Q
skyscraperview asked:
As Square Enix changes it's strategy from focusing on one platform to aiming for multi-platform releases, I wonder- how much effort does it take to do multiplatform dev from the start versus porting to them later? And even then- how long DOES it take / cost to make to make a port from a comparative platform like say, PS5 to Xbox Series? Is there a way you can use your experience in the industry to guess an average, or is it completely different from game to game and you can't make any estimations without WAY more data? I guess I'm just curious why SquareEnix released 15 for all formats to greater sales than either XVI or VIIremakes, but still decided to go PS first, others way later down the line.
