Wrong.

The conversation was about JP third party software, which is determined by global sales, not just domestic sales, hence why PS4 gets better support than SW and Ps5 will continue that.

This just further proves why JP third parties place PS4 as number 1: 65% of Capcoms packaged sales came from PS4. SW accounted for 19.5%.

Doesn't hurt that the PS4 has more Capcom games than Switch does by a mile..Not to mention that most of Switch's Capcom support are mostly late ports. Maybe if there were a few original (non-port) titles on Switch, that percentage might be higher for Switch. Octopath Traveler, Astral Chain, Daemon x Machina, and others have proven that original third party titles can be successful on Switch. Outside of Mega Man 11, has Capcom developed any other original AA-AAA title for Switch?

That's the entire point though:

Capcom's software pipeline is supported primarily by the PS4 and with RE, DMC, MH all breaking records Capcom are going to double down on the PS5. Same with SE, FF7R2, FF16, Project Athia, KH4, Nier are all going to be on PS5 and not SW, resulting in SE being heavily dependent on PS5.

We are talking about JP third party software in JP only, this article is about JP only, stop bringing the ww sales here.

Wrong.

The conversation was about how Japanese third party developers were doing in Japan, not Worldwide. You just hijacked it and tried to push global sales to give a point that nobody asked for.

Wrong again.

The initial post was making a statement on JP third party software support by using JP sales. This has proven to be a poor inidication, as I have mentioned prior, most JP pubs get most of their sales overseas and so JP third software pipeline is decided on overseas sales rather than domestic.

All I can say is..at this point, any Japanese developer that ignores Switch, which is selling well in Japan and the rest of the world, are going to be criticized for having bad business decisions. Example would be games like the new SAO game.

Sure, there will be games that sell better on PS, but Switch sales would be an added bonus at worst.

The Switch is selling incredibly well and destroying the top 20 on the weekly charts in Japan. Why ignore an established user base that is still growing?

Seems like Cy Games must have some deal with Sony, because they've also had that Granblue Fantasy action-RPG long in development only for PS4. But that's even more ridiculous, as it's a Japanese-centric game that seems likely to be pushed to 2021 now, releasing only for a system that'll be fizzling out by then.

PS4's software sales absolutely dominate SW worldwide. Granblue Fantasy is not Japanese centric, most of its sales will be overseas.
