it's 1 million shipped with digital included, i think this games sales will fall of a cliff personally and be lucky if it reaches 2 million shipped. You can of course believe what you will, but your bias is showing, and making you look bad while at it. capcom and square are scrambling ? all i see is low budget games. Precicely. Meaning they want in on the platform no matter what, because they didn't prepare for it, and they see it as profitable. Whether they deliver high quality exclusives for the platform though, is another matter (hint - they probably won't). As a business decision is stupid to lock yourself to a 20 million user base, and that why nobody is really doing it, unless it's a low budget project, that's targeting 1-2 million sales. imagine a ambitious developer lets lock out over 200 million users with PC gaming rigs included, and choose to go exclusive on the weakest hardware, which is really gonna limit what they want to do. On that I kindly agree. It's not worth to develop AAA for the Switch alone, unless they're franchises guaranteed to sell incredibly well (MH, FF, etc). Mid tier titles would work best. The issue though, is that we're not even seeing THAT. For example, many third party franchises which do not require a huge budget could sell 1-3m on the Switch, yet third parties keep ignoring the platform, even today. Atlus with Persona, Capcom with many of their franchises, Namco Bandai (Ni no kuni - hello?), Konami with Castlevania and many more. |
