Interview with Yosuke Matsuda.

 

 

They are still games that have been present in Nintendo consoles, so they should be counted.  Do you have exact numbers ? Do you have a link, where it is reported? Are the number worldwide or region specific?

 

And? Just because you have the fastest selling console of all time, doesn't mean that you are receiving money from it, the true is that Sony is not receiving money from PS4 hardware, they only receive money from software and PS plus since now they make you pay for online. Unless Sony can make money from the PS4 hardware, ditch their useless divisions, and find a way to lower their gigantic debt, they should be hitting bankruptcy in the upcoming years and will not see the PS4's life till the end, the 1.1 Billion loss they are expecting is not good either.

 

Yes, but why compare sales of the original version to the remastered version? Seems kinda silly to me.

 

What sales numbers do you want? Well for FINAL FANTASY games on Android, they actually say a rough selling range on the game's page. iOS sales are normally higher and there's also Windows Phone and Amazon App store sales.

So where exactly does your irrational hate for the Wii come from? Also, The virtual console has the original versions of FFIV and VI. Where on your smartphone is that?

He never play games unless it's in dem 1080 pees cuz graphics somehow>>>>>>>>>>>Gameplay....don't ask me how that works as he think that Square is Jesus

FINAL FANTASY III sold well on DS because it was the first time it was released outside of Japan. And I didn't want to compare it to those games since those games have been remastered for iOS, Android and Windows Phone and sold anywhere between 100,000 and 500,000 on Android alone each.

 

Sony die? Please. PlayStation 4 is the fastest selling console of all time.

you do realize that Sony isn't just video games or are you living in another world??

 

Sony is a multi-media company with movie studios and they make Blu-Ray players,TVs,Cameras,mobile phones....etc

 

Heck the playstation division isn't their main source of profit and while sure the Ps4 is selling a lot,their other divisions are barely selling anything especially with the 3D TVs

 

 

the profit that the PS division generates isn't even enough to cover the losses that the other divisions causes

 

Sony must pay attention to their other divisions as much as they do with Playstation.....otherwise even if the Ps4 sold as much as the Ps2 it still won't cover the losses

My smartphone's 480p. So yeah, clearly I only play games in 1080p.

 

And I definitely don't think Square Enix is Jesus.

 

I only follow the Computer Entertainment part of Sony. I use other brands for other things.

Those other brands you don;t follow are affecting Sony's finance horribly

 

if those didn't do well and they lose a ton of money,you might see the playstation brand being own by Samsung.

 

Just because you only folllow their entertainment division doesn't mean nothing happens in the other divisions and doesn't mean their 100% okay as you'd like to assume in that happy world of rainbows

Well I do like to be happy, thank you for noticing. If only you did so sooner.

I'm not interested in smartphone games, primarily since I don't own one myself. I wish they'd stick to consoles. 

Yes, but why compare sales of the original version to the remastered version? Seems kinda silly to me.

 

What sales numbers do you want? Well for FINAL FANTASY games on Android, they actually say a rough selling range on the game's page. iOS sales are normally higher and there's also Windows Phone and Amazon App store sales.

 

 

Because remasters are known to sale badly, only certain remasters have the luck of having good sales, the port of the DS version in the mobile markets,  proof this, a unknown number between 100k-500k, for a platform with what could be 3-5 times more than the DS, is pathetic. 

 

That is still not a specific number, I want a EXACT number, and that says installs, someone could have easily, downloaded it, install it, deleted it for a while, and then install it.

 

I was also going to add this last night to my last post, when I mentioned the PS4, but I couldn't.

The PS4 has a 400 dollars price tag, the console alone costs 381 dollars to be made, that already leaves only 19 dollars of profit. Then you have do substract, the manufacturing price of the controller that it brings, the cost of printing the instruction booklets and the box design, the low price of the power cord, and if it comes with a game. The console is already sold at a loss. Then you have to take care of Japan, and how they gifted a copy of a game that obviously haven't recovered the money that was used to be develop, so you have to also substract that money from any earning the division has, which by using a 55 price tag, would had made them lose  17,582,895 millions, then you also have to rest maybe some 40 dollars, because of the controllers, which would add 280 billions, but then you also have to substract from that, every accessory sold, every game sold that have already recovered what was used to be made, every online game bought, and every PS Plus subscriptions, which should lower alot the loss. But with all that have sold, the loss should be minimal, unnless it is added to debt, since if not, they would be long gone.

I can't give exact numbers, you only get exact numbers if the developer releases them. So in this case Square Enix.

 

Pathetic? It's a remaster of a game that's been remade and ported like five times. And not everyone likes FINAL FANTASY obviously. And that's not including iOS sales which are usually higher along with Windows Phone and Amazon App store sales. And might I add the FINAL FANTASY games on Android are among the most popular games on the Google Play store.

 

In response to your petition, what on earth would be the point of that? Lol. They aren't even full remakes. They're remasters at most. They are using the PSP versions of I & II and the DS versions of III and IV. And as for V and VI they're using the GBA versions with the characters and monsters remade by the original creator which aren't even that great looking. No point porting them to any home console. Might get away with porting The After Years to 3DS and all the IV games to PS Vita but that's about it. 3D remakes for V and VI on PS Vita and 3DS will come soon, hopefully. Doesn't make much sense to do much else.

Ammm.... I think you three are getting so over the topic.. anyway, you should stop while you can, yes Sony is in trouble, Yes Nintendo is doing some troubles, but it´s not the main topic of this.... (It was Square ENix... if I read it well). Sora usually the count of a videogame sales counts every single version of it, however you can divide it into game systems to check sales if you want, however, you have to admit that mayority of the older FF games sold better than the newest ones, and that without the global marketing we have today, so it´s kinda fool to glorify one system for having more sales than other when the original title sold more. This goes to you MEtal and  tlozbj as well. Games are for play and have fun that´s all... theres not need to make consoles warfare.... As for IOs and Android and SE plans, I think is a good idea as long as they make titles of quality...not All the bravest and Fast makeups of FFV and VI.

It does? I usually only count multiple versions if they are released at the same time.

 

I'm not disputing the fact that they sold better originally, I clearly stated that they are remasters of games that have been remade and ported like five times each. So the sales they're getting are pretty good. 

 

ATB is a free game with in-game-purchases, plenty of titles do it. Is it a good game? No. But Square Enix are definitely not going to lose money over a simple game like that.

 

In regards to V and VI, I feel like Square Enix just wanted them out on iOS and Android asap meaning they'd finally be on modern hardware again. The last release was on GBA. That's ancient hardware now. Even the DS's hardware is quite old. I believe they will start remaking them in 3D soon.

(DOn´t call Ancient My GBA T_T) Anyway it does, but usually the fanbase divide it for their own convenience... ironically. As for ATB, well.. it´s true you cannot lose money with a simgle mistake...but if they got many? We don´t have idea of their future plans, so it´s too soon to affirm or decline anything related to this... they need to make games of quality... thats the only thing usually gamers ask. As For FFV and VI I want it on 3DS however playing the original games is no bad trustme, you need to play at least FF6 to understand tha 3D is not a golden rule. Althought I would like it to be remade, I can atmid on that but that´s because i played the original, so...

I want it remade in 3D because after going from I & II to III and IV on Android...it's just so much better remade like III and IV in particular were.

 

And I'd rather not see Nomura think up another like ATB, he's got MUCH more important things to do.
