| NightDragon83 said: I think it would be smart for 3rd parties who are still hesitant to bring their major IPs to Nintendo's console for fear of low sales to release the remastered / enhanced ports of some of their last gen hits on the Switch, as they are basically tapping into an audience that for the most part really didn't play many of the big 3rd party AAA games last gen. For many Nintendo gamers, this'll be the first time playing a game like Skyrim for example when it's released on the Switch later this year. R* could bring portable ports of such hits as GTAV and RDR on the console to test the waters. I was skeptical about 3rd parties porting some of their older titles to Switch before the launch, but after the continued sales success of the Switch with no signs of slowing down and system seller hits like Splatoon 2 right around the corner, I'm willing to bet that Skyrim Switch will sell extremely well for a 6 year old title, especially since it'll be the only game of its kind when it releases in the fall. Would be great if Bethesda brough over enhanced versions of Fallout 3 / NV for Switch gamers as well. |
I'm tending to agree now too. I think Switch could have solid sales for a lot of Western third party ports of the older games but from high profile franchises.
GTAV, Skyrim, Mass Effect Trilogy, COD Black Ops Trilogy, Metal Gear Solid V, etc. stuff like that I could see doing well as well as NBA2K and FIFA.
Maybe not like huge sellers but a solid 800k-2 million in sales in some cases sure. I actually feel there are going to be a fair amount of PS4/XB1 owners that will buy a Switch (maybe 15-20 million or so), the system has appeal to a lot of those gamers IMO because you can't take a PS4/PS3/XB1/360 with you in your bag and they get the bonus of some Nintendo games as well.
