For which will sell more, switch or Xbox version. 

Oh, I didn't realise predictions about which of those two versions would sell more were even a thing.

Not only that, I even predicted Switch version outselling PS4 version: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=235602



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

They probably accidently ported Demon's Souls to Switch and now got aware of that error.

All the work for nothing.

Hah. I would gladly repurchase Demon's Soul for Switch! But yeah, not gonna happen, as it was Sony published.

Porting to the Switch probably isn't easy. I suspect they're having trouble optimizing the game for such a weak hardware. I'd be glad if I was a nintendo fan, to be honest. Better wait a few months than have a 10 fps blighttown...again.

We already saw Blighttown though and it was running really well.

We don't know how it runs in portable mode in the most demanding areas though. There might be some problems there. I only mentioned blighttown because it an infamous area, but there might be similar issues in other areas. 



When a direct X360 port requires more work than upgrading to 4K60fps.

This is quite a rare occasion that I get pissed at a company, but damn am I pissed right now. If I get a PS4(again) before this game releases for the Switch(which is highly probable), I guess this will be skipped for a very long time.

Sigh it's hard to keep high faith in some third party's when it comes to Switch. Sure it's leaps and bounds ahead of Wii U, but things on this kinda line just keep happening. Aw well, thank goodness for such amazing 1st Party support to keep these things from having as much of a detrimental impact.



Not good. I’m still going to wait for the Switch version but I’m seeing a lot of posts on Reddit where people have decided to get a different version because of the delay.

Whyyyyyy

"Due to the nature of causality, we must announce that the Nintendo Switch version of will be pushed back to summer of 2018..."

Probably ran into a problem (that doesnt occure on the PS4/XB1), and need time to figour out how to deal with it on the Switch.

 

Oh no I saw the reason. It was just a me on my knees screaming at the sky moment lol. I'll probably end up not getting it now.

 

Dark Souls was the only game I was planning on getting next month. I'm getting Manticore & South Park this month so I might just get South Park next month instead. I honestly don't know.



This will certainly affect sales, but by how much? I will be getting my copy on PC, and possibly Switch, down the road. Dark Souls almost seems like it was meant to be played on PC, anyways, what with DSCM and the 60 FPS patch, etcetera.
