How were they all on a downward trend? FF was fluctuating, MGS pretty stable, Crash pretty stable, Spyro last 2 entries sold the same, Tekken pretty stable. None of them saw a large increase from the last entry. The biggest increase was FFXII to FFXIII at 1.5 million (25% increase) a far cry from your previous statement that Nintendo franchises would double or triple in sales on PS/XB/PC. So basically you're saying people will buy a Switch as a 2nd console to play Mario Kart & co. like they did with Wii back in the day because its desirable hardware? Gotcha, we agree on that. Its far more likely that Switch sells closer to 3DS than it does to Wii U so the whole argument about benefitting from going 3rd party becomes a moot point. |
If a game released on console A and only console A and sells 10 million. And next time sells on Console A, B and C and sells 9/10 million. It's down to the strength of the IP. Nintendo's IP's aren't weak, unless you disagree?.
That's because Xbox fans have never been known to be interested in final fantasy. We know a large quantity of gamers are interested in Nintendo titles.
That's what I hope happens for them yes. But that is no garantee and we have no idea how well it would do. If switch doesn't do well then it means all interest in Nintendo hardware has died and they're strangling their IP's sale potential by them being exclusive to small user bases. That is my entire point.
