He has a point though the 3DS is being handled the same way Sony handle their prior platform where it is supported while being phased out this helps smooth out the migration of one userbase into the next SR is the Metroid fill for 3DS while Switch gets its own title that's the whole point. They didn't fail on the timing as Switch was only out for a few months at that point with people still wondering what games were on the way (Switch at that point I recall had sold about 5-6m that doesn't account for the other 60m 3DS users at the time either), we see time and time again the Metroid userbase being loud but never walk the walk. Fact is a kickstarter backed Metroidvania game in Hollow Knight heavily outsold SR in the same time frame. |
Can't speak for others. But I know for a fact if hollow knight was only on 3ds I wouldn't have bought it no matter what praise it got not even for $5. I got it because it was available on the switch
