Yeah well, the majority here are gamers and I think we can speak for ourselves. If most gamers here say they will buy a new Resident Evil/Monster Hunter/Street Fighter on Switch while not buying these ridiculous overpriced testports, then I do believe them and not some random analysts who are wrong most of the time anyway (Michael Pachter best example and of course many more failed predictions made in history). |
Yeah, sure... because people saying they will buy something measures the success of something.
Ghostbusters showed us this, or was it the black female spider man or iron man? Nope, loud minority doesn't decide anything.
And have I said Michael Patcher? Nope, I said Capcom executives, you know, guys responsible to keep the business afloat. They need to know a little to at least keep the company profitable. And I can guarantee to you they look at sales for each product, with timestamps, platform sold, region and etc to make better decisions on future endeavor.
People on the internet do kneejerk reactions and promise they'll avoid a brand or buy something and them change their minds.
