You’re talking about a subset of a subset. If I market a product to that segment of the population and I find, say, 10 black super consumers who each spend $100 on the special edition and $200 on various microtransactions, I still don’t make as much money as I would have if I had courted a customer base of 50 white average consumers people who each buy the $60 standard edition and $20 of various microtransactions.
And that’s assuming that there’s no overlap and no white super consumers, which is untrue. The amount of black super consumers who would buy Final Fantasy XVI if it had been in fantasy Africa may be a slightly larger number than would buy this version, but the latter number is certainly not zero, because the determining factors for a purchase are mostly going to be things like “are they into gaming” “do they like this type of game” and “do they have a machine that can play the game,” rather than “are there enough blacks.” Which is not to deny the existence of the black racialist group, just to say that I don’t know how much overlap it has with the black video game enthusiast group.
