I don’t see why it couldn’t. It had twice the value of other high-profile Microsoft releases but cost half as much. Put out another one, flesh out the friend attack systems, and charge what it’s actually worth. Without Game Pass eating into copies sold, you should be able to make money off of a $60 release, surely.
I mean, if we assume that guy makes 6 billion won per year, that’s less than $5M USD. You could absolutely turn around a sequel to Hi-Fi Rush and profit by significantly more than that. It’s not like it would be a drop in the bucket.
