      Nothing. I remember Tomb Raider sold like 7 mil and they were crying about it

      And of course made the genius decision the next year to make the sequel Xbox exclusive for a year

        That Tomb Raider thing was completely asinine. It was a quality reboot of a series that had gone horribly off the rails with a lot of promise and Square tanked it with completely unreasonable expectations, apparently expecting sales in the dozens of millions. And here we are with FF apparently not meeting expectations as well–it’s easy to see where the issue is, and it’s not with the games.
