FF16 เปิดตัวตามที่คาดแต่ระยะยาวเสือกแป๊ก ยอดวาย3ล้านอยู่ยังงั้นไม่เพิ่มสักที ยังวางแผน18เดีอนอยู่
FF7 rebirth ต่ำกว่าที่คาด เลยไม่กล้าบอกยอดขาย
Foamstars เจ๊ง กลุ่มเป้าหมาย exclusive แม่งยังไม่เอาเลย
Square Enix said:
-FF16 sales fell short of expectations. Initial momentum was in line with expectations, but the games failed to reach FY goal as its momentum slowed. No updates from sales number last announced at 3 million
-FF7 Rebirth sales fell short of expectations. Initial momentum didn't reach an internal target. No sales number to share
-Foamstars fell short of expectations. Initial momentum didn't reach an internal target. No sales number to share
-Remains confident FF16 can achieve its goal over the original 18-month sales plan. Also, sales of Rebirth and Foamstars aren't necessarily bad.
-Reorganized develoment team into five console teams, one smartphone game team
-Has been relied too much on an individual's creativity. Will promote sharing game making how-how among teams and will seek best balance of individual creativity and organizational discipline
-DQ12 remains under development.
Investors react:
-sell shares heavily, stocks fell to the day's trading limit
-concerns are pipelines have become too empty, no big titles that can lift up the company's top line over the next couple of years
