That makes no sense. Street Fighter V would have sold 5-6+ millions on the PS4. That thread is too offensive and the base of the owner is that Switch will be a extremely success. Nintendo will only ship 2 millions at launch. The Switch will be successful on Japan, but we don't know by how much. Nintendo is jumping from a generation in which they sold 12-14 millions of consoles. |
So here's a fucking radical concept ... why not SUPPORT the system and help it become a success? You know, like instead of expecting Nintendo to work like a dog and do all the heavy lifting?
They seem very keen to give Sony/MS plenty of support before they sell even 1 single console, maybe once (just once) Nintendo could be afforded a little bit of the benefit of the doubt given that they've sold 50 million DS and 3DS units in the last 10 years in Japan (more than any 10 year stretch of any combined Playstation systems).
Japanese developers need to do some soul searching and ask themselves if they really want a future of traditional gaming in Japan and if there is to be such a future which platform has the best realistic chance of giving them that future.
Because I think it's becoming painfully obvious which system that is and it isn't the Playstation 4, but even then I'm not saying don't support the PS4. I'm just saying maybe, just freaking maybe it's time to look at the Switch, and I mean really look at it without the usual bullshit third parties tend to pull on Nintendo platforms.
Nintendo is only one in Japan that can move hardware en masse and that is PROVEN, that's not a hypothetical, even bearing the brunt of the smartphone/tablet storm, the 3DS is going to outsell the Famicom, Super Famicom, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, GBA, Wii, PSP, and Playstation 3 in Japan.
