XboxEra Community Hangout |OT7| Define "AAAA"

Depends on Square’s call. Either give more time to FF16 to space out from Forspoken, or just launch next to each other like a month apart.

Do not forget that Forespoken was the one that was delayed, so I do not think FF will be the one getting moved, so it could be close.

not as close as redfall and starfield

im ok with this. The sooner it comes out then the sooner it comes to xbox. Hopefully the story is good. They have all sucked story wise since 10. if it comes to xbox ill try it there. if not ill pick this up on ps5 when its like 15 bucks

In that regard Sony and Square Enix is a match made in heaven - one dismantled Japanese team for underperformance, another one dismantles western teamp for underperformance :rofl: And constantly blames the western content.

No real new info in there at all, so I wonder why it was published today instead of in January. Even the statements on the Worldslayer DLC is shallow merely saying will be released in 2022 when we have the exact release date and costs and rundown of additions.

I just listened to this discussion (not the whole book, yet) and I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Reggie Fils-Aimé and/or Nintendo during his time with the company. It’s nothing particularly groundbreaking, but a fun little behind-the-scenes peek.

They cover a bunch of different topics, like Mother 3, Nintendo E3 presentations, memes, Nintendo Land, Keighley’s special relationship with Satoru Iwata (which Reggie seems somewhat in awe of), Nintendo and Reggie’s involvement with the Game Awards, including when Reggie, Phil Spencer, and Shawn Layden kicked off the awards in 2018, and some other stuff, too.

Just think, if/when the ABK acquisition goes through, the Xbox division will be duking it out with the Windows division for the 3rd biggest business within Microsoft.

Potentially. But it should be able to reach 20b at least.

It would blitz past that figure. As I said, it will be potentially reaching $23+ billion.

Activision had 8.8B USD revenue last year

So it may probably cross it :slightly_smiling_face:

Well maybe. It depends what is gonna be included. Warzone 2 and MW2 launches will be big. Overwatch 2 might also bring more $$$ and not to mention all that mobile staff

That debut gameplay didn’t impress me, curious how much it has improved.

Still very unfortunate only fucking Sony is getting it, but it is what it is.

But is that surprising? It is Final Fantasy after all and Sony moneyhats it to the core. And it still one of these “original” moneyhats at the start of the gen.

I’ll probably play it on PC when it comes

Yeah, sadly

Would have loved to have FF7R by now.

I look forward to this coming out and fans finding out it’s only 1/3rd of the game because Square decided they wanted to give fans the privilege of spending $70 every 2-4 years to get the complete experience. :smile:
