In that case I would ask why you don't expect them to have any legs after the holidays? It's not like there are a bunch of similar games coming out in the next few months that will cannibalize their sales. |
Mostly just my gut feeling, nothing really concrete. I subscribe to the belief that people buy Nintendo systems to play Nintendo games and games like em. I think that's a significant reason why many Indies perform better on Switch as they're generally similar to Nintendo games, I mean a lot of them are platformers and Nintendo is pretty much the only AAA dev that still makes those. I got Stardew Valley to help hold me over during the wait for Animal Crossing, as I've heard many others do, and I'll probably be getting Wargroove since Advance Wars seems to be dead. Gritty realistic first person experiences however aren't something Nintendo makes, and thus probably aren't a big want for the Nintendo audience. The inevitable direct will hopefully fill out the year's line-up, leaving consumers little time and money for lower priority games like Doom n Skyrim. Wont mind if I'm wrong though! (about AAA game sales, not the direct lel)
