I’m willing to guess up to 3m has been sold across all platforms so far, but this is a major AAA game that was being developed for a full decade, there is no way in hell they didn’t spend multiple hundreds of millions on it in total. And those are very low numbers besides. Most big titles sell more than that faster than davg has.
The other interview did suggest consoles are the problem. It’s wild to me that real developers are putting effort into those things, literally no one owns a PS5 still and the xbox is basically worthless. They’d have a better excuse to put stalker onto the switch than those ancient relics. Hopefully they get abandoned soon and the developers put all their effort where it matters.
I don’t think people quite grasp how big and terrible this news is. Kadokawa is the entertainment company. You have a favorite anime? It’s probably kadokawa’s or at least related to them some how. You like Japanese jank games? Chunsoft belongs to kadokawa. RPG Maker classics? RPG Maker belongs to kadokawa. Novels? They are a big publisher in addition to owning bookwalker. Not to mention the random shit they have like niconico. Did i mention tourism? Because they have a lot of that too.
This could genuinely be catastrophic for Japanese culture (and that means otaku culture too, weebs)
Don’t know. It just feels like the path is overwhelmingly focused on a stupid joke on the part of the court. When i first played through it i was expecting less ‘childlike’ and more ‘wonder’ and it’s just disappointing the way it is, especially for someone who liked azatas before they went into the game.
That’s the kinda story you don’t hear much these days
