"Who cares about these weird ass Japanese games? Only a handfulweebs buy Persona and Nier and Nioh"

How good is the crow when these games are the best selling games for their respective developers?

Man, it's just too ironic. As if Final Fantasy, Nintendo and From Software weren't proof enough of the stability of the Japanese Triple A industry. I mean, yeah these games won't sell Call of Duty numbers. But then again most Western games don't. Selling the same as most Western games, and with a fraction of the budget to boot? This can only be a positive thing for the video game triple A industry as a WHOLE, let alone the Japanese industry!

Nioh, Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dragon Quest 11 ... all will probably sell 2.5-3 mil lifetime. This is great news especially when these games are all so interesting, and great!

But nah ... this is just weab trash that doesn't count as Triple A, and doesn't contribute to the game industry at alllllllllllllllll. I mean, anime? Who likes that? Hahahaha

For the most part, it's been selling full price too, so those 2mil are significant. Congratulations to Nier and Platinum. I hear this game saved them.

JRPGS/Japanese games are niche. Persona 5 sells 2m units. Nier sells 2m units. Dragon 11 has sold over 5m units. TLG sells 2million units. Xenoverse sells 3million units. Naruto games sold over 3m units. Dark souls 3 sold over 2m units. Bloudborne at 4m units.

Great game, they could port this to Switch. Would be much easier than porting FFXV.

So then, what I don't understand is, why couldn't they port this to Xbox? I know it won't sell ps4 numbers. But it would help this game reach 3M sales more easily. The xbox port of ffxv didn't do that bad.
