Probably total lifetime sales around 200K. Considering it's less popular than the Souls series and BB only sold about 2 million total lifetime. So about 10% of the sales seems reasonable, maybe 250K if it gets good reviews.

Oh yeah. Because businesses just hate money and would never do something beneficial for themself, right? Exclusives don't mean shit to them, they are not your friends. If they see people asking for a PC version of a game they'll port it to get extra cash, they don't care about your feelings and consolewars faggotry on an anonymous imageboard.

And its also not coming to PC so keep begging

Considering the amount of games that are held exclusive on each different platform this seems the case.

>>344352257
Not him but believing it will sell more on Steam is delusional. Perhaps 300 on PS4 and 100 on PC, just like MGR, though Taro games are of a more weeb nature, in other words, it will have half ts sales on Japan (aka land of no pc aside from VN shit)
>>
>>344352814
all those games were shown with PC/steam release info on them during release, not ports. Automata has only had "Only on PS4" from the start. If that changes before release then whoopsies, but I wouldn't be holding your breath.
You don't have to be so salty dude, if you don't have the disposable income to buy a console, just pick up some more chores and mommy might buy one for you at christmas.

I'd bet after multiplat on Xbone and PC that FFXV will sell at least 7-8 million even while getting a 75 metascore. FF is a series that can be counted on to sell more than 6 mil pretty easy.
>>
Maybe 5 million. It will be a trainwreck of a game after spending so much time stucked in developer hell. It will be talked with enthusiasm st first, just like XIII or MGSV, and then its popularity will die quickly.

>>344354268

I really hate censorship (which is part of the reason I started learning Japanese so I don't got to deal with it anymore) but god damn, can't we wait til we know it's there to sperg out about it?

What? I don't think it's been in development for more than a couple years.
>>
>>344354747

That's hugely optimistic. For reference the first Nier sold 630K copies. 0.63 million.

Square considered Tomb Raider to be a failure until it passed the 6 million mark. Square spends stupid amounts of money on development and loses it all because they don't seel 10mil copies. Most devs would consider 5 mil to be a huge success, but Square is shit at business.
>>
>>344355735
Tomb Raider was a big franchise. Nier is a cult classic and Taro games are for a niche audience. I think they now that the game will sell half a million if it goes well.

Okay, but no way in hell FFXV will only sell 5 million copies, regardless of the game quality.

I'm not saying that the game will be shit, but I'm not saying it will be good either, the only thing I know for sure is that it WILL sell.
>>
>>344350634
It will sell me a copy here hihi ^^
>>
>>344355735
Square didn't spend a lot for Nier 2, it is a niche game, and Platinum is a cheap contractor.

Selling 1 million is enough for it to be considered a success.

Yeah and whatshisface stepped down as CEO and the new guy isn't autistic. I wouldn't be surprised FFXV made their money back on pre-orders alone

There's no exclusivity deal and Square is one of the most PC friendly publishers from Japan. Almost everything they do is on PC eventually. Probably add an extra 20% to global sales when it comes to PC.
