Forums - Sales Discussion - Famitsu Sales: W8, 2020 (Feb 17 - Feb 23)

This, also we'll need to wait untill ps5, those JP sony exclusives might jump then if ps5 sales are horrible in japan, which there is, in my opinion, a 50/50 chance of happening simply because japan is not into home consoles anymore.

Dengeki shared some insight about PS4/NSW multiplatform games

Week 1 - Nintendo Switch: 42.8% / PlayStation 4: 57.2%
LTD - Nintendo Switch: 55.6% / PlayStation 4: 44.4%

Those are total sales of the 78 multiplat titles.

That's very interesting. PS starts out stronger but fades quicker and the percentages basically reverse for LTD.



Signature goes here!

You must admit that it been 4 years that Persona 5 is out and it is still not on Switch. Not looking good for a port. But you can always hope. We never know.

Overwatch released in 2015, Switch port in 2019. Wonderful 101 realeased in 2013, Switch, PC and PS4 port in 2020. It could be in a similar scenario as those. I feel like Atlus is holding themselves back with all these exclusives. Why not just be available on Nintendo, Sony and Pc systems.

I don't agree with that. PS4 is almost at 10 million in Japan despite being a home console. So home console won't disappear in Japan.

Plus Final Fantasy VII Remake will be soon out so PS4 will be at 115 million units sold in Japan in matter of days so that's all good.

They are already making plenty of money on PS and have Sony's Aniplex/Music backing. The money on the table is a fraction of what they get know and might not be enough to compromise what they have now.

It wouldn't "compromise" anything. They'd simply add some extra income from Switch while losing absolutely nothing.

Yeah you're delusional. You questioned if Sony thinks Persona is important to them, and I evidently showed a SIE DIRECTOR saying it's important to Playstation.

Keep whining about Persona being exclusive to Playstation, saying it's absurd its absurd, while Persona and a dozen other Japanese games continue being PS exclusive as its business as usual.

Yeah, same as SMT.

"dozen other Japanese games continue being PS exclusive", nowadays, they at least come to pc too

SMTV has chances to come to PS4, unless Nintendo also has a deal. There are still a few that don't. 

Yakuza 7
Judgement
Persona 5, Dancing, Royal
Catherine FB
13 Sentinels
Dragons Crown

Nights of Azure
Idolmaster

FF Disisidia

GB Versus, ReLink

More importantly, most of these do not come out on other platforms like XBX or SW. If we were to account for PC, XBX would have 0 exclusives, and SW would have 0 third party exclusives.

Bear in mind they are combining all releases. A better indicator would have been simply counting how many titles did better on each platform.

Eventually Switch's install base advantage and active userbase outsells the PS4 titles, but it is a bit of a small margin considering right now it is:

HW- Nintendo Switch: 58%/ Playstation 4: 42%

If people expect Switch to sell 25m and PS4 10m then it will be:

LTD- Nintendo Switch: 71%/ Playstation 4: 29%

So eventually multiplatform games on Switch should double the sales of PS4 multiplatform games. This is all discounting the fact that digital games exist, which PS4 generally has the advantage there too...

Nothing wrong with wanting a game on a device that allows to be played on TV and on the go. Especially if its from a third party company and how its not a demanding game (graphic wise). Switch is just about to hit 3 years old. It probably still got 3+ years left.

That is very interesting. Japanese third parties really are being quite foolish by not taking supporting the Switch more seriously, they could be making so much more off its userbase than they are now.
