I don't ignore that at all. Just because gamers speak in extremes doesn't mean he is saying anything contradictory. The game is selling around half of what FFVII did. It is underperforming.

Says who? This is what I was debating from the beginning. Posters like you keep saying this but there is not a single source that has numbers for this. No, using UK and JP disc numbers is not proof the game is selling half of what remake did.

It appears you are emotionally invested in this because this isn't something you want to hear.

Nah, it just legit annoys me when gamers do this typical thing where because they personally dislike something (Whether that is video games not being ported to the PC day one, more hate-boner towards sony doing things, or because muh FF turn based battle system, etc.) they keep doing this dishonest hate-posting thing and it just gets old. (Keep in mind Its one thing if you just aren't into it....completely fine).

Posters doing this whole dishonest song and dance saying its doom and gloom game sold terribly see this is what they get, it shoulda' been on the peecee day one (despite having not a single clue how the game did in north america, the biggest region for video game sales)....it all comes off as pathetic coping.

There is no way the game sold well and is totally a flop so maybe they will think twice about taking dirty sony money and port on the PC from the start while making switch ports, because this is something this group of gamers truly want to hear, lol.

There is nothing that indicates he is only guessing these sales figures. He works for a company that specifically has Square-Enix as a client to provide analysis. Obviously that will include information that we are not privy to.

When someone like Daniel Ahmad or Mat Piscatella post something about sales figures they're about as reliable as it can possibly get outside of the publisher themselves as this is literally their day to day job. They're not hiding behind an anonymous account. They work with these companies and they are considered a source of information. They are liable and responsible that the things they say are accurate.

Alright then, and if he is this reliable then you doing some mental gymnastics and trying to twist his "People have really bad reading comprehension if they think both games flopped and sales are awful." post since you yourself are emotionally invested and refuse to believe it as a "pshh, I don't speak in gamer extremes. Its just code for the game is unperforming" type of thing is completely unneeded. Just believe him in that sales or not awful, the game did not flop, and wait for square-enix to post about the game theirselves =/
