Not that I believe FFVIIR or Avengers come in 2019, but technically it doesn't say "no major games this year". FY2020/3 means April 2019-March 2020. So mid-year of this FY is from October 2019-March 2020.
When do you think Cyberpunk and TLOU2 release?
And SE is saying their major games will release October 2019-March 2020, so how does that show they're shook?
Interesting. I assumed it meant mid-2020 as TLOU2 is rumoured to Feb, whilst Cyberpunk Q1 2020.
Reading what is posted here I would not rule out a AAA release in FY2020/4 ie Jan - March 2020. A lot of this is them ruling out growth upto and during FY2020/3. A major release in March 2020 would contribute to major growth in FY2021/1
See above. You are likely correct but I wouldn't rule out a late Q1 release.
They expect to roughly do what they did last FY, which was KH3, Just Cause 4, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, DQB2 (in Japan), Octopath Traveler, etc.
But I think he's saying that they'd be releasing around the same time, tho.
Eh, I get what you mean, but their big stuff is still some of the biggest in the industry.
I mean we are talking about a quarter of a year here, 3 months. Multiple AAA games are capable of releasing in that timeframe without needing to directly compete with one another.
My reply was about the posts saying they moved the releases because they're shook by TLOU2 and Cyberpunk, which makes no sense as SE says here they're releasing in October '19-March '20, so around/before the rumored releases of those two games. I assume the posters misunderstood the FY2020/3 term as 3rd quarter of calendar year 2020.
Considering the dev times it seems like they still haven't fully adjusted to HD even after all these years.
They're saying here they're releasing their next major titles after this fiscal year's mid-year, so October '19-March '20 and that's either means just FFVIIR or also Avengers. The huge spike in their operating income will show itself in the following FY though because the games release in the later part of this FY and generally the operating income will not be as high in the FY they release in because of the associated dev and marketing costs, as far as I understood it.
FFXV came out on 2016 and FF7R pt 1 will likely come out 2020 so 4 years?
Hm? If FFVIIR drops in late 2019/early 2020 it will be ~3 years just like it's been pretty much since 2006. FFXII released in 2006, FFXIII in 2009, FFXIV 1.0 in 2010, FFXIV: ARR in 2013 (if you count that as a new FF), FFXV in 2016. I could see FFXVI come in 2021/2022 depending on FFVIIR's second game.
Oh yeah that will most likely be the longest gap. I assume SE will treat FF7R like their next mainline FF game.
