Final Fantasy 16 is a PS5 exclusive ‘for 6 months’, Sony marketing claims | VGC
The upcoming sequel could be ported to PC after its exclusivity window expires…

That's not Final Fantasy XIV.
5m on ps5 would be great but don't think it's going to get to that based off historical attach rates.
Maybe ff16 is bigger than ff7r?

Could have been at least 7 months. Wasted opportunity.

Sony is treating FF as a first-party title for quite some time now. I think the game will launch on PS5 and port to PC 12 months later. Not coming to Xbox ever, I think.
I think Sony is also gonna treat the KOTOR remake the same way: exclusive launch on PS5, to be ported on PC later like first-party games. No Xbox.

5m is little bit stretch on my part, but expect it to do huge numbers. Since it's a new mainline.

That is what Sony can do, yet MS is incapable of doing it, like dumb guys.

This is as dumb as STALKER 2 rumored 3 month exclusivity. Money hat exclusives in general are just wild annoying. I hope at some point the industry moves away from them.

I moved to xbox as my main platform after microsoft aquired bethesda and call of duty. So if it comes to xbox 6 month after release, I think I can wait. Would be great, I like having all games on one platform to avoid switching controllers and dealing with the different quirks of each consoles' ui.

I'd like to know how much Sony is dishing out for exclusivity. It's got to be enough to make it worth Square's while. So much that it's worth leaving out an entire platform presumably indefinitely.

Sony has Japan, while MS doesn't. Meaning they have more advantages.
Also, their console numbers plays a huge role getting good deals.
MS doesn't have those.

Why doesn’t Sony just buy the damn company that makes it

Waiting for PC release + Steam availability + PC version fixes + Complete Edition + 75% discount.
Should take me to 2025 easily.

Like hell MS is incapable of doing it. Watch the "not E3" MS showcase this summer - pretty much every third-party game was "console launch exclusive".

Yep. No point restricting access to xbox and pc gamers. Capcom has realized and soon Square Enix will too that a lot of people now play on pc now and then there is steam deck. PC as a platform is also critical for preservation and this title will shine for years to come from the looks of it. I am really really rooting for this game to move the series forward in a meaningful way. Sure I love FF Remakes but the graphics card of today are made for FF series more than anything.

Those games aren't on the same grade as Sony exclusives.
Even their own timed exclusives is like 6 months. While ff7r isn't even on xbox after 2020 release.
MS position doesn't offer them those lucrative deals.

The fact he is having to quote games from around 10 years ago says it all.
Yeh sure, if you ignore the more recent games that have had similar fates.

You can list every console timed exclusives that existed before xbox.
People want to prove something, and they would go to such a length.The fact he is having to quote games from around 10 years ago says it all.

Yeah bro, unless FFXVI turns out to be the best game ever I think I'll be in the same train as you.

Do you have selective reading syndrome or something?
It's as easy as the media and press pressing and asking Sony and Square for clarification of the terms as we saw in the days of Tomb Raider and the temporary exclusivity with Xbox. The reality is that they don't show the same impetus when MS doesn't.
As said above, it is clear that Sony has taken the strategy of linking the FF franchise to PlayStation and does so using its position of dominance in the market.
The possibility of an Xbox console version is reduced to a Gamepass release when the generation is ending and nobody cares anymore.

If we go by ff7r pc, it would take more than 2025 for the price to drop down.

Right now without giving much thoughts about it Id'say Scorn, Stalker 2, the medium, High on life, Ark 2 and there's probably tons of others.

That's not long. I think I'll wait the 6 months for it to hit Xbox (and possibly Game Pass).

This strategy is effectively cutting down Ff fans on xbox. Which means, once those games drop on xbox, it would sell less copies. And that would give square reasons to skip xbox.
Its evil, but genius tactic.

If ff16 is good, I might have to buy it on PS, considering the next option would be epic exclusivity.
