Arms has probably sold more in Japan than marvel has worldwide
Now this is harsh, though I'm not convinced of MvC:I sales to say that it's almost definitely false.

You didn't want to believe it but this quarter just began for 3DS and PS4.
I don't agree that a successful system in Japan is only when it sells 20m.
Also what i said about western/asia expand is relevant with the domestic sales, considering that they seem more than fine with these PS4 software/hardware sales. Otherwise we would have seen more multiplatform announcements. Of course i could be wrong, so let's wait and see.
Massive drops for CS3 and FEW.
It's not ingenious. It's just business. 3DS is profitable and they can't make enlightened switches. Might as well sell some 3ds games and hardware.
The last batch of 3ds games have been remakes or updates. Nothing with long development cycled and high costs.
Would metroid and Pokemon be more exciting on Switch? Sure, but also more expensive and Switch is already sold out.
Gotta spread it out.
That's what all the generation leaders with substantial software sales have done minimum for the past few generations.
Probably not much.I wonder how much of an impact the lack of 3DS BC on switch has had on 3DS software. I imagine Nintendo and others likely expected more from their titles.
Maybe late transitions made more sense when the new systems still played the old games.
This is the part you back up the claims with actual data. How many system performed better in Japan entering their 6 year?I love how everyone kept saying how ingenious it was to put these games on 3DS' "giant userbase (right)" instead of the Switch.
Saw this one coming a mile away, seems like Metroid isn't setting the charts on fire either (globally).
I dont think many were calling for Nintendo to cancel 3DS software outright, but I dont see a simultaneous release being too much to ask for.
Samus Returns wouldve probably done super well on a slower release month on Switch.
They even did it with FEW on New 3DS
Makes sense. The guy talking sound american, and the commercial is original american (SMB3 commercial only), so i was wondering =)We had that ad for mario 3 in the uk
To be fair, FE Warriors has been requested for quite a while.Hey KT, give Musou a rest for a while.
So if a home console sells 15m (previously you made it seem like 5m is not a big gap) it would not be successful?
I think this is a weird statement considering that unless it's a portable, you can't expect 20m sales from today's market. The generation leaders you talk about got released in a ''different'' market, so i don't think all comparisons are valid.
I don't think anyone implied that.
Alongside PS4 lol
That's like saying 3DS "alongside" Vita. By the end of next year, this thing's a wrap.
Despite growth in region, Asia is still a drop in the bucket compared to Japan for consoles. And in the west Switch is selling incredibly well, and notably Japanese 3rd party games on it seem to be outperforming PS4 (Disgaea 5, Puyo Puyo Tetris).5-10m is a pretty huge gap.
With japanese companies looking to expand their sales in Asia and west where the Playstation brand is stronger i doubt we will see any big changes.

Sonys weakness in Japan could definitely be an issue for them in the future versus a Japan dominating, globally successful Switch.
Nope, here have 3 more next month!Hey KT, give Musou a rest for a while.
11./11. [NSW] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild # <ADV> (Nintendo) {2017.03.03} (¥6.980) - 6.196 / 604.865 (-19%)
Lol thats true ,although Twilight Princess sold much more than Ocarina lf Time but never reached 1 million in JapanBOTW is a OoT tier Zelda game in terms of relative domestic and and worldwide popularity. Very few could have predicted it actually being so nut it's impact is unquestionable at this point/
Nope, here have 3 more next month!
With samus Returns specifically, Mercury Steam had made a similar game with an HD port in mind with MoF. Nintendo had paid for timed exclusivity keeping the port from coming sooner.Is it worth it to take interest and sales out of a 3DS version?
There was a precedent of a Warrior Spin off going from home console to 3DS with Hyrule warriors. What this means is that developers already had the engine working for an easy 3DS version.
Does Mercury Steam could have their Samus Return's engine running on Switch by september 15? Do they have the resources to do that at that stage in time?
With that said there's nothing preventing an improves Samus Returns version hitting the Switch eventually. So it can have it's time to shine on the Switch with a bigger user base and without impacting 3DS sales.
3DS destrpyed Vita in terms of 3rd party support?Nah this is an practically impossible scenario in terms of ever being a real problem for Sony. All you have to do is look at the Vita's support relative to the 3DS for the reality of the situation to hit.

All I read from that is that the Switch will be the biggest platform in Japan by the end of next year... not that the PS4 will be dead...
Nobody has tried to claim that the PS4 will be dead.

Switch sales continuing to be bottlenecked by the supply. Geez, every time there's a major release now it just provides false hope for the sales actually holding up. At least the software is showing its legs.
Also, congrats to BOTW Switch for crossing the 600k mark.
He probably mean in regards to who will sell the most hardware. The initial quote was just if Japan will be "Switch land". Both PS4 and Switch will continue to be relevant in Japan this generation.He said regarding PS4 that ''that thing is a wrap next year''. In what state do you he is implying it except from dead/finished?
Only 2% drop for XV2 Switch. Why so low? Supply = Demand?
18./17. [3DS] The Snack World: TreJarers <RPG> (Level 5) {2017.08.10} (¥4.800) - 4.126 / 176.959 (-19%)
I mean holding back stock for a release like Odyssey makes sense no?

Whats LTD for Xenoversr 2 PS4?
Oh aye - I was suspicious of such being the tactic all the way back when ARMS' release was imminent. It's just slightly sad because it also caps the console's chances of catching up to the 3DS - which would just be astounding to see - before week 36 on kinda spoils any hope there.
Will we ever find out Zelda Wii U sales from Nintendo?
I thought I saw here that they are done listing Wii U games in financial reports.
Wonder how it did on the eshop.Famitsu:
135.286 (11.217 digital)
why?That one is awesomeA bit tiring to see the same image every MC thread several times...
A slow week indeed and big drops for a lot of games.
I see that now Disgaea 5 and Puyo Tetris are "notably japanese games"
Then this further increases the chances you' ll get Samus Return on Switch eventually while 3DS sales are not affected. And higher chances that the version gets further improvements beyond res and frame rate since a good bulk of the work, according to what you said here, has been done.With samus Returns specifically, Mercury Steam had made a similar game with an HD port in mind with MoF. Nintendo had paid for timed exclusivity keeping the port from coming sooner.
Even if it didnt look like a high end Switch game, at 1080p 60fps i think people wouldve been happy
