It just works
Let’s see if Street Fighter can retake its commercial sales crown from Tekken
Can you believe trillion dollar company Microsoft tried to play the “woe is me” trap card?
The scumbag lost his easy way out
I don’t there’s a big enough market on Nintendo platforms for traditional FPS games to financially justify such an endeavor
It’s a similar situation for why various JRPGs skip out on Xbox release nowadays.
The leak was real yet again
That’s what I’m doing. I’m too accustomed to slim PlayStation consoles at this point
Wasn’t this supposed to be a F2P game
The plumber can be as ruthless as the mouse

Even funnier fact. Luminous Productions just got absorbed into Square Enix, a company that just like Mistwalker doesn’t produce any Xbox games in the immediate future.
Do you really have to ask that question? Have you not seen the amount of studios Microsoft has shut down?
@ Obscure
It’s already known to anybody who has common sense. JRPGs sell better on every platform than on Xbox.
PS+ has way more games than GP and thus more JRPGs. If Microsoft didn’t moneybat devs with GP they probably wouldn’t even release it on the platform to begin with. And like I said the devs still get their revenue from other platforms, namely PlayStation. In addition to that many of those games will still arrive on PS+ regardless. The clear diffe...
Another bites the dust
Because you don’t let a lucrative property go dormant when you clearly have the option of keeping it thriving
If Game Pass were that sustainable for JRPGs on Xbox you’d see Square Enix games releasing their 2023 games on it. Even outside of Square Enix you still see various Japanese games release on PlayStation, Nintendo & PC but skip Xbox
Plus the JRPGs that do come out on GP can still recoup revenue on other platforms. Making it exclusive to Xbox isn’t viable for a lot of those companies
Because Kingdom Hearts is on PC 😑
“they thought it would be fun to do a dozen spin offs before the final game in the Xehanort saga”
It was because it was necessary. The devs that made KH1 & KH2 went onto to make FFvXIII that later became FFXV. Nomura stated they wouldn’t start work on KH3 until after FFvXIII was finished. This would’ve meant the series would’ve remained dormant until after FFXV came out if there weren’t any handheld entries to keep the series going in the meantime.
Making any JRPG exclusive to an Xbox platform is a financial death sentence
The author was specifically talking about PlayStation Plus Premium, not just the entire service as a whole
You can already play both Power Battle games on modern platforms
Never underestimate the power of PlayStation
