While Japan isn't the end all, be all; I am concerned that Nintendo is not even getting some of the older Japanese games, especially ones like Persona 5 (or Royal), Tekken, Soul Calibur, or the like. And its not like Nintendo Switch is just selling well in Japan, its selling well everywhere else too. Forget Japan, how well does the Switch have to do overseas in order to gain the attention from the big Japanese third party developers in regards to their high-profile games? Selling upgraded last-gen ports (i.e., Capcom) with only one noted original AA-AAA title (Mega Man 11) is not integrating oneself to the userbase. Square Enix, while not perfect, at least sold Octopath Traveler, DQXIS, and, soon, Bravely Default II, along with its plethora of FF ports/remasters. Where's Ace Attorney or Monster Hunter for Capcom? Heck, even if its a Sony-exclusive, I would like to see Street Fighter V: Champion's Edition on Switch. |
the thing is,third parties are very careful due to the fact that nintendo's first, second, and sponserd titles pretty much directly compete, and ulually OUTCLASS AND OUTSELL what most third parties can offer. PS doesn't really have that.
now when the ps4 dies and the ps5 would likely sell a lot less, thats when we'll see third parties jump to switch.
