It’s the same scenario as the money hatting Sony does. It’s also just keeping them off another console.
It’s the same if it was on other platforms or paid to be off other platforms even if it never was.
No it's not. It was paid to be on that platform.
Not paid to keep other platforms from the game.
Good example is think of Activision and Bethesda as once upon a time being open areas of resources for entities (Sony, MS, Nintendo etc) to openly and freely use . The acquisition is like MS forming a gated compound around these once free open areas and just selectively sending out resources (if any) to the others.
The other is like making a deal and bartering for resources between two entities (Sony and Koei Tecmo) where Sony pays for a particular item and Koei Tecmo says sure for that price.
Well, well, well, aren't you a little detective lol
I've always been fully transparent on the internets with who I really am, some around here even have me on social media (I think I have a few posts here and there with links to my Instagram).
But hey, props for putting in the effort shawn lol
You told me what your psn is lol
I just remembered
No? Final Fantasy started as a Sony franchise? Metal Gear started as a Sony franchise? Street Fighter?

FF 15 was multiplat , same with latest mgs , street fighter not sure what the deal was but something to do with Evo maybe ?
Sf exist cos capcom didn’t think it would sell, it was a time of hurt when it happened, and Sony funded it. Same goes with Xbox with the first titanfall, tomb raider and mass effect…granted they were timed exclusives, but it got the ball rolling for said devs
And? They still moneyhatted franchises that had a history of being multiplat. There was no way of knowing at the time if that trend would continue in the future or not.
Maybe SE Wanted to make that deal as well seeing how Japanese games don't fare that well on Xbox.
They probably don’t have the resources to work on another platform, well, at that time. I think there was some issue with servers, that one dev mentioned, when someone brought up about adding Xbox to it. But I think there was an issues about cross play at the time too.
But they do well on Xbox. Many have, including Elden Ring. They just don't come to Xbox often because Sony money hats the Japanese games....making people think nobody on Xbox wants them. Xbox consumers are the same as PS consumers. That would be like saying an owner of a Samsung blu-ray player is more inclined to watch Jackie Chan movies than an owner of a Zenith blu-ray player.
Most gamers are casuals. The vast owners of PS and Xbox are casuals.
Final Fantasy VII Remake wouldn't sell if released day one on the XBox? Give me a break. You're not just talking about "Japanese games". These are some of the most notable franchises of all time. They would absolutely sell.

It would sell but maybe not enough from SE's view. They have the data from FF15 sales splits by platforms. They probably made the decision to not launch on Xbox console there based on that.
Yup. Less Xbox consoles sold than PlayStation consoles sold.Elden Ring Sales Top 12 Million Copies Worldwide, FromSoftware Hints At Expanding Brand "Beyond the Realm of Games"

Lets say globally it was 40% Playstation and 20% Xbox. You're still talking about a 50% increase in console sales by porting to Xbox.
50+ million X1s and 17 million XS is a decent number. But no where close to the 120 million PS4s and 21 million PS5s.
