1. Not have them at launch/first month to get positive reviews
2. Add them when the first DLC from the season pass drops in
3. ???
4. Profit !

This is basically what's going to happen. It's already happened before and recently with CoD, it'll happen with Anthem as well.

 Publishers like EA/Acti want their money, so they'll play coy and act like they've "learned" their lesson. They never do learn, they just practice at appearing less deceptive. 

Breaking news: business wants to make money. 

 

If the loot crates are only cosmetic and not pay to win then it's absolutely fine as long as you can also buy the cosmetics separately with real money or in game credits.

Well if Vita matters the Wii U matters in the context of this conversation. And considering half the switches 1st party line up are Wii U ports I'd say it definitely should be included. 

Yeah, you are right.  I was just kidding.

My point is that Japanese gaming is handheld gaming.  I mean, PS4 is big worldwide while Vita is considered niche.  But in Japan the numbers are PS4 = 7.4m and Vita = 5.9m.  Vita is actually not that far behind the PS4 in Japan. (And 3DS = 24.4m)  It's just a handheld gaming culture. 

On top of that I'm sure most PS4 or Wii U owners have a handheld console in their household too.  I'm not sure how much overlap there is, but to be conservative I am only saying 3DS + Vita, and that would still put the Switch at 30m+.
