| MajorMalfunction said: Indies are generally lower-cost endeavours wrt. developing and publishing. 400K sales is a hit SF2 because it's thirty years old. AAA doesn't give a shit. They make 27 million off 1m sales. Publishing is 20m upfront, net profit is 7m. Same revenue on PS4XB1, but you only spend 12m. If you're a business, what would you choose? Unless the market is saturated, I cannot in good conscience pick NSW. It just doesn't make sense to me. We haven't even spent a cent on development and NSW is already far behind in terms of opportunity cost. |
Bethesda said they're fine with sales of their Switch games. Capcom, Bandai Namco and Ubisoft have sung nothing but praise for sales on the Switch. Also, you do realize the Switch is a new console with a smaller userbase as a result. As the Switch becomes more successful, it's going to be harder to ignore among developers, including whatever studio your working at (you are a game developer I assume right?).
