After all, it\u2019s still a big commitment to play through the previous two parts.<\/p>\n<p>Our guess is that the PS5\u2019s share of sales will dramatically decline, but the overall numbers will stay roughly similar, although we\u2019re open to being proven wrong. It\u2019s also perhaps worth pointing out that Square Enix may lose Sony\u2019s substantial marketing support as well.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Square Enix\u2019s financial results are largely uneventful for the first half of its fiscal year ending 31st March, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>It registered a 15% drop in net sales but an increase in overall operating profit, with its merchandising sales increasing significantly on the back of Final Fantasy\u2019s uber-popular Magic the Gathering set.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:188399,161799 @ 1762511957 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\">\n<header class=\"widget-header\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<div class=\"object-related-list\">\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/1c8dee00eb057\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Worried Fans Can Rest Easy: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is 'Doing Very Well' on PS5, PC\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Worried_Fans_Can_Rest_Easy_Final_Fantasy_7_Rebirth_Is_%E2%80%98Doing_Very_Well_on_PS5_PC\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Worried Fans Can Rest Easy: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is &#8216;Doing Very Well&#8217;

Maybe this is the reason behind SE&#8217;s new approach.<\/p>\n<p>There was a time I would have thought this was bad for SE and bad for Playstation, but I don&#8217;t think thats the case now &#8211; I don&#8217;t think this affects Playstation at all now.<\/p>\n<p>But I do think this is risky for SE. If they lose Sony&#8217;s marketing it will be a loss for them, but a game simply being a PS console exclusive made it feel like a &#8216;much bigger deal&#8217; to a lot of PS console owners, even if only from a perception point of view. Will their new approach net them enough sales elsewhere to counter this &#8211; Im not so sure.<\/p>\n<p>It also means they are going to be working on far more versions for the initial launch of every game that would have been exclusive &#8211; given recent games technical performance, I&#8217;m not sure thats a good idea at all.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8896526\" data-author=\"users\/356843\" data-subject=\"comments\/8896526\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8896526\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/356843\/avatar.jpg?v=1761467210\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"TrollOfWar\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/11\/dont-expect-any-ps5-exclusives-from-square-enix-in-the-future#comment8896526\">12<\/a><\/li>\n<li>TrollOfWar<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-11-07T10:36:23+00:00\">3m ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>Our guess is that the <strong>PS5\u2019s share of sales will dramatically decline<\/strong>, but the overall numbers will stay roughly similar, although we\u2019re open to being proven wrong.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Why would that be the case?

But in general the sales numbers could be higher compared to the first 2 parts if it launches on all major platforms including PC and Switch 2.
