Oh wow. I never even considered that as a possibility. 99% of people I've ever interacted with that play CoD are on console or PC.

Pretty sure most are using those controller attachments they sell for mobile phones.

Basically, that whole breakdown is why Microsoft has been doing what they're doing. They have always dominated the PC gaming scene, most PC gamers are using their OS and tech, and they have been making big advances into the mobile phone market. Seems like most home console gamers these days are old school millennials and gen Xers, zoomers are all about PC and mobile, and alpha is the same way. Only console you might catch them on is Switch.

yea mobile gaming is huge in markets like india. they use low/mid tier samsung phones because of the affordability. Console gaming does exist, but it is priced out for 90% of the population there. import fees/etc.

saw a video where indians said its easier to convince their parents to buy a laptop/computer for their studies and they buy a gpu for gaming.

Yeah I remember talking to some Brazilian gamers and they were saying most people over there are just gaming on mobile these days. The most popular console over there has been the Xbox Series S because of the import fees and chit making everything else too expensive for most people.

Living like Coal, a cell phone is your console, a horse is your vehicle, insects for dinner, and you can't even download Ghost of Tsushima on Steam. God damn.

Square Enix's one and only problem is two fold:

1. they continue to pursue an (Western) audience that will NEVER play their games, regardless of the games they make, the genre, or the marketing

and

2. in doing so, they've alienated their core audience for the past 15 years.

What do I mean by point 1?

Western jewbrained golems who play CoD, GTA, 2k, God of War, Fortnite, Skyrim, The F4g of Us, Starfield, Cyberpunk, etc., etc., will NEVER play a Japanese made game, nevermind a fukking Japanese RPG. It is simply out of the question for them. The Japanese boomers in Japan don't understand this racial and national dynamic. This very same audience are the ones who think anime is gay, sushi is disgusting, and Asian women have sideway poosay. They are inherently repulsed by anything Asian or Asian made.

In short, Japanese boomers are unable to see the correlation in archetypes and taste and preference in videogames and entertainment.

No matter how many White blonde haired main characters they make, no matter how many token Black/minority they shove into their games, no matter how many fkn Western trends in gameplay they chase, no matter how many hundreds of millions of dollars they dump into maximizing graphics for these Westoid golems, no matter how much they dumb down the gameplay to appeal to the masses, the group above will STILL NEVER BUY THEIR GAMES. Because it's Japanese. It came from Japan. It's made by Japanese hands.

"it's for fkn WEABOOS and losers with yellow fever, bro lol let's run some fortnite bro then listen to Travis Scott and watch interracial gangbang on pornhub bro heh we are Western gamers bro heh"

Which directly leads into point 2, which should be self explanatory. Their core audience, you know, the people who will buy their games, regardless of reviews, are the 90s boomers like myself. These people want nothing more than a return to former glory. Yet, every year, we are served steaming piles of dogchit like FF15, FF16, Forspoken, FF7 Remake, FF7 Rebirth, FF13, all these f4gg0t ass casul games, embarrassing try hard stories, and watered down garbage truck juice gameplay designed to appeal to Westoids.

Their best game in decades is probably Star Ocean 2 Remake. Which is an Enix/Tri-Ace IP lulz.

**** SE. When they inevitably fail and FF7 part 3 sells even WORSE, despite multiplatform, then hopefully these fkn n1p retards will realize that appealing to the Western jews isn't a profitable strategy.

Living like Coal, a cell phone is your console, a horse is your vehicle, insects for dinner, and you can't even download Ghost of Tsushima on Steam. God damn.

living like you, playing video games is done with your ass up in the air and a huge dick in your anus, explains why you don't make much progress in games and love the playstation portal, because you can place it directly on the ground. I'd imagine looking up at a TV must be difficult when your face is nearly buried in the ground / pillow.

I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Rabid Sony fanboy tears off the fringes of the Steam forums. Coping replies downplaying Sony's downfall. All these moments will be lost in time, but they're fukking lulzy all the same.

[ChangGang]

Square Enix trying to appeal to Western gamers with JRPGs is like opening a sushi bar in some hick town in Alabama and wonder why it's not turning in a profit despite Westernizing their menu to include road kill nigiri, mac and cheese rolls, and fkn raw turkey sashimi, and completely alienating the 10 potential Asian customers that live in Alabama.

It's so unbelievably low IQ that despite almost 20 years of disappointment, these retards still haven't realized it yet.

[Mulloway69]

Good.

Exclusives are BS, bring on open gaming and full cross platform srs.

More competition means a better gaming environment for us. Hopefully we can get to a stage where (whoever) makes generic consoles that can be upgraded cheaply/easily and bascially are a gaming PC in a box and the only competition is who can make a better product and devs who can make a better game.

Just a reminder that no other fanbase acts this way. Sonycels have always been by far the most extreme. They're basically the screeching far left activists of the gaming world.

[Turtok]

people with Playstations primarily only care about playing Sportsball, Call of Duty, GTA, and Marvel/Superhero slop in the easiest plug in and play matter. these people have no interest in Japanese JRPGs.

It just doesn't make sense for Square Enix to be in bed with them

Their titles would sell far better on Nintendo consoles. And most "Hardcoregamers" that want to play higher powered modern games tend to have PC setups capable of such.

Yeah it's true, anything that appeals to a hardcore or niche crowd better be on PC if they want to make money off it.

[outfoxxed]

FF itself just isnt that popular anymore. That problem exists regardless of platform.

They need to get back on the map with game that can get mass appeal. Unfortunately, I dont know if they can do it with a game that even resembles the FF we know.

FF isn't popular cause they release hot garbage every time

[FallOutBrah]

sadly only games like fortnite have the potential to succeed nowadays.

[theory816]

Good move, exclusives are bad.

Nah. I like exclusives. It gives the platform some - exclusivity.

[JayJ350]

That's only because everyone is obsessed with trying to create the next Fortnite.

they arent as good as they used to be but they arent hot garbage

This is the real answer.

Square has been sh*t since back in the PS3 days with FFXIII (which was also NOT exclusive for PS3 btw)

Lol at Xcels coping and taking this as some kind of "W", but I understand their desperation now Xbox is literally one foot in the grave
