

2) PlayStation is the main market.

FF16 sold millions of copies. SOME COMPANIES WOULD KILL FOR THEIR NUMBERS.

Gamers can’t handle numbers. It wasn’t that FF16 didn’t sell… ITS THAT IT DIDNT REACH SE’s EXPECTATIONS. Spoilers, they never reach expectations on their big games! FF7 Remake P1 didn’t “succeed” on their metrics either and Rebirth did even worse. Answer? EXPECTATIONS is the math they are doing wrong.

SE has become the FF studio, and once FF7 P3 comes out. They would have used up their cash cow.

As matter of fact..we need to keep track how much these PC dudes actually buy games!! 🤔

Its pony Rock …concorde flopped PlayStation fanboys not buying games,concorde was cancelled and money refunded, plus studio closed,sony spent 400million in losses 😅😅😅

Nvidia raping they pc dorks pockets now they cant afford to cop games😂

It’s an amazing game. Most jaw drops I had playing a game this gen. It’s so good. Pc players don’t like single player games anymore. Normal honest single player game…. And that’s for 50$. I bought it for 70 on release and it was worth it

Stop porting to PC. Let them keep playing counter strike and RTS games

Stop sending great games to PC if they won’t buy them…same with MS Xbox and the Xbot gamers. Fk’em 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Square probably spent more porting FF16 than they made back from PC.

Lmao wow PC what happen y’all flop in technology can’t handle a game that run amazing on console lmao lmao

the Pirating Community strike again…

Poor SE, multiplat didn’t do shit for them… 😢😢😂😂

Shift Up may have a rude awakening too, because they expect Stellar Blade to sell more on PC.

Sp games that sell more on PC are the exeption, like Wukong or Baldurs gate 3

All those pc owner already purchased and played ff16 on their ps5 over a year ago. This is not a win for PlayStation. Or proving a point. 😂. Now next port it to Xbox. Continue to grow the sells or release it on Gamepass to get that nice Microsoft check, and move on to the next project. I can promise you the moment square enix port games day and date to all platforms, those PlayStation numbers will drop drastically for future titles 🤦‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

pc fanboy:”Ill wait for the pc version”.

Square has deluded themselves into believing that multiplatform will sky rocket their sales. Truth is most of their fans are on playstation and Nintendo.

No, it is just that everyone feels their games can sell like GOWR and Spiderman 2, even with individual player time reduced due to the end of the pandemic.

games selling better on console is nothing new. just look at the 80/20 split from silent hill 2 in favor for ps5, or the 70+% sales from cod. it was always like this. sure, sometimes there are exceptions, but if some studio is expecting equal or more sales on pc they´re most likely in for a rude awakening (looking at shifup)

PC nerds don’t buy games 😂

Imagine how much it’s gonna sell on Xbox lol …..🎉🎉🎉🎉

Remedy got Fat Paycheck from Epic to be exclusive to them on PC. Alan Wake 2 will see a spike in sales once it hits Steam.

All this hating in an echo chamber. 😂😂 worried bout sales of a game he doesnt play or a company he doesn’t own. Grow tf up. You could still enjoy your games with all this info. Yall losing soo much sleep ain’t it😂😂

Square’s other failure was Babylon fall, had nothing to do with PlayStation. They also dropped like 20 games in like 2 years. Forspoken, diofield chronicles, harvestella, octopath 2, triangle strategy, ff16, etc. Not even die hard square fans could keep up

Putting games on PC is always a mistake if it’s a console type game in the first place. Hermits have too many ways to steal games and get discounts on games. You’ll never get your budget back on that garbage platform. I don’t feel sorry for square enix they’re actually listening to these fools on the Internet. Square wasn’t getting a dime over what they made on PS5 they should be grateful

All final fantasy games are extremely unoptimized.

And now they have turned their backs on PlayStation fans who buy their games somewhat because they’re exclusive to the PlayStation platform. Now that’s all gone. Good luck getting PlayStation fans to buy your game again.

Pc gamers have wish lists of hundreds of games and wait for sales. There is always something to play on pc, console is drip fed games. Tbere are games on pc that will never be on console. And since we dont own our games who is going to pay full price. Not many.

PuertoRock kept his eye on the ball. What did PC players do? Oh thats right lie and deny and play counter strike for the millionth time 😂

FFXVI would have sold more if it wasn’t for the bad performance. It does run better on PS5 Pro though.

Steam only has 132 million monthly users, and they can have multiple accounts, so it’s probably around 50 or 60 million PC players, it’s a smaller market than console, and they don’t play AAA titles, they like weird niche games and multiplayer, crpgs, strategy games! That’s just the reality

They kept saying it only sold 3 million because its exclusive (3 mil not even bad), yet its not exclusive now and it couldnt even hit half a mil off PC 😂😂😂

3M in 4 days on 40M systems at 70. PC legit sold 10x less at $50 in a month.
If Square thinks 16 was a flop on PS5 wtf is it on PC?

I personally think FF series is overrated. I could never get into it, not to mention all of the stories are so elementary and lack originality.

The conversation being about this is part of the problem. We should be talking about how concerning it is to see Square sales so low.

Xbox players be like: Flops? How many flops? Are they teraflops? 😂

FF16 not being bang for your buck??? I have 151 hours in that game and it only cost $100. That’s a good bang for your buck.

PC players pirate single player games.

PRock been cookn somn serious lately!!!

Nigga said he thinks FF16 has 300k or more pirated downloads….making up shit. You do know if you use a torrent that it tells you the number of seeder and downloads it has, right? You lit don’t need to make up shit.

Sony and shift up needs to keep stellar blade far away from pc as possible,

This is a square issue not an exclusivity issue. Sqaure has had shit games and have broken their base fans over the last 3 games. Ff13 trash and that had 3 games, ff15 most would say is awful despite being massively sold, ff7 story changes broke the base. 16 is a great game but faith in the company has been lost plus performance issues were a problem.

Company issue not a platform issue

Ff16 was so mid

Even if it it launched day and date on PC I fully believe it wouldn’t have sold dramatically better and still would have been considered a sales flop. Square Enix as a publisher is just very unrealistic with their sales expectations of all their games and aren’t very wise with managing the budgets of their games. Not to mention from a technical perspective they have dropped the ball consistently with their games which is sad because in the PS1/PS2 days they were juggernauts. Lastly a lot of their franchises as a whole have not been clicking with getting new younger audience on board. Great vid PRock.

I agree with all your points except 1. Gta6 is nowhere near the budget of 500 to 600 million. It’s well over 1 billion right about now. Maybe closer to 2

I’m really starting to get sick of hearing that PC is cheaper because it’s free to play online.

You do not need to pay for online for single player games, which is the vast majority of Sony’s catalogue.

You also don’t have to pay for online when it comes to the most popular multiplayer games either, because they’re (mostly) free to play titles, which also don’t require PlayStation Plus to play.

PC players also refuse to acknowledge that they pay SIGNIFICANTLY more where it comes to their electricity bill.

Most consoles use less than 300W of electricity, whereas most average PC users , use 2X if not 3X the amount of electricity every year, which in today’s climate can equal several hundred dollars a year more.

Gaming on PC is far more expensive PERIOD.

Outside of a few AAA titles like elden ring or cyber punk, PC gamers don’t really play games! There tinker and play strategy or crpg’s, or cs go. That’s why it’s a fools erend even porting anything to PC.

Square made more money off the money Sony paid them to be a times exclusive than the money they made from no longer being exclusive 😂

There goes the narrative that multiplatform releases “save” games or that multiplatform releases means more profit. They probably spent more money porting this to PC than the amount they made from PC

Square Enix always been multiplatform they did us kingdom hearts fans dirty they had it on phones and handles and consoles just to follow the story and people end up missing alot people got done dirty by Square Enix they never happy same can be said about what happen with many games you named they did Deus Ex . i will never forget how we waited 10 years for kingdom hearts 3 and it was shit than gave us that dog shit DLC . i only got Final Fantasy VII Remake because i dont want to play the old games but after that Square Enix has to impress me i got ff 15 played it and sold that shit to gamestop .

the ps 5 pro isnt anything that great you are paying 700.00 dollars for just a slight upgade sony is ripping you off i have friends that got the ps 5 pro and you cant really see much of a difference it just clears up the grainess in the picture and you get a 2 tb hard drive alot of people said it was a waste of money buying the ps 5 pro

PC Ports KEEP FLOPPING and yet they keep doing them so I have to believe that they still see this as a W in some way.

GTA 6 is gonna utilize the power of the PS5 Pro

Puertorock what funny this xbot think they are going to make different if those games go on the Xbox . How much did cod sold if death stranding knock it out of the top spot. You see addict n smoove talk how xbot buy games when they have too but don’t say the game is 20 not the 70 how many of them would have bought the games at 70

Bruh, PC players are the live service/multiplayer type. Every year they playing the same mmo or fps games like WoW and CSGO without fail.

Wtf is a blue sky?

It’s definitely not going to xbox if a billion pc nerds couldn’t even get it to a million sold. #CUCKS

Nah, its cuhs u gotta release simultaneously

alot of people cant efford a $700.00 console that much and also us pc gamers dont mind waiting for games to come to pc us pc gamers are not buying online subscription and buying games like the play station fans

I’ve been saying this since forever, dudes peddle fake news about PS exclusives selling 3-5 millions being a bad thing, but these are the same guys championing RE4 Remake selling 3 millions on PC, PS4, PS5, XBS combined

Like I said before, on one of your comments in the past videos. square Enix specifically square soft and Enix before the merger was Always third-party; in fact they started it on Nintendo then they left Nintendo for a little while to work with PlayStation since it was easier to develop for. now square Enix are working with all three companies and will port games on pc. so they were never exclusive company. However, I could see why it would skip the Xbox since their fans want games on game pass. And square Enix are smart because they know it will fail on the Xbox series consoles.

Paying 3 to 4 times what the Pro worth just to wait for games nah I’ll stick to my Pro it’s more reasonable and reliable 👍

It’s like Kratos said “Lower your expectations and you’ll never be disappointed”

Sqaure Enix needs to accept, there aren’t many fans of FF series or JRPG. Which is sad.

They need to continue building fanbase with PlayStation instead of going multi-plat and creating more sales loss.

If gamers expect games to come to PC eventually, then they’ll wait for PC version and you’ll lose that crucial day one sales on consoles.

Btw, PS5 pro is absolutely amazing 🤩 Can’t wait for 2025 🎉

PC is an acronym for PoserCommunity.

Whats funny cuz the New narrative now is “Well if it released Day and Date, it would have fared better” welp even with day and date it always depends on the market who is gonna play it, Xbox sure doesnt i mean look at FF15 and Crisis Core Remaster sales and I thought PC people loves to wait? i guess their mindset isnt the same for everyone else in their community 😂😂

Square Enix and multiple publishers/developers need to spend less money and time on games… And most PC gamers just care about bragging over expensive hardware and don’t play games, and if the play they just want XXX mods 😂

I agree square Enix have been dropping the ball on a technical performance level.

If they can’t get optimised when only focusing on a single platform then who knows what problems we’ll get when it goes multiplat day and date 😅

You’re my guy, but this has not been verified by a trusted source. Pull this vid until it is verified, if true.

But they said square enix putting their games on other platform will make them more money haha

man i was told PC can grow games man i have good screen shot some person told me im paying for dualsense on ps5 man bots are crazy and PC are one the same . they said steam have more numbers but the games never show them

PC Be Like: I wait for games to come to PC and then don’t buy it

Square Enix is ALREADY 90% multiplat dude

We’re in a post truth era, unfortunately these false narratives are winning today

PC has its merits don’t get me wrong, but I think some games just are destined not to do well on that platform and vice versa for console.

I doubt Crusader Kings on PlayStation is optimal either.

PC gamers waited 4 years for Ghost of Tsushima and bought a new IP that is delisted in some countries due to the PSN requirement for the multiplayer more than the F7 remake and FF16 established franchises😂. 8:50 Alan Wake 2 is an epic exclusive, sadly.

This was NOTTTTT REPORTED BY A RELIABLE SOURCE

Game was mid and had a late port,bad combo. And it flopped long term on PS5 also,it will never reach FF15 sales.

PS5 Pro start means nothing. All the fanboys bought it immediately,now you have to see if it has actual legs or will it fall off the face of the earth.

Why are you reporting fake news?

The mass majority who wanted to play this game and others play them on PlayStation that is a fact that PC and Xbox weirdos need to accept.
