"Evaluate"
Actually it means that Nintendo has to pay for new games, the same way Sony paid to keep the Switch version of MonHun World out.
I think it may actually outsell Monster Hunter World
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

This. Ubisoft has been doing it with BG&E2 for years now. I'm surprised they actually decided to actually make the game, instead of having it as a trump card.
This reminds me of their thest with Resident Evil 4 Wii port. The game sold really well, so they made the Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii while the PS3 and X360 got Resident Evil 5.
Everything can be used to gauge if you know how to threat the data. It's safer to release 2 cheap ports and evaluate the success than to compromise on an AAA exclusive payed solely by you. Or has Nintendo gone to them and offered money for they to develop an exclusive? Nintendo themselves keep very safe but you guys want to complain on 3rd parties like they own anything to Nintendo. |
No we don't act like 3rd parties own anything to Nintendo. We all know how bad Nintendo treats 3rd party. Still, Capcom's logic with this one is beyond flawed. SF2 is a SNES game from 1991! Still it sold relatively well at $40. What if it didn't (as it should have)? Does Capcom really think a brand new SF game on Switch would sell terrible because people didn't want to pay $40 for a 26 year old game? Capcom was lucky because Switch' software line-up is incredibly limited and people just want to play something. But no way would a rip-off like SF2 sell near that number (500k) on X1 or PS4 even with their bigger install bases. Based on that logic they shouldn't release any game on X1/PS4 at all.
They've really fallen

They aren't blackmailing anyone. 99% of people buying these games will never see what capcom said.
This is game is tracking to have underwhelming sales. Is that going to be the justification for cutting off Switch support?
Fuck you Capcom.

To be fair, Nintendo is only big hardware company that has ever had this issue where even the most popular third party titles simply do not sell well, especially if those titles are offered on competitor platforms. It's become an established fact that the majority of people who buy Nintendo hardware only buy Nintendo software. Cant blame third parties when neither they nor Nintendo have any control over that. |
This is an over-generalization, I'd say.
Lots of third-party games underperform on PS/Xbox, most recently you can see Prey for example. There are well-selling third-party titles on Nintendo, but you are not entirely wrong, either: Nintendo home consoles surely have a problem even with genuinely good efforts, such as many on the Wii U - Tekken Tag 2, Assassin's Creed 4 for example, surely deserved to do a lot better.
Most recently on the Switch, the same Capcom had SF2 sell stupid numbers considering it was $40 and genuinely an old game.
It'll be hilarious is this keeps on happening all the way until the Switch's lifespan is over.
