I think the wording should be dying, not dead. However I do find it amusing that I been saying this for quiet sometime, but for some reason I am being negative. So sadly not everyone knows this, in fact couple of the people I argued against in this very thread do not know this. 

However I think you made mistake to state Sony has long given up on Japan, but that is an argument for another time. 

However on to the current argument I will argue Monster Hunter effect on hardware was more front loaded than PSP/3DS effect, and it was not as big of an effect as previously seen by those two devices. However I will agree that people need to chill. 

PS4 is doing meh, but it isn't awful.

I agree with you. In the thread I was the one saying that with such low expectations as were thrown around (for Japan specifically) Capcom couldn't be happy. I myself expected a small decline and was the one with one of the highest expectations. MHW blew all predictions away, at least for Japan.

Considering the small memory size and mutliplayer focus of Tennis It'll be interesting to see Famitsu's digital numbers for the game.

So basically Japan.

If we are still talking about Japan (meaning, what would sell in Japan) to answer you question, I think Octopath Traveler certainly. But nothing that could compare to a mainline Monster Hunter.

I should have worded it a bit differently. I should have said PS4 is at the baseline and Switch is the same as last week, which is what I would like Switches baseline to be. 

Whatever you say bossman. All I was doing is stay true to my expectations, which were mine and mine alone.

Mario Tennis Aces did better than I expected.

Last I checked the year isnt over, and you may have heard of a few killer apps such as Yokai Watch, Pokemon, and Smash. Enjoy pontificating while you can

I think PS4 does pretty well actually. Sure, it is no PS2, DS or even PSP. But it does pretty good. This is shown by the fact, that pretty much every japan-centric game is releasing on PS4, even as PSV-support is dwindling. That shows PS4 is a relevant device in Japan. Yes, it took a while to get there, but it is now. And sales are fine I think. The device is years old, it is probably behind it's peak, so these sales are very fine. That there is a new device that sells more currently shouldn't let us conclude PS4 does bad. On the contrary, while I see the hit 3DS and PSV took since the Switch released, the PS4-sales proofed to be stable against the influence of the competitor.

No clue. Those games are copy past + add new suits anyway. So I have no idea.
